Tannin Complex

Description

Тannin Complex (Liquid Type)

Tannin Complex is a complex extract that combines the power of tannin-group compounds from nine different botanical sources. This innovation is specifically designed to utilize the potent astringent properties of tannins to control excess sebum and help tighten the appearance of pores, while providing cellular-level skin protection through antioxidant activity.

Tannin Complex is a proprietary formula that blends extracts from nine plant species carefully selected for their high tannin content. This formula leverages the synergistic action of these extracts to inhibit excessive sebum secretion and tighten the skin, visibly refining the appearance of pores. Additionally, it acts as a protective barrier against oxidative damage to the skin.

Mode of Action and Key Actives

The principal active in Tannin Complex is “tannins,” a class of polyphenolic compounds that bind to proteins, causing mild tissue contraction which leads to the appearance of tightened pores. Tannins also help inhibit enzymes involved in inflammation and reduce oxidative damage in skin cells, supporting smoother and more resilient skin.

Astringent and Antioxidant Modes of Action

1. Astringent Mechanism:

   • Tannins are polyphenolic compounds that have the special ability to bind to proteins.

   • When applied topically, tannins promote gentle protein cross-linking on the skin surface, resulting in pore tightening and effective control of excess sebum secretion, which helps the skin appear smoother.

2. Sebum Control Mechanism:

   • The combined action of the nine plant extracts helps inhibit enzymes involved in lipogenesis, reducing sebum overproduction and restoring skin balance—one of the main contributors to acne formation.

3. Antioxidant Mechanism:

   • Tannins act as potent antioxidants that protect skin cells from free radicals generated by UV exposure and pollution, thereby reducing skin damage and slowing visible signs of aging.

Cosmetic Benefits

• Mattified skin and tightened pores: Helps control excess oil production, reducing shine and refining pore appearance.

• Reduced likelihood of acne: Lowers skin surface oil levels, which is a contributing factor in acne formation.

• Anti-aging and skin protection: Provides protection against oxidative stress, helping to delay aging signs.

Manufacturer Research and Notable Innovations

Notable innovation: Effective control of sebum secretion.

The most notable research on Tannin Complex demonstrates its efficacy in controlling and reducing excess sebum secretion on the skin.

Clinical Test Results: Reduction of Sebum Secretion

• Test Method: A clinical test was conducted with volunteers applying an essence containing 3% Tannin Complex versus a control product without Tannin Complex for 4 weeks. Sebum levels were measured using an oil/sebum meter.

• Test Results:

  • Sebum secretion reduced by 17.9% within 2 weeks.

  • Sebum secretion decreased significantly by 60.5% within 4 weeks.

  • 100% of volunteers reported reduced sebum levels within 4 weeks.

• Mechanism Summary: This study confirms that Tannin Complex effectively controls excess sebum through the astringent action of tannins derived from the nine plant species, which bind to proteins on the skin surface and inhibit overproduction of oil, resulting in improved skin balance and visibly reduced pore size.

Research

Research from Kyoto University (Japan) investigated the effects of tannins extracted from plants such as green tea leaves and chestnut bark. The study found that tannins can inhibit lipid oxidation in the skin, which is a contributing factor to inflammation and premature wrinkles. Additionally, tannins were shown to inhibit the growth of acne-associated bacteria and to accelerate wound healing by stimulating collagen production in the dermis, resulting in smoother, more elastic skin.
