Few ingredients can make the clinically proven claims that are possible with Kigafirm, the remarkable fruit extract of the mystical African tree, Kigelia africana.
The detail on Kigafirm
from ZUPLEX
Kigafirm is a targeted extract of Kigelia africana fruit that maximises firming and anti-inflammatory activity. The large tree occurs throughout Africa and produces greyish-brown sausage-shaped fruits that grow up to 60 cm long and weigh up to 7 kg.
Several publications in the academic literature have shown that extracts of Kigelia show anti-inflammatory activity with low toxicity. The skin firming capacity of the extract has been shown in independent trials. Kigafirm is targeted at the skin firming and anti-inflammatory potential of this plant. Kigelia africana contains verminoside that confers anti-inflammatory activity and anti-nociceptive activity with very low toxicity (LD50 or 1.3 g/kg). Verminoside has been shown to inhibit enzymes involved in inflammation by up to 83% at very low concentrations.
Full INCI: Kigelia africana fruit extract, propanediol, water
N.B. We also provide a Hydro-Glycerine extract version of this ingredient which does not contain propanediol. More info can be found here
