PORIA COCOS POLYSACCHARIDE.

This polysaccharide operates through multiple biological pathways to enhance skin health. It forms a protective layer, bolstering skin moisture retention and elasticity, thereby promoting natural regeneration and rejuvenation. Its antioxidant capabilities effectively neutralize free radicals, safeguarding the skin from environmental stressors and signs of aging. Significant anti-inflammatory effects help to soothe irritation and calm stressed skin. Research suggests its involvement in reducing under-eye puffiness and dark circles, as well as modulating sebum secretion beneficial for oily skin. Furthermore, it is believed to target key aging concerns such as sagging and deep wrinkles, potentially by influencing genetic expressions at the cellular level. Studies indicate its capacity to promote collagen accumulation and hyaluronic acid production, specifically by targeting TGFβ/Smad7 pathways and enhancing the Nrf2-antioxidant mechanism in human dermal fibroblasts. It also demonstrates antibacterial properties.
