Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions by directly influencing key physiological pathways associated with skin redness. It notably reduces capillary blood flow, thereby diminishing the visible signs of redness typical of conditions such as rosacea. Furthermore, it inhibits the release of specific pro-inflammatory cytokines, specifically LL-37 induced ones in human keratinocytes, which are implicated in inflammatory responses. As an anti-stress agent, it actively protects and provides comfort to stressed skin.

Key findings
- 01 A manufacturer-sponsored clinical study involving 11 participants demonstrated that applying 0.1% of the ingredient twice daily for 56 days visibly reduced skin redness and improved the signs of rosacea.
- 02 A clinical study on volunteers with mild rosacea confirmed a measurable reduction in capillary blood flow and a visible diminution of rosacea redness after 56 days of treatment.
- 03 Recommended use levels for anti-redness, anti-inflammatory, and anti-stress effects, particularly for rosacea skin, range between 0.05% and 0.1%.

The Formula
Formulation
Stability
This molecule exhibits greatly improved pH stability compared to the natural naringenin chalcone. Its water-solubility is strongly pH dependent, decreasing below pH 5.0. It is thermoresistant up to 60 °C for a short time and is compatible with homogenization processes. For optimal stability, products containing this ingredient should be shielded from light where possible.
