Science
Mechanism of Action
Acting as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, it protects skin from stressors. The extract stimulates essential lipid synthesis (e.g., ceramides, sphingomyelin) and boosts adipogenesis, leading to increased hydration and firmness, further optimizing sebum production and improving its quality.

Key findings
- 01 2% topical application improved skin hydration by +28.5% and lipid conformation by +39.6% after 28 days.
- 02 1% increased neutral lipid content from skin explants by +29.6% and stimulated the synthesis of sphingomyelin (+42%), phosphoglycerides (+38%), and ceramides/cerebrosides (+32%) in reconstructed human epidermis.
- 03 2% application increased sebum production on the forehead by +99% and cheek by +78% after 28 days, reactivating sebum production. Studies also showed a 31% sebum increase in sebocytes with improved lipid composition (lauric acid +42%, sapienic acid +43%).
- 04 Promoted adipogenesis and lipogenesis, resulting clinically in improved skin plumpness, reduced signs of fatigue, and a measurable decrease in wrinkle depth.
