Extreme Plant

EXPLORING SURVIVAL MYSTERY

Extreme Plants can resist pressures in extreme environments: from  deserts to deep oceans to snow mountains. They can survive, grow, even flourish under extreme conditions — Blazing sun, dust storm, freezing cold and water depletion

Throughout the extreme environments all over the world, iLab found out 7 valuable and rare extreme plants . iLab is dedicated to exploring the survival mysteries of extreme plants against extreme environmental stress.

PROTECTION

UV AND BLUE LIGHT PROTECTION
Micro Algae 
Brittany
SURVIVAL MYSTERY

Originating from the coast of Brittany, France, Micro Algae is famous for its unique self-defense ability. Its strong biological inhibition ability can resist the pressure of external light waves, especially blue light and ultraviolet light.

 

BLUE LIGHT PROTECTION

Resist skin-induced adverse reactions caused by blue light. Protect the dermis layer and reduce blue light-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and carbonylated protein levels. Inhibit tyrosinase activity, help reduce blue light-induced pigmentation, and achieve uniform skin tone effect.

 

UVA PROTECTION

Resist skin-induced adverse reactions caused by blue light. Protect the dermis layer and reduce blue light-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and carbonylated protein levels. Inhibit tyrosinase activity, help reduce blue light-induced pigmentation, and achieve uniform skin tone effect.

 

UVB PROTECTION

Protect against skin adverse reactions caused by UVB: protect keratinocytes, reduce the number of sunburned cells, and protect against epidermal protein damage.

 

DUST BLOCK

Moringa Seed
Himalayas

 

SURVIVAL MYSTERY

Originating from the foothills of the Himalayas, Moringa seeds have very harsh growth conditions. They must be dry and hot but not low in water. The locals pressed it into powder and purified it into drinking water. A little piece of Moringa Seed can purify four liters of water and is called the Miracle Tree.

 

BLOCK PM2.5 AND HEAVY METAL ON SKIN SURFACE

Protects fibroblasts against heavy metal poisoning. Protects skin from dust, smoke and PM2.5. The lotus effect is formed on the skin surface, reducing the adhesion of pollutants. It can also remove finely polluted particles, deeply clean the dirt, and purify the skin.

 

PURIFICATE PM2.5 AND HEAVY METAL ABSORBED IN SKIN

In the stratum corneum, strengthen filaggrin and stratum corneum cells and repair the barrier damaged by PM2.
In the granular layer, Activate the phagocytic activity of macrophages, activate immunity, and deeply purify PM2.5 absorbed transdermally
In the spinal cell layer and basal layer, The effect of PM2.5 absorbed fibroblasts on transdermal absorption is significantly reduced, and cell and DNA damage is repaired in depth.

Alfalfa Extract
Tibet

SURVIVAL MYSTERY

Tenacious life: Tibet's high altitude, harsh environment, general plants
The alfalfa is able to survive in Tibet in large quantities.
Tibet God Grass: Because alfalfa brings great economic and ecological benefits for local Tibetans, it is called "God Grass" by local people.
Because alfalfa brings great economic and ecological benefits to local Tibetans, it is called "God Grass" by local people.

 

MYB transcription factor against photoaging

It has been found that alfalfa, when subjected to environmental stress, such as heavy radiation, drought, etc., it will synthesize a large number of secondary metabolites flavonoid compounds, thus adapting to the effects of UV radiation.
Further studies found that the transcription factor MYB plays an important role in its flavonoid biosynthesis also plays an important role.

REPAIR

Durvillea Antartica
 Antartica
SURVIVAL MYSTERY

Antarctic ice sea brown algae grow from the icy Antarctic coast to the southern Indian Ocean, they grow in the cold and harsh deep sea environment below 300 meters, the are very hardy and can endure the cold.

 

REPLENISH SKIN NUTRIENTS

Contains all the essential amino acids, Omega-3, lipids, soluble fiber, and many other active ingredients that regulate lipids, lower blood pressure, and improve glucose metabolism.
Active ingredients.

 

PROTECTS SKUN FIBERS

It can inhibit ProMMP-3, promote tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) complex.
(MMP) complex formation. Protects the elastic fibers of the dermis, making the skin less susceptible to damage.

 

PROVIDES RAPID REPAIR AFTER SUNBURN

Inhibits the expression of MMP-1 in human skin fibroblasts induced by UV irradiation, and the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) after sun exposure is significantly inhibited by fucoidan for the treatment of photodamaged skin.

 

 

 

REVITALIZATION

Resurrection Plant
Africa

SURVIVAL MYSTERY

Originating from the rocky land of Africa, Resurrection Plant grows in extreme environments. Even when it is dry, it will be revived within 24 hours when it encounters water, and it is known as a miracle of nature.

 

HYDRATION & MOISURIZATION

In vitro experiments — Protect the cell membrane and strengthen the skin barrier during dehydration; enhance cell viability and effectively prevent oxidation from damaging the lipid matrix.

 

METABOLISM

In-vivo experiment — Let dry skin regain freshness and moisturization, and radiate luster. Reduce redness and swelling, help skin resist stress; improve skin texture and condition, and restore sensitive and damaged skin to life.

 

REVITALIZING

In extreme environments, prevent and repair damage to the skin caused by sunlight, haze and sweat, protect cell membranes and metabolic mechanisms, while hydrating and moisturizing, soothing and calming, injecting oasis-like vitality into desert-like skin; Revitalizes the skin outdoors.

 

 

 

BRIGHTENING

Rock Rose
Mediterrranean

SURVIVAL MYSTERY

Originating from the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Europe, Rock Rose grows on the seashore, is very sensitive to light and heat, its branches and leaves are flammable, and its seeds are fire-resistant, so it will be reborn when the weather is too hot.

 

RESIST ULTRAVIOLET

In the extreme environment, it resists the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin, soothes, calms, repairs damaged skin, and suppresses melanin production; it gives skin vitality outdoors.
