When most people hear “Sichuan pepper,” they think about food.
But in advanced skincare science, Sichuan pepper — also known as Zanthoxylum Bungeanum Fruit Extract — is becoming one of the most fascinating botanical ingredients for helping soften the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles.

while also helping soothe delicate skin.
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:

- 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

That makes it especially interesting for:
