Sakura Extract

Nothing symbolizes Japan like the Sakura cherry tree and its blossoms bringing new life, peace and beauty to the world each Spring. Sakura (Prunus lannesiana) flowers are beautiful to view and can provide beauty from within thanks most likely to the phytonutrients caffeoyl glucose (1-caffeoyl-I-β-D-glucopyranoside) and quercetin glucose (quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside). Compelling clinical studies have shown that Sakura Extract inhibits AGEs production. Advanced Glycation End Products are known to contribute to the progression of age-related diseases. Other studies have demonstrated that Sakura Extract may promote collagen formation in fibroblasts. For hair care, studies indicate that Sakura Extract can improve hair softness and moisture levels making the extract a perfect ingredient for shampoo and conditioner products.
