Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil is the fixed oil obtained from the seeds of the Dwarf Bedder that acts as a UVB-induced inflammatory response moderator. It is also known under the trade name Crossential SA-14.
With Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil, formulators have a proven means of protecting skin from UV-induced inflammation. It contains Stearidonic Acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid known to have anti-inflammatory action.
In-vitro studies indicate that Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil may lessen the skin’s inflammatory response to UV radiation by inhibiting the release of PGE2 and TNFa. These inflammatory metabolites are products of the Arachidonic Acid Cascade, a reaction initiated by exposure to UV radiation.
