Rose petals contain anthocyanins, a type of natural pigment with antioxidant properties. These pigments are stable in acidic conditions and exhibit vibrant red-to-pink hues. They also possess mild moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effects, derived from polysaccharides and flavonoids in roses.
Natural Colorant: Rose pigments provide a customizable range of red and pink shades without synthetic dyes. Their pH-responsive nature allows subtle color shifts (e.g., deeper reds in acidic formulations).
Hydration & Protection: The polysaccharides in rose extracts enhance lip moisture retention, preventing dryness and chapping.
