Spilanthes Acmella Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
Acmella (Spilanthes) extract
Acmella (Spilanthes acmella) is a tropical plant from the aster family, known for its yellow, globe-shaped flower heads. Its key component is spilanthol - a compound that briefly relaxes tension in tiny muscles.
In cosmetics, acmella extract helps relax skin tensed by facial expressions, making expression lines such as crow's feet less visible. It smooths and firms the skin, supports epidermal renewal and provides a lifting effect.
You'll find it in our active eye serum for the eye area.
Did you know?: Acmella is sometimes called the "toothache plant" - chewing its flowers causes a tingling and slight numbing of the mouth, thanks to spilanthol
