Research Activity

The Paolo Rovesti Institute has developed a number of basic research activities investigating the properties of plants ingredients for applications in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and veterinary field. A summary of the current studies is listed below.

Companies interested to develop the productive and commercial aspects of these studies can contact the ROVESTI SAS (rovesti@rovesti.it).

Inflammation

Identification of plants with anti-inflammatory activity. Water extracts from leaves of plants originating from Africa and Asia are currently studied for possible synergies. Investigation of anti-nociception and anti-pyretic properties are also studied.

Skin Aging

Identification of active ingredients with anti-oxidant properties, metalloprotease inhibitors and with signalling transduction activity on the TGF-beta/Smad pathway. Terpenes of natural origin are investigated.

Parasites/Bacteria

Identification of natural ingredients with anti-parasites and anti-bacteria activity. Synergies of oils derived from seeds of plants from Africa and Asia are investigated.

Micro-circulation

Complexes of natural ingredients are investigated for their properties on the re-absorption of the lymphatic circulation and decrease of the capillary permeability.

Natural Cosmetics

Formulations with bio-compatible preservatives, fragrances and colours; integral vegetal actives without solvents.
