What is Melissa officinalis Leaf Extract?
Melissa officinalis, commonly known as lemon balm, is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region and parts of Asia. Today, it is widely cultivated in Europe, North America, and temperate regions worldwide. The plant's leaves are rich in beneficial compounds like rosmarinic acid, flavonoids, and essential oils (e.g., citral and citronellal). These compounds are known for their calming effects, antioxidant properties, and ability to support digestion and skin health.
Raw Material and Sourcing
Our Melissa officinalis Leaf Extract is derived from premium-grade lemon balm grown in Eastern Europe, a region renowned for its fertile soil and optimal climate for cultivating high-quality lemon balm. This ensures the raw material is packed with active compounds, especially rosmarinic acid. We choose this region because of its strict agricultural standards and eco-friendly farming practices, which align with our commitment to sustainability.
Processing and Extraction
The fresh leaves are carefully harvested and quickly air-dried at low temperatures to preserve their active ingredients. The dried leaves are then milled into a fine powder before undergoing an advanced water-ethanol extraction process. This method ensures maximum yield of rosmarinic acid and other bioactives while maintaining the purity and potency of the extract. The extract is subsequently filtered, concentrated, and spray-dried into a fine powder, making it suitable for diverse applications.
Key Active Compound
Our focus is on rosmarinic acid, a powerful antioxidant known for reducing oxidative stress, calming the nervous system, and offering anti-inflammatory benefits. This compound makes our extract a versatile ingredient for multiple industries.
