(CODONOPSIS TANGSHEN/DIOSCOREA JAPONICA) ROOT/ATRACTYLODES JAPONICA RHIZOME/PORIA COCOS/(DOLICHOS LABLAB/COIX LACRYMA-JOBI MA-YUEN/EURYALE FEROX/NELUMBO NUCIFERA) SEED EXTRACT

Description

This complex botanical extract blend combines several traditional Asian medicinal plants known for their potential skin benefits. Codonopsis tangshen and Dioscorea japonica root extracts contain saponins and polysaccharides that may offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Atractylodes japonica rhizome extract is rich in sesquiterpenes and polyacetylenes, which could contribute to skin-soothing effects. Poria cocos, a fungus used in traditional medicine, contains triterpenes and polysaccharides that may support skin barrier function and hydration.

The seed extracts in this blend offer complementary benefits: Dolichos lablab (hyacinth bean) is high in flavonoids and phenolic compounds with potential antioxidant activity. Coix lacryma-jobi ma-yuen (Job's tears) contains coixenolide, which may have skin-brightening properties. Euryale ferox (fox nut) is rich in antioxidants and may help improve skin elasticity. Nelumbo nucifera (lotus) seed extract contains alkaloids and flavonoids that could provide anti-aging and skin-protective effects.

This multi-component extract blend aims to harness the synergistic effects of these botanicals to potentially improve skin hydration, barrier function, and overall appearance while providing antioxidant protection.
