Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates by upregulating the expression of bitter taste receptors (TAS2R), specifically TAS2R38, within skin cells. The activation of TAS2R38 is directly linked to an enhancement in the skin's barrier integrity, which subsequently improves protection and detoxification capabilities.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not conducted a specific safety assessment for Marsdenia Cundurango Root Extract, meaning comprehensive dermal, oral, or inhalation toxicity data is currently undetermined. While traditional medicinal accounts of Condurango bark mention it as 'slightly irritating,' this is not a cosmetic-specific safety evaluation. Current assessments by third-party databases also indicate an unrated status, suggesting a need for more extensive research for cosmetic application safety.
