Epilobium Roseum Extract, derived from the Willowherb plant, is a botanical ingredient recognized for its potential to calm and protect the skin. It exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties, making it a versatile component for various skincare formulations.

Summary

Anti-inflammatory Antioxidant Antibacterial Soothing Sebum regulation

Science

Mechanism of Action

The extract operates through several biological pathways, primarily attributed to active compounds such as polyphenols and oenothein B. It helps reduce inflammation by inhibiting lipoxygenase activity and offers protection against oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. Additionally, it demonstrates antimicrobial properties and can contribute to sebum regulation through the inhibition of 5-α-reductase, while also mitigating irritation caused by other active ingredients.
