- Product Highlights
Peanut Shell Extract is obtained from the dried pod shells of Arachis hypogaea and standardized to contain 20% Luteolin. Luteolin belongs to a group of naturally occurring compounds called flavonoids, found to be one of the most effective antioxidants in the plant kingdom. Peanut Shell Extract functions as an anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory, and soothing agent. The anti-irritant benefit of the extract protects the skin from irritation caused by irritants and potentially allergic substances. Thus, can be used in combination with compounds that may irritate the skin, or in formulations for sensitive skin.
Applications & Uses

- Food & Nutrition Applications
- Skin Care Applications
The skin serves as a protective barrier against environmental irritants. When the skin area is irritated or infected, keratinocytes and local immune cells detect the damage or pathogen and release several mast cell mediators such as histamine, serotonin, proteases, and several cytokines that causes redness, itching, and swelling.
As an anti-irritant, laboratory studies have demonstrated that Peanut Shell Extract inhibits the histamine and ß-hexosaminidase production in sensitized mast cells in a dose-dependent manner and thus helpful in relieving symptoms of itching.
In addition, it scavenges free radicals and inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α) thus reduces redness and inflammation of damaged skin.
Peanut Shell Extract can be used in a wide variety of cosmetic formulations like body care products and sensitive/dry skin products.
