A larch wood extract with arabinogalactan. It holds moisture and forms a protective film. Well tolerated.
Topical application
BLimited evidence. One RCT or several controlled studies with limitations.
A hydrating plant extract. Safe.
Siberian larch wood extract (INCI Larix Sibirica Wood Extract) stands out for its arabinogalactan content, a branched polysaccharide. In cosmetics it acts as a humectant with film-forming ability: it holds water at the surface and forms a thin film that gives a feeling of comfort and softness. On efficacy, its hydrating and film-forming role is reasonable and well understood for this type of polysaccharide. Still, it is best placed as a good component supporting hydration rather than an anti-aging active with strong clinical results. Topically it has no systemic relevance, so it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good: low irritation and low allergy risk, suitable for sensitive skin too. It is a gentle ingredient that adds comfort without overloading the formula.
