Ulmus davidiana root extract

Summary

Ulmus davidiana has a long history of use in Asia, but is new to the United States. Research has provided evidence of the anti-inflammatory and antiaging properties of this botanical cosmeceutical ingredient. Of greatest interest now, perhaps, is its potential to impede cellular senescence. Senescent cells release a multitude of inflammatory and other factors that hasten intrinsic aging. Blocking cellular senescence is an important approach to the prevention and treatment of skin aging.
