DIPTERYX ALATA SHELL POWDER.

Insufficient Data / ANTIOXIDANT

Dipteryx alata Shell Powder is derived from the outer covering of the Dipteryx alata fruit, known for its phenolic compound content. While other extracts from the Dipteryx alata plant exhibit promising biological activities, specific cosmetic efficacy and comprehensive safety data for this powdered shell form are currently limited.

Summary

Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Regenerative

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient is rich in phenolic compounds, which are generally associated with antioxidant properties. Research on other fractions of the Dipteryx alata fruit, specifically nut and endocarp extracts, demonstrates potent intracellular antioxidant activity. These extracts also exhibit anti-inflammatory effects, with endocarp extract showing a selective anti-inflammatory index of 4.8, and regenerative capacities, observed as up to a 28.45% increase in 3D viability for nut extracts. However, these specific benefits have not been directly established for the shell powder itself.

Dusting Analysis

Despite promising biological activities observed in extracts from other parts of the Dipteryx alata plant, there is a significant lack of specific efficacy data for the shell powder in cosmetic applications. Its 'No Reported Uses' status by the FDA, coupled with the absence of specific studies on its skin benefits, suggests its inclusion in formulations might currently lean towards novelty or as a textural component rather than substantiated dermatological efficacy.

No specific optimal pH range for the stability of Dipteryx alata shell powder has been found. The shell primarily consists of dietary fiber, indicating general physical stability.

Safety

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

Dipteryx alata Shell Powder is listed under 'No Reported Uses' by the FDA's Voluntary Cosmetics Reporting Program. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) indicates that for ingredients with no reported uses, no further action is needed, but specific data would be anticipated to support safety if used in the future. Studies on bark extracts of Dipteryx alata have shown cytotoxic potential with an IC50 of 0.16 mg/ml in CHO-K1 cells. Additionally, coumarins, present in related species like Dipteryx odorata, are known to cause toxic effects. Specific safety data for Dipteryx alata shell powder in cosmetic applications is not readily available, warranting caution.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While other Dipteryx alata extracts show potential for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative benefits, there is insufficient specific efficacy and safety data for Dipteryx alata Shell Powder to confidently recommend its use in precision skincare.
