Summary

Anti-aging Skin Conditioning Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Dark Spot Fading Firming Elasticity Enhancer

Science

Mechanism of Action

The primary active compound, spilanthol, modulates nerve receptors on the skin's surface, effectively impeding facial muscle contractions that contribute to the formation of wrinkles and expression lines. Beyond its myorelaxant effects, the extract is rich in antioxidant polyphenols like gallic acid, offering protection against environmental damage. It further supports skin structure by stimulating fibroblast biomechanical functions, leading to improved firmness and elasticity, while also providing skin conditioning, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits.
