Chaste Tree Oil Extract (Vitex Agnus Castus Extract) – Natural Balance and Versatile Applications
Chaste Tree Oil Extract (Vitex Agnus Castus Extract), derived from the fruits of the chaste tree, is a valuable fat-soluble plant active ingredient. The plant Vitex Agnus Castus has been known for its diverse applications for centuries. In modern cosmetics, chaste tree is highly regarded for its regulating and skin-soothing properties, while in food it can add a spicy, slightly peppery note.
The Active Ingredients of Chaste Tree Oil Extract
The oil extract from chaste tree is characterized by various bioactive substances:
- Flavonoids (e.g., Casticin): Have antioxidant effects and contribute to the protection of the skin against free radicals.
- Essential oils: Have calming and balancing properties that can support irritated or sensitive skin.
- Fat-soluble plant substances: Promote skin regeneration and can enhance moisture-retaining effects.
Benefits for cosmetic products
- Soothing and regulating effect: The oil extract may have anti-inflammatory effects and thus contribute to the relief of skin irritations.
- Moisture support: Thanks to the fat-soluble components, monk's pepper oil extract helps to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss.
- Anti-Aging Potential: The antioxidant properties of flavonoids help protect the skin from oxidative stress and reduce fine lines.
- Support for hormonally stressed skin: Vitex agnus-castus is traditionally associated with a balancing effect on hormone-related skin issues.
Application in food
Vitex agnus-castus has been used since ancient times as a seasoning and flavoring ingredient. The oil extract can impart a subtle, slightly peppery note to foods in small doses. It is particularly suitable for savory dishes, marinades, dressings, and spicy dips. However, due to its intense flavors, careful dosing is essential in culinary use.
Manufacturing and Purity
Monk's pepper oil extract is obtained through a gentle extraction process from the dried fruits. This process preserves the sensitive, fat-soluble active ingredients in their most natural composition, thus ensuring high quality and effectiveness – both for cosmetic formulations and for use in food.
Recommended Usage Concentration
Cosmetic Formulations: Typically, 1–3% is recommended in creams, lotions, or serums. For special intensive or treatment applications, the concentration can be adjusted.
Food: Depending on the desired flavor intensity, the dosage is usually between 0.1–0.5%.Due to its characteristic aroma, it should always be used with caution.
Clinical Studies and Efficacy
Scientific investigations suggest that chaste tree has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Additionally, it is traditionally used to support a balanced hormonal system, which can positively affect the complexion. (Sources: Journal of Herbal Pharmacotherapy, Natural Skincare Research)
