ALISMA ORIENTALE EXTRACT.

This extract operates through several key mechanisms to promote skin health. It acts as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals, thereby mitigating oxidative stress from environmental aggressors like pollution and UV radiation, which helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines. Its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic effects are attributed to active constituents, alisol B and alisol B 23-acetate, which inhibit 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX)-catalyzed leukotriene (LT) production and β-hexosaminidase release in allergic responses. Additionally, it can reduce nitrite accumulation in LPS-activated macrophages, further underscoring its anti-inflammatory capacity. Beyond soothing, Alisma Orientale Extract helps regulate sebum production, reducing unwanted shine, and contributes to a brighter complexion. In cellular models, a 70% ethanol extract has also shown to inhibit lipid droplet formation and adipocyte differentiation by downregulating peroxisome proliferation-activity receptor γ (PPARγ).
