Science
Mechanism of Action
It activates the skin's innate immune response through upregulation of TLR4 and psoriasin, offering anti-inflammatory effects and DNA protection. Additionally, its sulfated polysaccharides form a hydrating film, while amino acids enhance the Natural Moisturizing Factor.

Key findings
- 01 In vitro models demonstrate significant upregulation of innate immune proteins (TLR 4, psoriasin) and SOD, providing anti-inflammatory and soothing effects at 0.1%-1.0%.
- 02 In vivo fibrosis models showed reduced collagen deposition and extracellular matrix formation, suggesting potential for skin remodeling and anti-aging.

Formulation
Stability
Stable at room temperature, but heat sensitive above 70°C, which can degrade its polysaccharide structure. Incorporate during the cool-down phase for optimal integrity.
Conflicts
- Cationic surfactants
- High electrolyte/salt concentrations
