Poria Cocos Extract is derived from a fungus widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is rich in lanostane-type triterpenoids.
Poria Cocos Extract is purified to reduce color and odor while retaining known biological activities. It is used in anti-aging products intended for eye products and irritation-prone skin.
Known to inhibit the release of several pro-inflammatory cytokines (TGF-a, IL-1, IL-6) and enzymes (PLA2), Poria Cocos Extract has been shown to reduce edema, making it useful for under-eye puffiness.
