Retinol, one of the top, synthetic anti-aging remedies available, is infamous for not only providing a more youthful aesthetic, but also for increasing skin sensitivity, especially in the presence of UV light. Vigna Acontifolia, or Moth Bean, an annual trailing herb, native to south Asia, is also known to help boost cellular renewal and reveal a fresh, radiant complexion. With this in mind, formulators have used Vigna Acontifolia Seed Extract to produce FSS Vigna Aconitifolia Extract PF as a natural, botanical alternative to retinol.

Popular because of its ability to reprogram cells, retinol helps enhance collagen production and aid in the thickening of the epidermis once absorbed into the skin. Retinol also prevents the formation of pyrimidine dimers caused by UV exposure. This makes it excellent for applications designed to repair UV-induced DNA damage through encouraging cellular renewal, thus revealing a more youthful appearance.

As mentioned, formulators have found several drawbacks when using Retinol in cosmetic formulations. The compound is unstable and has been shown irritate sensitive skin. In contrast, Vigna Acontifolia Seed Extract has a demonstrated ability to help boost cell renewal, similar to retinol, without the associated irritation. With high tolerance and stability in cosmetic formulations, Vigna Acontifolia Seed Extract not only accelerates cell turnover, it also provides anti-wrinkle benefits to reveal a refreshed and youthful complexion. When used at similar levels in cosmetic applications, the extract itself has demonstrated efficacy comparable to that of Retinol. Additionally, the constituents of phenolic compounds, such as caffeic acid, ferulic acid, cinnamic acid, and kaempefrol, provide Vigna Acontifolia Seed Extract with potent antioxidant properties. The extract is excellent in providing protection from free radical damage while promoting anti-aging benefits when it is used in skin care formulations specifically aimed to enhance the appearance of the skin.

FSS Vigna Aconitifolia Extract PF, a botanical alternative to retinol, should be incorporated into the aqueous phase of formulations and will not cause stability issues which are often encountered when working with Retinol. Achieve greater marketability by using a product associated with collagen stimulation, epidermal cellular renewal and less skin sensitivity by using FSS Vigna Aconitifolia Extract PF in formulations specifically created for anti-aging skin care applications.
