Kigafirm-GLY is a targeted Kigelia africana fruit extract obtained from a selective hydro-glycolic extraction process. The extract has equivalent activity to propanediol based extracts.

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, glycerine, water, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate

N.B. This variant is the Hydro-Glycerine extract and does not contain propanediol
