This material is plant-derived and expected to be biodegradable in typical cosmetic use. Sustainability depends on cultivation or harvesting practices and on the extraction solvent system used by the supplier.
Is Scarlet Pimpernel COSMOS-approved?
It can be permitted under COSMOS-natural or COSMOS-organic when the plant source, extraction method, and solvents meet the standard. It fits Green Chemistry best when sourced from responsibly grown material and extracted with lower-impact solvents such as water, glycerin, or ethanol.
How does Scarlet Pimpernel work chemically?
This material is a complex botanical extract rather than a single molecule, typically carrying polar plant constituents such as phenolics, flavonoid-type compounds, and saponin-like fractions depending on the solvent. Stability and compatibility are supplier-specific, but these extracts are usually formulated in the water phase and supported by the product’s preservative system.
