Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions by activating specific growth factors responsible for the production of elastic fibers and skin-structuring proteins. By doubling keratinocyte protein synthesis and providing a rich profile of carotenoids and polyphenols, it reinforces the cutaneous matrix and provides a biological shield against environmental oxidative stress.
Research
Clinical Evidence
High confidence1%
Key findings
- 01 In vivo testing at a 1% concentration demonstrated a 9% increase in skin elasticity after 10 days, reaching a 20% increase by day 20.
- 02 In vitro analysis confirmed that a 1% concentration results in a 100% increase in cellular protein content within 24 hours of application.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Because clinical results are specifically benchmarked at a 1% concentration, formulations containing less than this amount may be 'dusting' the ingredient for marketing purposes without delivering the documented 20% elasticity boost.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Heat-sensitive; must be incorporated during the cool-down phase below 40°C. For optimal preservative efficacy within the raw material, a pH below 5.5 is preferred.
Synergies
- L-Ascorbic Acid
- Peptides
- Hyaluronic Acid
Conflicts
- Strong oxidizing agents
- High-temperature processing (>40°C)
