Science
Mechanism of Action
The extract utilizes a high concentration of C-glycosidic ellagitannins, specifically Casuarinin and Stachyurin, to neutralize free radicals and protect dermal fibroblasts from oxidative damage. Furthermore, it modulates the skin's inflammatory response by reducing nitric oxide production, effectively targeting 'inflammaging' to preserve the skin's structural integrity.

Key findings
- 01 In vitro analysis confirms that the primary compound, Casuarinin, significantly inhibits pro-inflammatory mediators and provides robust antioxidant defense for dermal cells.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Because it is an exotic Australian botanical, it is frequently used at 'label claim' concentrations below 1%. To achieve the anti-inflammatory benefits demonstrated in phytochemical profiles, a concentration of at least 1-2% is required.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Highly stable in water-based systems. It is thermolabile and must be incorporated during the cool-down phase (below 40°C) to maintain the bioactivity of its phenolic compounds.
Synergies
