Common Name(s): Fagus sylvatica bud extract,european beech bud extract,beech tree bud extract
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Helps skin look younger and more vital by supporting natural renewal processes.
Why It's Used: The embryonic cells of beech buds (fagus sylvatica) contain concentrated phytohormones and growth factors; these bioactive compounds are linked to epigenetic regulation of skin aging.
How It Works: Beech bud extracts contain polyamines, cytokinins, and polyphenols from the embryonic plant cells; these phytochemicals are proposed to influence epigenetic (dna methylation) regulation of skin aging genes and support skin cell renewal.
