Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract targets the synthesis of Tenascin-X, a crucial glycoprotein that acts as a scaffold for organizing collagen and elastin fibers. By increasing the production of Collagen I and XVII while enhancing the contractile force of fibroblasts, it reinforces the skin's internal 'biomechanical' tension to improve elasticity.

Key findings
- 01 Clinical testing at 0.6% concentration demonstrated an immediate flash-lifting effect and significant long-term reduction in wrinkle depth.
- 02 A six-month study utilizing a 1-2% concentration showed a 60% improvement in dermal firmness and a 40% visible reduction in fine lines.

Dusting Analysis
Because this extract offers immediate 'flash-lifting' perception even at lower concentrations, brands often include it at 'label-claim' levels (below 0.1%) where the long-term structural remodeling and collagen-boosting benefits are lost.

Stability
The extract remains highly stable in water-based formulas and glycerin solutions; should be stored away from UV light to maintain bioactive potency.
