At Aloderma, we're firm believers in the marriage of farm-fresh ingredients and cutting-edge science. That's why Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Leaf/Stem Extract, a unique botanical extract, plays a key role in our firming and rejuvenating product line.

Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, often referred to as Southern Ginseng, is a climbing vine native to Southeast Asia. Its reputation as an adaptogen stems from its ability to modulate cellular responses to stress. This translates to skincare benefits through its rich saponin content. Saponins are a class of glycosides known for their antioxidant properties. They combat free radicals, those unstable molecules that wreak havoc on skin cells by accelerating signs of aging like wrinkles and loss of elasticity.

But Gynostemma Pentaphyllum goes beyond basic antioxidant defense. In-vitro studies suggest its potential to stimulate the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and collagen. GAGs are essential components of the skin's extracellular matrix, providing structure and maintaining hydration. Increased GAG production by Gynostemma Pentaphyllum extract translates to improved skin elasticity and a plumper appearance. Additionally, research indicates the extract's ability to upregulate collagen synthesis, the protein responsible for skin firmness and youthful vitality.

We've strategically incorporated Gynostemma Pentaphyllum extract into our Aloe Firming Cream, Aloe Firming Serum, and Aloe Firming Eye Cream. This allows the extract to work synergistically with our hero ingredient, organic aloe vera. Together, they deliver a potent blend of botanical actives that target the cellular mechanisms underlying skin aging, promoting a visibly firmer, smoother, and more radiant complexion.

By incorporating Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, we're not just following tradition; we're embracing science-backed botanical power to elevate your skincare experience.
