LIRIOSMA OVATA WOOD EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data CAS 91770-18-2 / FRAGRANCE

Liriosma Ovata Wood Extract, also known as Muira Puama, is derived from a tree native to the Amazon. While traditionally valued for its purported systemic benefits, preliminary cosmetic research indicates its potential in enhancing skin luminance and improving the appearance of dark circles in the periorbital area.

Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Skin Brightening Tone Improvement Fragrance

Science

Mechanism of Action

When applied topically, Liriosma ovata wood extract is believed to function through its inherent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These mechanisms may help to protect skin cells from oxidative stress and mitigate inflammatory responses, contributing to a more even skin tone and improved clarity, particularly in delicate areas like the under-eye region.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not evaluated Liriosma ovata wood extract for topical safety. While oral intake of combination products containing this extract has been associated with mild transient gastrointestinal effects (e.g., bloating, dyspepsia, nausea) and occasional headaches, there is insufficient reliable information concerning its safety or potential side effects specifically for topical application. It has not been reviewed by the FDA for safety or efficacy as a dietary supplement.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While Liriosma ovata wood extract shows preliminary promise in improving periorbital skin tone via antioxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, the lack of specific, standalone topical clinical data, comprehensive safety assessments (CIR, FDA), and detailed skin compatibility insights necessitates further rigorous research for a definitive recommendation in precision skincare.
