Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract acts as a potent antioxidant, effectively neutralizing free radicals to prevent oxidative damage. It accelerates tissue repair by promoting collagen synthesis, increasing both collagen and protein content, and reducing lipid peroxidation. Its anti-inflammatory qualities reduce redness and irritation, providing a cooling effect. Furthermore, Cynodon Dactylon Extract exhibits antibacterial and antimicrobial activity against various pathogens, including *E. coli* and *P. aeruginosa*, and possesses astringent qualities that aid in pore refinement and skin toning, while also minimizing scarring and restoring natural skin texture and color.

Key findings

  1. 01 An ointment containing 15% extract demonstrated wound healing efficacy comparable to framycetin in full-thickness punch wounds in Wistar rats. A pilot clinical study in elderly patients with chronic wounds also showed significant wound contraction, development of granulation and epithelial tissues, leading to successful healing.
  2. 02 Extracts at 7.5% and 10% concentrations exhibited significant potential for enhanced wound healing, with effectiveness comparable to standard treatments like povidone-iodine.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

While a face cleanser containing this extract reported very few side effects and suitability for all skin types, and a skin irritation test on treated fabric showed negligible acute dermal irritation, specific regulatory statuses from CIR, SCCS, or FDA are lacking. Some concerns regarding potential allergenicity have been noted, highlighting the need for further research before widespread inclusion in standard skincare products.
