About
A multipurpose botanical extract with antimicrobial properties, used in oral care and skin-brightening products.
Produced by controlled ozonolysis of ethyl oleate, this ingredient generates reactive ozonides and peroxides with antimicrobial and bleaching properties. Ozonized oils have a history of use in wound care and oral hygiene. The controlled process yields a stable product, though the reactive oxygen species content means it should be carefully formulated to avoid irritation.
