Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract stimulates key anchorage proteins, Collagen VII and XVII, at the dermo-epidermal junction (DEJ) for improved structural integrity. It also boosts cellular antioxidant defenses and mitochondrial energy production, essential for epidermal renewal.

Key findings
- 01 A bio-fermented extract (0.1-1.0%) significantly improved DEJ rigidity and epidermal renewal in 3D skin models by enhancing anchorage protein synthesis.
- 02 A two-center clinical study showed a 'global rejuvenation effect' on pigmentation, redness, and fine lines, comparable to IPL therapy.
- 03 DNA chip analysis revealed strong modulation of gene expression in human keratinocytes, specifically regulating antioxidant defenses and DEJ components.
