An amaranth seed extract with squalene and peptides. It nourishes and softens skin and supports the barrier. Well tolerated.
Topical application
BLimited evidence. One RCT or several controlled studies with limitations.
A nourishing plant extract. Safe.
Amaranthus Caudatus Seed Extract is an extract from amaranth seed, with plant squalene, peptides and lipids. In cosmetics it is used as a nourishing, barrier-supporting ingredient: squalene integrates well with skin lipids and helps a soft feel and less tightness. It appears in creams and serums for dry, uncomfortable skin. On efficacy, an honest read. Squalene and plant lipids make sense as emollients and barrier support, though clinical evidence for the whole extract is limited. It is a nourishing supporting active within a formula, useful in dry skin, rather than a restructuring treatment on its own. For topical use in pregnancy and breastfeeding there are no risk signals. Systemic absorption from skin is minimal, so it can be used in these stages. Tolerance is good. Low irritation and low allergy potential, suitable for sensitive skin. Most people see no reactions.
