Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates by vitalizing and safeguarding dermal stem cells, enhancing their natural regenerative abilities. It actively stimulates fibroblast activity, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which in turn improves skin firmness and density. Furthermore, its rich composition of phenolic compounds provides potent antioxidant protection against oxidative stress, while triterpenoids contribute anti-inflammatory benefits. Essential fatty acids like oleic and linoleic acids support skin hydration and barrier repair, and the ingredient also influences cellular energy metabolism and autophagy for overall skin health.

Key findings

  1. 01 In clinical trials, a 0.4% concentration demonstrated a 5.5% improvement in dermal tissue density after 28 days, escalating to 12.7% after 56 days.
  2. 02 The same 0.4% concentration notably reduced crow's feet wrinkle depth by 19% after 28 days and a significant 26% after 56 days.
  3. 03 In vitro studies at 0.1% showcased enhanced Sox2 expression in dermal papilla cells, indicating vitalization of dermal stem cells.
  4. 04 A concentration range of 0.025% to 1% was observed to boost fibroblast proliferation, optimize cellular homeostasis, and reduce inflammation and senescence markers in aged fibroblasts in vitro, without cytotoxic effects.
