Malachite Extract
Other names: Copper green, malachite extract
Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Malachite extract, also known as Copper green, is a medicinal antioxidant extracted from the mineral malachite. This powerful antioxidant is full of copper, which plays a major role in the overall health of the skin's surface. It can help increase collagen and elastin production, which plumps and smooths the skin. It also improves the skin's ability to resist damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress, which means it can help prevent premature skin aging. It should be noted that although malachite extract is natural, its preparation for cosmetic purposes requires considerable chemical treatment.
Malachite extract is used in a variety of cosmetic and skin care products, including creams, masks, cleansers, serums and many others. These products can serve as protection against stress and pollution and can improve the texture, appearance and overall quality of the skin. It is also suitable for sensitive skin as it has strong anti-inflammatory properties - and so can help to reduce inflammation and irritation. However, despite its many benefits, there are still some concerns regarding possible allergic reactions and skin irritation. It is therefore important to prevent any negative reactions by performing a sensitivity test before first use.
