ABIES VEITCHII LEAF EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / ASTRINGENT, HUMECTANT

A botanical extract derived from Veitch's silver fir leaves, containing bioactive triterpenoids, lignans, and flavonoids. This multifunctional ingredient demonstrates dual-action properties as both an astringent for pore refinement and a humectant for moisture retention. Research indicates promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential, though clinical validation in human skincare applications remains limited.

Summary

astringent humectant

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functions through its complex phytochemical profile, with triterpenoids suppressing reactive oxygen species and inhibiting inflammatory MAPK signaling pathways while reducing AP-1-mediated inflammatory gene expression. Simultaneously provides astringent effects through tannin-like compounds that temporarily tighten skin tissues and humectant properties that enhance water binding capacity.
