skin conditioning perfuming antioxidant antibacterial humectant toning

Science

Mechanism of Action

This botanical extract operates through multiple pathways to enhance skin health. Its rich profile of polyphenols, ascorbic acid, flavonoids, and tannins delivers robust antioxidant protection against free radical damage and signs of aging. Polysaccharides within the extract function as humectants, drawing moisture into the skin to improve hydration and elasticity. Additionally, it exhibits antibacterial properties that may assist in managing acne and inflammation, and possesses the ability to gently cleanse, tone, and minimize pore clogging by balancing sebum. In vitro data suggests potential for stimulating keratinocyte proliferation and influencing collagen type I and matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) production.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has determined that available data are insufficient to conclude on the safety of Juniperus Communis Fruit Extract for cosmetic use, requesting further information. While clinical tests on Juniperus communis *oils* showed no dermal irritation or sensitization, data specific to the *extract* are lacking for a comprehensive safety assessment. It is important to note that large oral doses of the extract have been associated with effects on fertility and fetal deaths in albino rats, though this pertains to internal consumption, not topical application. Juniperus communis berry *oil* is classified as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use.
