Pelvetia Canaliculata Extract is a seaweed extract in which two cytokinins have been identified (Indole-3 acetic acid and benzylaminopurine). Those cytokinins are vegetable growth hormones. They are essential antioxidant growth factors that delay the aging of vegetable cells in plants and have similar effects on human skin cells.
Pelvetia Canaliculata Extract regenerates epidermal skin cells or keratinocytes and promotes fibroblast proliferation. It improves collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid synthesis, effectively delaying skin cell aging.
In addition, Pelvetia Canaliculata Extract enhances the repairing and healing process for surgical wounds (hypertrophic and keloid), abrasions, etc. It also protects against the aggressions of free radicals, preventing oxidative stress and premature skin aging.
