3 Cistanche tubulosa Extract: Multi-Mechanism Synergy for Skin Health and Radiance

Skin health maintenance is a complex system involving the interaction between intrinsic physiological processes and external environmental factors. Both natural internal processes and external conditions influence skin appearance. With its rich natural active ingredients, Cistanche tubulosa extract offers a scientifically grounded raw material solution for maintaining skin health and enhancing its visual texture through multi-targeted, multi-pathway mechanisms.

3.1 Core Active Ingredients and Skin Health

Cistanche tubulosa extract is rich in multiple natural active components, primarily including:

·Phenethyl alcohol glycosides (e.g., echinacoside, astragaloside IV)

·Polysaccharides (CDPS)

·D-mannitol, etc.

Research indicates these components synergistically support skin health through multiple mechanisms. For instance, appropriate additions of D-mannitol or Cistanche polysaccharides help increase skin hydroxyproline levels while supporting collagen fiber quantity and skin elasticity.

3.2 Mechanism of Action and Application Potential

In vitro studies demonstrate Cistanche tubulosa extract's positive impact on maintaining skin matrix structure.Experiments indicate that after treatment with appropriate extract doses, beneficial changes occur in the expression levels of certain biomarkers associated with collagen metabolism and moisture retention.

Research also reveals that Cistanche deserticola polysaccharides protect skin cells exposed to UVB irradiation by helping to inhibit oxygen radical chain reactions and supporting the self-repair capacity of skin tissue. Additionally, this ingredient has been reported to promote proliferation in various cell types.

Notably, phenethyl glycosides in Cistanche tubulosa exhibit UV-absorbing properties that mitigate skin damage from ultraviolet radiation. These compounds also enhance superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, thereby exerting antioxidant effects.

Regarding skin tone regulation, research indicates that total phenethyl alcohol glycosides from Cistanche tubulosa modulate tyrosinase activity. Experiments demonstrate that appropriate concentrations of these glycosides inhibit UVB-induced changes in tyrosinase activity and regulate mRNA transcription levels of related genes, offering a novel solution for brightening skin tone and evening out complexion.
