Science
Mechanism of Action
This complex functions through a dual-action pathway: it activates the Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) signaling pathway to delay cellular senescence while simultaneously stimulating the extracellular matrix. By breaking down botanical and protein fractions into bioavailable glycopeptides, it promotes Type I collagen synthesis and inhibits the enzymes responsible for photo-aging, effectively balancing skin hydration and inflammatory stress.

Key findings
- 01 Observed significant improvements in dermal elasticity and moisture levels, alongside a 27% decrease in oxidative stress markers via SIRT1 activation.
- 02 Demonstrated successful inhibition of MMP-1 (collagen-degrading enzymes) and a measurable increase in Type I collagen production.

Dusting Analysis
Due to its premium status and 'luxury' marketing appeal in Hanbang formulations, this ingredient is often included at sub-therapeutic levels (below 1%) purely for label claims. For meaningful anti-aging and regenerative results, concentrations of 2-5% are required.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
The complex contains thermolabile bio-active proteins; it must be incorporated during the cool-down phase of production at temperatures not exceeding 45°C to maintain efficacy.
Synergies
- Niacinamide
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Peptides
- Panthenol
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizers
- Extreme pH environments (<3.5 or >8.5)
- High-heat processing
Safety
Safety Profile
Contains Deer Antler extract; while highly regenerative, it is not a vegan-friendly ingredient.
