Marjoram
Common Name(s): Marjoram,aromatic herb extract/oil,bioactive polyphenol fragrance
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides antioxidant protection from polyphenol radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory activity from rosmarinic acid or flavonoid nf-kb inhibition, antimicrobial protection from terpenoid membrane disruption, and aromatic fragrance benefit.
Why It's Used: Aromatic herbs combine therapeutic phytochemistry with fragrance heritage โ the same polyphenols and terpenoids providing biological activity also contribute to the product's scent profile, providing multi-purpose value.
How It Works: Polyphenols (rosmarinic acid, luteolin, apigenin) inhibit nf-kb and cox-2 at ic50 1โ20 ฮผm. monoterpene terpenoids (linalool, camphor, carvacrol, thymol) disrupt microbial membranes and activate/desensitise trpv1/trpm8 sensory receptors. rosmarinic acid's caffeic acid ester structure provides dual antioxidant from catechol groups + ester-linked caffeate.
Typically Found In: Aromatherapy,anti-inflammatory,natural fragrance
