Portulaca Oleracea Extract
Portulaca Oleracea Extract is derived from the whole plant of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L., Portulacaceae), a succulent with bright yellow flowers used in Korean traditional medicine. It is notably rich in omega-3 fatty acids (α-linolenic acid), natural moisturizing factors (polysaccharides and amino acids), vitamins (β-carotene), minerals, and antioxidants including yellow betaxanthins and reddish betacyanins. Its CAS number is 90083-07-1 and EC number is 290-201-1.
Purslane Extract is recognized as a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent, with research supporting its ability to soothe irritated skin and promote wound healing. Its rich nutritional profile — including omega-3 fatty acids, NMFs, and pigment-based antioxidants — contributes to skin conditioning and barrier support.
