Iris has been known since ancient times for its various colors, its peppery aroma, used in perfumery and medicinal root extracts. It is also called iris and is a flower from the Iridaceae family. It includes up to 300 species of flowering plants, distributed in different climatic zones – Europe, North Africa, Asia, and North America. There are many legends and legends about the beautiful flower.
Iris (Perunika) was the name of the beautiful sister of the god Perun. She planted a beautiful flower before she died of an unknown disease. In her honor, the god Perun called it iris, marked its root and it turned rose-red, gaining divine power.
In ancient Greek mythology, Iris, a Greek word for “heavenly rainbow”, is the goddess of the rainbow, depicted as a beautiful maiden with long saffron wings. As the rainbow is connected with Heaven and Earth, Iris was the mediator between gods and men and ruler of water. With a golden cup, she poured water from the river Styx, from the underworld of the gods. Iris gave this water to the clouds, and they watered the earth with the rains. This is how the connection between the three worlds – Gods, People, and the Underworld was realized. The beautiful plant’s rainbow-bright colors and ability to store water in its fleshy roots confirm its connection with Iris from mythology.
Supercritical CO2 Iris root extract (Iris germanica root extract) in action
The 100% organic extract from the roots of wild Bulgarian Iris is obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction. This is the most gentle, innovative method of extracting the useful ingredients from plants – without traces of chemical agents, the finest aromatic molecules, carriers of the priceless, healing substances from plants, have been extracted.
The content of iris extract includes tannins, descending substances, essential oils, isoflavones. Isoflavones are substances from the group of plant estrogens known to have the most powerful action among phytoestrogens. They slow down the aging process of the skin by limiting the enzymes responsible for the breakdown of structural proteins and the reduced synthesis of collagen and elastin. Isoflavones from iris stimulate the synthesis of binding molecules of the skin-epidermal junctions, strengthen the overall protective function of the skin and reduce the depth of wrinkles. They improve skin tone and hydration.
Supercritical extraction allows the extraction of an absolutely pure, authentic aroma with a balancing and harmonizing effect.
