Pleiotanicals® Volpura® EPO (R10125)

Pleiotanicals® Volpura® EPO (R10125) is a plant-derived active ingredient extracted from Echinacea purpurea, known for its abundance in various active compounds, notably fatty acid alkylamides. This ingredient demonstrates the ability to activate PPAR-γ, which serves as the master regulator of adipogenesis. Its benefits lie in enhancing fat production by stimulating the differentiation of pre-adipocytes into adipocytes. This property makes it suitable for incorporation into formulations targeting anti-wrinkle effects, particularly for addressing expression lines in the forehead and nasolabial fold areas. Additionally, it finds application in facial contouring, re-firming, and plumping regimens aimed at addressing age-related lipoatrophy.
