Saw Palmetto Extract, derived from the highly purified lipophilic extraction of Serenoa Serrulata berries, is recognized for its rich fatty acid content and is a natural, preservative-free ingredient approved by Ecocert. The extract is particularly valued for its role in inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, crucial in the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, thereby aiding in the management of acne-prone and oily skin and mitigating excessive hair loss. Its additional capacity to inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes such as COX-2 and 5-lipoxygenase, along with leukotriene B4, makes it an effective choice for soothing and supporting skin that is prone to irritation.
