ALPAFLOR® EDELWEISS CB
INCI: Glycerin, Water, Leontopodium Alpinum Flower/Leaf Extract
CAS # 56-81-5
- ECOCert® certified organic, ALPAFLOR® EDELWEISS CB stimulates key proteins responsible for providing maximum protection and moisturization of the skin helping the skin preserve its natural balance, perceptibly reducing skin sensitivity for an ultimate skin sensation.
- In vitro (Skincare)
- Stimulates key genes of the cornified envelop (stimulates TG1, loricrin, involucrin, and small proline-rich proteins)
- Strong antioxidant with radical scavenging properties. Rebalances UV-induced oxidative stress markers on the gene level
- Increases protein levels of Transglutaminase-1 (up to 300%), Involucrin (up to 300%) and Keratin 10 (up to 260%)
- Prevents and reverses glycation: reduction of AGEs, glycated collagen IV, detoxifies and repairs after glycation stress
- Strongly and significantly boosts Collagen I and V
- Maintains healthy skin by preserving stem cells against oxidative stress
- Protects skin against urban dust particles induced stress
- Stimulates key proteins responsible for an optimal epidermal protection in vitro
- In Vivo (Skincare)
- Studies show that ALPAFLOR® EDELWEISS CB reverses the glycation process by 47% and boosts Collagen I by 111% in vitro- so it could help reduce these unwanted effects by firming and rejuvenating the skin.
- Significantly reduced glycation, and glycation-related signs of skin aging like fine lines, in all facial areas after 4 weeks.
- Compared to the placebo, these results were especially noticeable on the forehead, upper lip, and jaw line
- Stimulates stratum corneum cohesion (Tape Stripping)
- Improves skin integrity and hydration (Tape Stripping)
- Reduces skin sensitivity (Capsaicin Stinging Test)
- Visibly & perceptibly improves the skin structure
- Ex vivo (Hair Care ~ Density)
- Edelweiss extract prolongs anagen phase of hair follicles
- 8 x more hair follicles in the anagen phase with Edelweiss than placebo
- Improves hair matrix keratinocytes proliferation with a +50% increase of hair matrix keratinocytes proliferation with Edelweiss extract
- +43% increase of Versicanin the dermal papilla thanks to Edelweiss extract.
- In Vivo (Hair Care ~ Density)
- 13% increase in hair density VS T0 with the Edelweiss extract
- Significant better performance than Placebo after 5 months
- 90% of volunteers treated with ALPAFLOR®EDELWEISS CB measured an increase in hair density
- Visible increase of hair density +49% of hair
- Higher proportion of hair in anagen phase using a serum with ALPAFLOR® EDELWEISS CB after 5 months.
- 20% more hair in the anagen phase with ALPAFLOR® EDELWEISS CB than placebo.

- 5% melanin content increase in Edelweiss treated hair follicles compared to vehicle treated follicles
- In Vivo (Hair Care ~ Re-pigmentation)
- + 13% more pigmented hair after 4 months versus T0
- Significant less grey hair vs. Placebo after 4 months
- 63% of volunteers showed improvement in hair pigmentation using ALPAFLOR® EDELWEISS CB
- Darker hair appearance after 4 months: 50% less grey hair versus Placebo
- Consumers confirm efficacy:
- 83% perceived a decrease in the number of grey hairs
