Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient complex operates as a humectant, efficiently attracting and retaining moisture, thereby contributing to skin hydration and overall condition. Individual components within the blend offer targeted actions: Cimicifuga dahurica root extract provides antioxidant benefits. Platycodon grandiflorum exhibits both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, with its saponins demonstrated to alleviate atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions by suppressing NF-κB and STAT1 signaling, concurrently activating the Nrf2/ARE-mediated heme oxygenase-1 pathway. Pueraria lobata extract further contributes anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, stimulates collagen production, and helps maintain hyaluronic acid levels, collectively supporting anti-photoaging actions via the Nrf2 pathway.

Key findings

  1. 01 An in vitro study demonstrated that Pueraria montana var. lobata ethanol extract, a component of this blend, at concentrations between 0.0025% and 0.01% (equivalent to 25-100 μg/mL), significantly increased collagen production and reduced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in human dermal fibroblasts exposed to UVB-irradiation, effectively inhibiting photoaging processes.
