Jasminum Sambac Flower Extract

Arabian Jasmine has been cultivated and used medicinally across South and Southeast Asia for thousands of years, where its flowers have been applied to treat inflammatory skin conditions, wounds, and pigmentation disorders. The plant derives its cosmetic name from the Persian word “yâsamin” — meaning “God’s Gift” — a reflection of the esteem in which it was traditionally held. Modern phytochemical research has confirmed the bioactive basis for many of these traditional applications, identifying a rich profile of phenolic glycosides, flavonoid iridoids, and terpenoids with measurable anti-inflammatory and enzyme-inhibiting properties. The anti-tyrosinase activity of Jasminum Sambac extract is particularly relevant in post-treatment skincare. Tyrosinase is the enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis, and its over-activation following inflammation, UV exposure, or aesthetic procedures is the primary cause of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — one of the most common and difficult-to-treat complications after skin treatments. By inhibiting tyrosinase activity, Jasminum Sambac helps prevent the formation of dark spots and supports a more even, uniform skin tone during the critical recovery window. In combination with Crataegus Monogyna (Hawthorn), Jasminum Sambac forms the Eye’fective™ complex used in Forget About Age’s Instant Eyes Love and Instant Teint Love formulations. Clinical studies on the Eye’fective™ complex have demonstrated a significant reduction in dark circles under the eyes within 14 days, alongside measurable lifting of the upper eyelid after 28 days — results attributed to the synergistic action of the two botanical extracts on circulation, inflammation, and tissue tone.
