NEPHTHEA COLUMNARIS EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

Nephthea Columnaris Extract, sourced from a soft coral, contains unique steroidal and terpenoid compounds. Preliminary scientific investigation suggests its potential to modulate inflammatory responses and support skin integrity, positioning it as a promising ingredient for advanced skincare formulations.

Summary

Anti-inflammatory Antioxidant Anti-aging Skin-conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions by inhibiting key inflammatory mediators. Specifically, Sterol 3 from Nephthea columnaris has been shown to suppress the production of superoxide anions and inhibit elastase secretion by human neutrophils, which are crucial processes in inflammation and the degradation of extracellular matrix components. Additionally, extracts from the related genus Nephthea sp. have demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity through the inhibition of both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.
