POLIANTHES TUBEROSA EXTRACT.

Questionable CAS 94334-35-7 / FILM FORMING, FRAGRANCE, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN PROTECTING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

Polianthes Tuberosa Extract, derived from the tuberose flower, serves primarily as a skin conditioning and protecting agent, contributing to hydration and offering antioxidant properties. While its unfermented form is noted for fragrance and foundational skin benefits, a precision-fermented variant demonstrates a broad spectrum of advanced dermatological activities.

Science

Mechanism of Action

The unfermented Polianthes Tuberosa Extract contains compounds like linalool and geraniol, which provide mild antioxidant activity and aid in maintaining skin hydration by forming a protective film. It also functions as a masking and viscosity-controlling agent. In its fermented form (FPT), mechanisms are significantly enhanced, encompassing robust neutralization of reactive oxygen species, inhibition of protein glycation and carbonylation, suppression of cellular senescence, reduction of matrix metalloproteinase-1 expression, and stimulation of type I collagen synthesis. FPT further inhibits melanogenesis by reducing melanin content and tyrosinase activity.

Dusting Analysis

Commonly dusted

While Polianthes Tuberosa Extract offers basic conditioning and aromatic properties, direct clinical studies supporting specific efficacy for the unfermented ingredient on human skin are lacking. This suggests its inclusion may frequently be for sensory appeal or marketing claims rather than active dermatological benefits, especially when not in its fermented form.
