WHAT IS SICHUAN PEPPER EXTRACT IN SKINCARE?

Sichuan pepper extract comes from the fruit of the Zanthoxylum Bungeanum plant.

In skincare, it is used for its:

• wrinkle-softening appearance
• soothing effects
• skin comfort support
• antioxidant properties
• fast-acting smoothing benefits

Supplier testing showed visible improvements in wrinkle appearance in areas such as:

• the eye area
• cheek area
• peri-auricular area (around the ears)

Unlike many harsh tightening ingredients, Sichuan pepper extract is also known for helping calm and comfort the skin.

That makes it especially interesting for:

• mature skin
• sensitive skin
• delicate eye areas
• menopause-related skin changes
