Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient operates through a complex network of secreted proteins, including hVEGF for vascular support, hKGF for epidermal proliferation, and bFGF for tissue regeneration. These growth factors bind to specific cell receptors, triggering signaling cascades that accelerate cell division, enhance nutrient delivery via improved microcirculation, and inhibit the pathways that lead to cell death in follicles and dermal tissue.
Research
Clinical Evidence
High confidence3.5%
Key findings
- 01 Clinical evaluation at 3.5% concentration demonstrated significant enhancement in the length and density of eyelashes and eyebrows by nourishing the hair root.
- 02 A 2.5% concentration study confirmed the extract's ability to revitalize hair follicles and support healthy regrowth through peptide synergy.
- 03 Research at 1.48% showed marked improvement in nail plate integrity and keratin structure repair for brittle or damaged nails.
Transparency
Dusting Analysis
Due to its high cost and biological complexity, this ingredient is frequently included at 'label claim' levels (under 0.5%). For genuine physiological benefits in hair or skin repair, concentrations should ideally exceed 1.48%.
The Formula
Formulation
Stability
Extremely thermosensitive; must be processed during the cold phase of manufacturing at temperatures below 40°C to preserve protein integrity.
Synergies
- Peptides
