Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract reduces excessive skin sensitivity by mitigating the overproduction of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and activity of the TRPV1 receptor. It strengthens the skin's natural defenses by promoting epidermal thickening and enhancing stratum corneum barrier function. Furthermore, it contributes to anti-aging by upregulating BMP-1, thereby promoting collagen production and inhibiting elastase activity. It also functions as an antioxidant, inhibits tyrosinase for improved tone, and possesses soothing, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

Key findings

  1. 01 At concentrations between 0.00015% and 1.5% (dry residue), the extract effectively prevents and corrects skin hypersensitivity by reducing Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and TRPV1, concurrently improving epidermal thickness and stratum corneum barrier function.
  2. 02 A 0.005% concentration (0.05 g/L) was shown to significantly stimulate the production of BMP-1 from dermal fibroblasts, indicating a robust promotion of collagen functionality and visible anti-aging effects.
