Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract works through several pathways: it inhibits melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity via alkaloid components, leading to skin brightening. Its antioxidant properties combat oxidative stress from free radicals, supporting anti-aging efforts. As a humectant, it draws and retains moisture, enhancing skin hydration. It also exhibits antimicrobial action against harmful microorganisms, helps prevent acne, and contains tannins for an astringent effect, aiding skin cleansing. Furthermore, it possesses anti-inflammatory and soothing capabilities.

Sensitization risk Low

The CIR Expert Panel found data insufficient to determine safety for cosmetic use, specifically requesting 28-day dermal toxicity and UV absorption data. While generally uncommon, potential side effects include irritation or allergic reactions. However, Human Repeated Insult Patch Tests (HRIPTs) conducted with the extract at a high concentration of 97% in pentylene glycol reported no irritation or sensitization.
