Eperuline® PW LS 9627 is an aqueous extract from the bark of the tree Eperua falcata Aubl that has anti-irritation properties. Our bodies perform less efficiently with age; the once well-oiled cell machinery deteriorates, and we become more sensitive to environmental changes. Everyday aggressors such as UV and pollution trigger the release of pro-inflammatory markers that cause low-grade chronic inflammation that is distributed across the body. This mechanism, known as inflamm'aging, results in permanent, silent, and invisible inflammation. It causes cell degeneration and damages the tissues that maintain the inflammation, leading to accelerated aging. To break the vicious circle of silent inflammation, BASF experts developed Eperuline® PW. By fighting against age-related chronic micro-inflammation, it helps improve skin's firmness, elasticity, and tonicity, while reducing the appearance of sagging to maintain a youthful look.
