Coleus Barbatus Root Extract is a natural extract from the traditional Indian plant used in Ayurveda. Rich in biologically active forskolin with stimulating and energizing properties, it is recommended for products designed to treat cellulite and for barrier repair.
The forskolin in Coleus Barbatus Root Extract is a potent elevator of c-AMP levels, essential for inducing lipolysis (fat destruction). Elevated c-AMP also stimulates keratinocyte differentiation, leading to improved barrier properties.
Coleus Barbatus Root Extract is also known to repair UV-induced DNA damage. In addition, it exhibits a vasodilator effect, improving blood microcirculation and enhancing regenerative processes. The recommended usage level is about 0.05 - 0.1%.
