Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through a triple-action pathway: first, it triggers 'senolysis' by stimulating CXCL9 proteins to recruit immune cells that clear aged fibroblasts; second, it inhibits melanin production via natural arbutin and soybean aglycones; and third, it synthesizes polyglutamic acid (PGA) to reinforce the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) of the skin barrier.

Key findings
- 01 2024 Shiseido R&D study demonstrating the recruitment of CD4 CTL immune cells to eliminate senescent cells via CXCL9 protein expression.
- 02 Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry analysis showing successful conversion of glycoside isoflavones into potent aglycones for superior tyrosinase inhibition.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Due to its complex fermentation process and high cost, this ingredient is often used at 'label claim' concentrations below 0.5%; however, a minimum of 1% is required to initiate the senolytic and brightening biological responses.
