Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through a dual-action pathway: it activates the NRF2 signaling system to amplify the skin's endogenous antioxidant library while simultaneously upregulating filaggrin expression. This strengthens the corneal layer's barrier function and accelerates cellular migration to facilitate efficient tissue repair.

Clinical Evidence
High confidence5%
Key findings
- 01 Achieved a Skin Irritation Index of 0.00–0.75, confirming zero-irritation status while significantly enhancing keratinocyte wound healing and barrier protein synthesis.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
While often included for marketing 'stem cell' claims at negligible levels, clinical efficacy in barrier support and antioxidant protection requires a minimum concentration of 1.0%.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Thermolabile; must be incorporated during the cool-down phase (under 40°C) to prevent the degradation of heat-sensitive polyphenols. Store away from UV exposure.
Synergies
- Ceramides
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Vitamin E
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- High alkaline environments (> pH 8.0)
