It’s not so easy to pronounce, and it’s not as ubiquitous as Retinol or Vitamin C, but Anogeissus (pronounced ann-o-gaay-sis) is proving to be a wonderfully effective ingredients in the quest for youthful-looking skin. We are one of the first skincare brands to infuse Anogeissus into our formulas, in particular our Plantscription™ collection. Our Origins Discovery lab conducted innovative studies to learn about its benefits. What we love most about this potent plant active: it sets its sights on three key firming components of your skin.
WHAT IS ANOGEISSUS?
Anogeissus is a tree that grows in tropical climates in Africa, also known as the African Birch, and has a long history of use. It typically grows in clusters within very dry to wet climates. It is a slow growing plant and once fully bloomed, the seeds are often dispersed through the wind.
HOW DOES ANOGEISSUS IN SKINCARE WORK?
Anogeissus is used in skincare that helps skin look firmer and smoother. “Anogeissus has been shown to helps boost skin’s natural production of three proteins: Fibrillin, Collagen and Elastin,” says Rocky Graziose, Origins Biotech and Discovery Labs. For more context: These proteins are important components of your skin that give your skin its firmness and bounce. As you age, they naturally degrade, which can lead to visible signs of aging like fine lines and lack of firmness. Supporting these proteins can help promote the skin’s natural youthfulness, soften lines and boost firmness.
WHAT ARE ANOGEISSUS SKIN BENEFITS?
Anogeissus skincare ingredients works on multiple aspects of the skin. It’s an ingredient that knows exactly what it wants: to help firm and smooth your skin. The two Anogeissus skin benefits include:
- • Helps firm appearance of skin /help improve firmness
As we age, our skin becomes laxer as Elastin and Fibrillin breakdown. It’s a natural and inevitable process. Applying skincare with Anogeissus can help skin look firmer and more lifted with a youthful bounce. - • Reduces look of lines and wrinkles
Similarly, as we age, and as collagen breaks down, lines and wrinkles may appear. Skincare with Anogeissus works to help smooth and soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Like many potent skincare ingredients, products formulated with Anogeissus should be applied to clean skin. The reason: when a skincare product is applied directly to clean skin, it’s able to penetrate the skin more readily. Start with a cleanser, then layer your Anogeissus infused serum, moisturizer and eye cream.
