Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through 'secretome' signaling, stimulating adipose-derived stem cells to increase the production of growth factors like TGF-β1. These signals trigger dermal fibroblasts to accelerate the synthesis of Collagen I (+53%) and Elastin (+81%), effectively repairing the extracellular matrix from the inside out.

Key findings
- 01 Observed a 17% increase in skin firmness and 10% increase in elasticity over a 56-day period.
- 02 Demonstrated a specialized eyelid lifting effect of up to 10%, creating a more 'open-eyed' aesthetic.
- 03 Achieved a 15% reduction in total wrinkle count alongside a visible refining of the jawline contour.

Dusting Analysis
Due to the high cost of orchid stem cell technology, many brands include this at 'label-claim' levels (below 0.5%). However, clinical data confirms that a 2% concentration is required to achieve the documented lifting and growth factor stimulation.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
The extract is highly stable in aqueous solutions but is thermolabile; it must be incorporated during the cooling phase of production (below 40°C) to maintain the integrity of its bio-active components.
Synergies
- Peptides
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Retinoids
Conflicts
