anti aging
Spilanthol is the bioactive alkaloid extracted from Acmella oleracea (paracress, also known as jambu in Brazil) — a flowering plant used in Brazilian, Indian, and Southeast Asian traditional medicine. The molecule has demonstrated muscle-relaxant properties when applied topically, leading to its positioning as a 'natural botox alternative' in modern cosmetic formulations. Clinical evidence is emerging but still developing.
peptide
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can signal skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin. The category is broad and evidence quality varies dramatically — some peptides (like Matrixyl) have decent clinical data, while many others are supported by little more than in vitro studies and marketing enthusiasm.
