Viola Tricolor Extract

Science & Benefits

Viola Tricolor Extract is an 'active' humectant characterized by its ability to stimulate the synthesis of Aquaporins (specifically AQP3) in the skin. Aquaporins are proteins that form 'water channels' in cell membranes, facilitating the transport of moisture between skin cells. By improving the skin's internal irrigation, this extract ensures deep, cellular hydration that topical glycerin cannot replicate. It is also rich in mucilage and salicylic acid derivatives, which provide a soothing effect and mild texture refinement. It is entirely non-comedogenic and is a bulletproof choice for resolving surface dehydration without adding any lipid weight to the pores.
