HYDROLYZED CYCLIZED (GASTRODIA ELATA ROOT/STEM EXTRACT/AMYLODEXTRIN)

Description

Hydrolyzed Cyclized (Gastrodia Elata Root/Stem Extract/Amylodextrin) is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the Gastrodia elata plant, commonly known as Tian Ma in traditional Chinese medicine. This complex compound combines the bioactive properties of Gastrodia elata extract with the structural benefits of amylodextrin through a hydrolysis and cyclization process.

The ingredient exhibits potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors and reduce signs of irritation. It has been shown to inhibit melanin production, potentially aiding in the reduction of hyperpigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone. The cyclized structure enhances the stability and bioavailability of the active compounds, allowing for improved penetration and efficacy.

Additionally, this ingredient demonstrates moisturizing capabilities, helping to maintain skin hydration and improve overall skin texture. Its ability to modulate neurotransmitter activity may contribute to a soothing effect on the skin, potentially reducing sensitivity and reactivity. Clinical studies have indicated its potential in addressing various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture, making it a versatile component in advanced skincare formulations.
