Basil (Ocimum basilicum, Lamiaceae) is used in cosmetics as a flower and leaf extract, classed by CosIng as an antioxidant and a skin and hair conditioning agent1. Rosmarinic acid is a major antioxidant in it5. Cosmetic studies are laboratory studies, with no clinical trial on the extract67.
Entry from our cosmetic ingredient glossary. Data from the European Commission's CosIng database12 and from consolidated Regulation (EC) No 1223/20093. The Carmel glossary lists the INCI name of an extract; the catalog also uses a powder, whose INCI name must be verified.
Each result shows the protocol and the level of evidence. The higher the level, the better the result carries over to a finished formula.
The chemotype strongly influences the composition of the oil. Estragole, absent from the Genovese and purple types, appears in the Napoletano type. Eugenol, methyleugenol and linalool are abundant in most cultivars. The cultivars tested show moderate antibacterial activity4.
The most active fraction is identified as rosmarinic acid, of which one molecule scavenges 1.52 radicals. A synergy with α-tocopherol is shown5.
The leaf extract inhibits 89% in the antioxidant test, against 95% for the reference. It induces no notable cytotoxicity on the normal skin cell lines tested. Erythema values decrease after application on human skin; the abstract does not detail the protocol6.
The extract and rosmarinic acid reduce reactive oxygen species and carbonylated proteins, and restore type I collagen synthesis and the number of collagen fibers in irradiated fibroblasts7.
The review reports antioxidant, antimicrobial, moisturizing and protective effects attributed to flavonoids, phenolic acids and terpenes. Its abstract gives no figure from a clinical trial8.
Concordant results are most frequent with ginger (7 participants), nutmeg (5) and oregano (4). Basil is not among them and gives no isolated reaction at 25%9.
A 2010 publication describes a case of occupational contact allergy to basil10. An isolated case: it gives no frequency.
This page summarizes published literature on a cosmetic ingredient. It does not describe the effect of a finished product, which depends on its formula, and it is not medical advice. Evidence is flagged by level: clinical trial, review or laboratory.
Our white label catalog includes 2 formulas with basil, always as a supporting ingredient. Every category can be customized (formula, fragrance, packaging).
Plant powder of the traditional argan oil soap, and supporting extract of a dry rosemary salt scrub.
