Features & Benefits

Benefits

Ursolic Acid is found to have the following benefits:

  • Collagen and elastin synthesis
  • Repair photo-aged skin
Product Highlights

The genus name Salvia, is derived from the Latin salvere, "to be saved", in reference to the healing properties of plant. Ursolic acid forms the oilresistant barrier on the skin. It inhibits the action of elastase in the skin, thereby preventing the enzyme from attacking structural proteins. Ursolic acid has been used to treat photo-aged skin because it helps prevent and improve the appearance of wrinkles and age spots by restoring the skin's collagen bundle structures and its elasticity.

Technical Details & Test Data

In Vitro Studies

Anti inflammatory Potential
In house studies reveal that it effectively helps in maintaining skin structural components such as elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid.

The functional properties of these components are as follows:

  • Elastin : For skin elasticity
  • Collagen : For skin firmness and density
  • Hyaluronic acid :  For skin strength that keep skin supple and toned


It helps in preventing and reversing skin aging by inhibiting hyaluronidase, collagenase and elastase enzymes.

The comparative anti-inflammatory potential of Sage Extract (Ursolic 90%) and Sodium
Ursolate has been shown.
