Science & Benefits
Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract is a staple of Traditional Chinese Medicine, prized for its exceptionally high concentration of fructosans (polysaccharides). In modern skincare, these fructosans serve to reinforce the skin's barrier cohesion by stimulating the production of involucrin and loricrin—proteins essential for a healthy stratum corneum. This 'barrier-building' effect prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and makes the skin more resilient to external irritants. It is completely non-comedogenic and acts as a restorative humectant for acne-prone skin that has been thinned or sensitized by aggressive treatments.
