Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions as a pro-tolerance modulator by interacting with skin dendritic cells. It helps maintain healthy basal levels of the CD86 protein, which optimizes the skin's immune response and prevents the over-activation of sensitivity pathways when exposed to external stressors.

Key findings
- 01 In a double-blind clinical trial involving 31 participants, a 2% formulation reduced cutaneous discomfort by 62% over 21 days.
- 02 Stinging test scores demonstrated a 20% reduction in sensitivity on treated skin, outperforming industry benchmarks by approximately 43%.

Dusting Analysis
Because it is an expensive, patented active (often supplied as Symbiocell™), it is frequently included at 'label claim' percentages below 1%. For clinical results in reactive skin, a minimum of 1-2% is required.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Thermolabile; must be incorporated into the aqueous phase or during the cooling phase at temperatures below 40°C.
Synergies
