LOLIUM PERENNE LEAF EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data CAS 90063-63-1 / PERFUMING

Lolium Perenne Leaf Extract is derived from perennial ryegrass, a botanical source rich in phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and proteins. These components contribute to its notable in vitro antioxidant capacity, positioning it as a potential asset for skin protection.

Summary

Antioxidant Fragrance agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

The primary mechanism of Lolium Perenne Leaf Extract involves its antioxidant activity, attributed to its content of phenolic compounds like chlorogenic acid and various flavonoids. These molecules neutralize free radicals, mitigating oxidative stress. Additionally, proteins such as RuBisCO within the extract have demonstrated antioxidant effects in laboratory settings. While direct human skin studies are lacking, broader patent claims suggest its potential to reduce oxidative damage, inhibit lipoxygenase to modulate sebum production, and suppress MMP-1 activity, which could theoretically support skin structure and reduce the appearance of aging.
