DESCRIPTION
Ampelopsis Japonica is a traditional East Asian vine extract now finding its place in modern cosmetics for its powerful soothing and antioxidant properties. Standardized to a 10:1 ratio, our concentrated extract delivers higher levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins—natural compounds that help calm stressed skin, neutralize free radicals, and protect against environmental aggressors.
In skincare, this ingredient is chosen not just for its heritage but for its performance: it helps reduce visible irritation, supports the skin barrier, and improves the overall look of clarity and balance. For formulators, Ampelopsis Japonica brings a unique edge—an ingredient less common than green tea or chamomile, yet offering similar antioxidant-rich benefits with a gentler, niche appeal.
DIRECTIONS & SUGGESTED USAGE
Calming Serums & Creams: Use at 0.5–2% in moisturizers, barrier creams, or daily serums to reduce visible redness and restore comfort to sensitive or stressed skin.
Protective Toners & Masks: Add 0.5–2% into toners, sheet masks, or gel masks for antioxidant defense and hydration balance.
Formulation Notes: Water-soluble. Add to the water phase or cool-down stage below 40 °C. Works well in synergy with green tea extract, licorice root, and niacinamide.
