Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract functions as a prebiotic that guides the skin's microbiota to produce a postbiotic cocktail, which in turn stimulates keratinocytes to synthesize oxytocin. This 'happiness molecule' communicates with sensory neurons to activate the brain's pleasure centers while simultaneously upregulating NRF2 antioxidant defenses and suppressing NF-κB-driven inflammatory pathways.

Key findings
- 01 At 1% concentration, 88% of users observed a visible reduction in wrinkles, with surface area decreasing by up to 44% over 28 days.
- 02 A 2% concentration demonstrated significant 'neuro-well-being' effects, with volunteers reporting increased confidence and relaxation via the Microbiota-Skin-Brain Axis.
- 03 A 3% concentration achieved a 94% improvement in skin firmness and a 95% acceleration in cellular renewal cycles.
- 04 In-vitro analysis confirmed significant antioxidant scavenging (19.39% DPPH) and suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8.

Dusting Analysis
Because it is a high-tech 'story' ingredient associated with cannabis, brands often include it at trace amounts (below 1%) to claim the benefits of neuro-cosmetics without providing the 1-3% required for the clinically proven oxytocin-stimulating effects.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Highly versatile and stable across a broad pH spectrum. To maintain the integrity of the lysate's bioactivity, it must be incorporated during the cool-down phase at temperatures below 40°C.
