POTENTILLA ANSERINA EXTRACT.

Valuable CAS 85085-65-0 / SKIN CONDITIONING

Potentilla Anserina Extract is a botanical powerhouse for precision skincare, clinically proven to enhance skin hydration and fortify the skin's natural barrier. It provides significant skin-soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits by reducing redness and mitigating factors associated with itching, making it ideal for sensitive and compromised skin conditions.

Summary

Skin-soothing Antioxidant Hydrating Barrier-fortifying Anti-inflammatory Antimicrobial Skin conditioning Potentially anti-pigmentation

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates by increasing Aquaporin-3 (AQP3) expression, thereby enhancing water transport and overall skin hydration. It fortifies the skin barrier through increased Filaggrin (FLG) expression and exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the expression of itching-related cytokines (TSLP, IL-33, IL-4). Rich in bioactive compounds such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, saponins, and triterpenoids, it also delivers antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antibacterial activities. A patent suggests it may also offer skin lightening and anti-pigmentation benefits by inhibiting tyrosinase.
