Saw Palmetto Extract – Natural Sebum Regulator for Skincare
Saw Palmetto Extract (Serenoa repens) is a botanical extract highly valued in skincare for its ability to regulate sebum production and calm skin inflammation. Rich in essential fatty acids and phytosterols, this extract is particularly effective in formulations targeting oily, acne-prone, or sensitive skin.
Functional Benefits for Cosmetic Formulations
- Sebum Regulation: Inhibits overproduction of sebum by reducing 5-alpha-reductase activity, a key enzyme involved in oil imbalance.
- Anti-inflammatory Action: Soothes irritated skin and reduces redness and swelling associated with acne and inflammation.
- Non-comedogenic: Supports pore-clearing skincare without clogging, ideal for acne-fighting routines.
- Gender-Neutral & Scalp-Friendly: Also used in men’s grooming and scalp treatments for oil control and irritation relief.
