Science & Benefits

Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract contains protoberberines (like palmatine) that act as biological regulators of the sebaceous gland. It specifically targets the 5-alpha reductase enzyme to reduce sebum flow at the source. As a humectant, it hydrates the pore lining to prevent 'hyperkeratosis'—the sticky buildup of cells that leads to clogs. It is completely non-comedogenic and is typically paired with Oleanolic Acid (Procapil) for maximum efficacy. It is a logical 'gold standard' for oily skin, providing hydration while actively shrinking the appearance of enlarged, overactive pores.
