Science

Mechanism of Action

As a surfactant, GLEDITSIA FERA POD EXTRACT effectively reduces the surface tension of liquids, facilitating the mixing of oil and water and aiding in the removal of impurities from skin and hair. Its rich phenol content provides antioxidant benefits. The extract also contains galactomannans, which function as hair and skin conditioning agents, and can contribute to formulation thickening and stabilization. Some Gleditsia extracts, particularly those containing triacanthine, have been shown to induce a lipolytic effect in cultured human adipocytes by increasing glycerol liberation. Related Gleditsia species further support skin moisturization and barrier strengthening.
