INCI Name:
Ethyl Ximenynate, Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric triglyceride, Glycerin
Description
Active ingredient composed of Ethyl Ximeninate and encapsulated in lecithin vesicles with a patented encapsulation technology that allow a better delivery of the ingredient. Thanks to its vasoactive capabilities, it improves blood flow in superficial vessels, promoting the microcirculation in disordered skins (cellulitis, local fat accumulation, heavy legs). It also fosters actin production in fibroblasts, suggesting a role in dermal remodelling, and prevents local inflammations at prostaglandin level by preventing the formation of arachidonic acid.
Origin
Obtained by the encapsulation under high pressure homogenization of Ethyl Ximenynate into lipophilic vesicles constituted by Lecithin.
Applications
- Recommended for body care and scalp products.
Mechanism of Action
It decreases the metabolism of Arachidonic Acid preventing the cause of edema and the releasing of COX
Key features
- Arachidonic acid and skin microcirculation modulator
Usage Dosage
1-3%
Form
Gel
Efficacy tests
In vitro:
- Actina gene expression profile evaluation
- Nitric oxide production
In vivo:
- Study on the vasoactive effect
