Dogwood fruits are a valuable source of active ingredients, such as phenolic compounds, vitamin C, iridoids, flavonoids and anthocyanins. Plant extracts and substances derived from latin Cornus mas L. exhibit not only strong antibacterial but also antioxidant and tonicity properties, effectively preventing the development of inflammation in living organisms. In the present study, we attempted to obtain the innovative, multi-functional plant extract from the fruit of dogwood (Cornus mas L.). During the extraction process a mixture of water, glycerol, and vegetable oil were used as an extractant. The usage of such mixtures of solvents enabled us to extract a variety of active substances, soluble in both water and oils. The obtained extracts were analyzed for their physicochemical and biochemical properties, in order to apply the extract in a body nutrient lotion. The results clearly showed that such extract could be an innovative and multi-functional raw material used in cosmetics industry.
山茱萸果实是活性成分的宝贵来源，如酚类化合物、维生素 C、环烯醚萜、类黄酮和花青素。植物提取物和源自拉丁语 Cornus mas L. 的物质不仅表现出强大的抗菌作用，而且具有抗氧化和收敛特性，有效防止生物体中炎症的发展。在本研究中，我们试图从山茱萸（Cornus mas L.）的果实中获得创新的多功能植物提取物。在提取过程中，水、甘油和植物油的混合物被用作提取剂。使用这种溶剂混合物使我们能够提取各种活性物质，它们既溶于水又溶于油。对所得提取物进行了理化和生化性质分析，以便将提取物应用于身体营养乳液中。结果清楚地表明，这种提取物可能是化妆品行业中一种创新的多功能原料。
