Details
Properties
Anti-inflammatory: Diminish redness and the skin's inflammatory response by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators and suppressing angiogenesis;
Antioxidant: Restricting oxidative stress and oxidation reactions involved in premature skin ageing and the formation of glycation end products (AGE) by upregulating the expression of genes coding for antioxidant enzymes;
Draining: Reducing the volume of oedemas by limiting fluid retention through the activation of lymphatic vessels;
Lifting: Smoothing and plumping the skin by strengthening the structure of the dermis and limiting the deterioration of the extracellular matrix through the stimulation of collagen I synthesis by dermal fibroblasts;
Firming: Limiting the loss of elasticity by protecting the network of elastic fibres from degradation.
Usage
Facial Care (eye contour treatments, micellar waters, cleansing milks, moisturising creams);
Haircare (shampoos) ;
Makeups (foundations).
Method of Preservation
Store in a dry place, protected from light and moisture, at room temperature between 15°C and 25°C.
Contraindications, Usage Precautions
The extract of yellow gentian roots appears to be safe when applied topically in small amounts, and well tolerated by all skin types.
