[0002] Bee balm extract is derived from the whole herb of Melissa officinalis, a perennial herb in the Lamiaceae family. Also known as lemon balm and lemongrass, it has upright stems, oval leaves, green calyxes, and a fragrant aroma. Native to the Mediterranean coast, it is now widely distributed in Europe, Central Asia, North America, and Asia, with France being the primary producer. Its active ingredients primarily include flavonoids (such as rosmarinic acid, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid), volatile oils (primarily citral, citronellal, and β-caryophyllene), and phenolic acids (such as ferulic acid). It exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, sedative, digestive, anti-fatigue, and immune-boosting properties, and is used to alleviate symptoms of chronic bronchitis, colds, fevers, and headaches.
[0003] Mannitol is a six-carbon sugar alcohol found widely in plants such as kelp and mushrooms. It can also be produced through chemical synthesis. Mannitol has moisturizing, antioxidant, soothing, high permeability, low calorie content, and no toxic side effects. It is widely used in medicine, food, cosmetics, and health supplements.
