As a powerful superfood, watercress is known for its rich content of antioxidants. This new superfood will help press pause on aging and simultaneously reduce DNA damage.
FSS Watercress Extract SF
With FSS Watercress Extract SF being standardized for 0.5 - 2.0% maximum Vitamin C, this ingredient is able to topically enhance anitoxidant properties of the skin. As research has shown, antioxidants are able to combat the premature aging effects caused by ROS, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. However, there is much more to this ingredient than just Vitamin C benefits. By also being able to increase intracellular calcium, allowing for keratinocyte proliferation, differentation, and migration, FSS Watercress Extract SF also aids in providing the skin with a calcium homeostatic environment. This allows for skin barrier integrity and homeostasis.
The ability of FSS Watercress Extract SF to exhibit anti-inflammatory benefits also slows the aging process down by preventing the breakdown of collagen and soothing inflammatory responses. It is the perfect ingredient for formulators to add to a wide variety of skin care applications, providing the consumer with naturally derived anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits.
