FORSYTHIA VIRIDISSIMA FRUIT/(ACTAEA DAHURICA/GLYCYRRHIZA GLABRA/PAEONIA LACTIFLORA/PLATYCODON GRANDIFLORUS/PUERARIA MONTANA) ROOT EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

This botanical complex acts as a skin-conditioning agent and humectant, offering a multi-faceted approach to skin health. It combines the notable antioxidant and anti-aging properties of Forsythia viridissima with the potential soothing, anti-inflammatory, and skin barrier-supporting effects of other traditional root extracts.

Science

Mechanism of Action

The ingredient functions by contributing multiple benefits to the skin. Forsythia viridissima fruit extract demonstrates potent antioxidant activity, effectively scavenging radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS). This action supports skin anti-aging through enhancing type I procollagen expression and inhibiting UVA-induced matrix metalloproteinase-1. Other constituents, such as Paeonia lactiflora, are recognized for their potential to inhibit melanin synthesis, provide further antioxidant effects, modulate inflammatory pathways, and contribute to a healthier skin barrier. Platycodon grandiflorum roots also exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy properties.

Key findings

  1. 01 A matairesinol-rich extract from Forsythia viridissima L. displayed significant scavenging activity against radicals and reactive oxygen species, with an IC50 value of 4.50 µg/ml. This activity contributed to anti-aging effects by stimulating type I procollagen expression and inhibiting UVA-induced matrix metalloproteinase-1 in human dermal fibroblasts.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not assessed this specific ingredient blend. While the ingredient, including a synonym for Actaea dahurica root, is functionally recognized as a humectant and skin conditioner, comprehensive dermal toxicity data for the full blend is not available. An acute oral toxicity test for an aqueous extract of Forsythia viridissima fruits showed no acute toxicity in rats at a single dose of 5000 mg/kg. The blend is recommended 'not for fragrance use' and 'not for flavor use', and is found as an inactive component in some topical products listed on DailyMed.
