Ocimum basilicum extract is an extract from basil that is used in cosmetic formulations. Ocimum basilicum extract is obtained by steam distillation from the leaves and flowering shoot tips.
The extract contains linalool (40-45%) and methyl chavicol (approx. 24%).
The extract acts as an antioxidant (inhibits oxidation processes caused by oxygen and thus the degradation and spoilage of ingredients) and hair conditioning agent (makes hair easier to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and gives it volume). It also has a skin-caring effect.
