Naturalissimo's Nettle Glycerin Extract: Properties and Uses in Cosmetology

The modern cosmetics industry is increasingly turning to natural ingredients that combine effectiveness and safety. One such product is nettle glycerin extract—a concentrate obtained by extracting the plant's beneficial substances using glycerin. This product is prized for its rich composition and broad spectrum of action, making it widely used in skin and hair care.

What is Naturalissimo Nettle Glycerin Extract?

Nettle glycerin extract is obtained from fresh or dried nettle leaves by maceration in vegetable glycerin. This method preserves the maximum amount of biologically active compounds: vitamins, minerals, organic acids, flavonoids, and chlorophyll. Glycerin acts not only as a solvent but also as a humectant, giving the resulting extract a comprehensive effect—nourishing and retaining moisture in the skin and hair.

Chemical composition

The composition of glycerin extract of nettle contains:

• vitamins B, C, K, E;
• microelements (iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, silicon);
• organic acids (formic, succinic, malic);
• flavonoids and tannins;
• chlorophyll and carotenoids.

It is this combination of components that makes the extract a universal cosmetic product.

Useful properties in cosmetology

1. Moisturizing and restoring the skin
Thanks to glycerin, nettle extract perfectly moisturizes the skin, preventing dryness and flaking. It softens the upper layers of the epidermis, promotes moisture retention, and restores the skin's natural hydrolipidic balance.

2. Anti-inflammatory effect
Nettle is known for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. The extract reduces irritation and helps care for problematic skin prone to acne and inflammation. It reduces redness, eliminates itching, and promotes tissue regeneration.

3. Fight against oily skin
Nettle extract regulates sebaceous gland function, reducing excess sebum production. This property is especially valuable for those with oily and combination skin. Regular use of nettle-based products makes skin matte, fresh, and clearer.

4. Antioxidant protection
Nettle's biologically active compounds neutralize free radicals, slow the aging process, and help maintain skin elasticity. This antioxidant effect is especially important for preventing wrinkles and a dull complexion.

5. Strengthening hair and scalp
Nettle glycerin extract is widely used in trichology. It strengthens roots, stimulates hair growth, and prevents hair loss. The extract improves microcirculation in the scalp, eliminates dandruff and itching, and makes hair shiny and healthy.

6. Healing effect
Nettle contains tannins and vitamins that accelerate the healing of minor skin damage, cracks, and micro-inflammations. This makes the extract useful for sensitive and damaged skin.
