Striover

INCI / Composition:

• Astragalus membranaceus (root) extract

• Codonopsis pilosula (root) extract

Type / Technology:

• Plant-based extract complex

• Water-soluble

• Topical active for stretch mark reduction

Mechanism of Action:

• Reactivates dermal fibroblasts in stretch-marked skin

• Mimics PRP-like (platelet-rich plasma) mechanism

• Increases growth factors (TGF-β1, FGF-β) → stimulates collagen I & III synthesis

• Remodels dermal matrix → improves elasticity, firmness, and skin texture

Key Benefits:

1. Reduces appearance and size of stretch marks (red & white)

2. Improves skin elasticity and firmness

3. Stimulates collagen production (types I & III)

4. Enhances skin texture and dermal structure

5. Non-invasive, topical application

6. Safe for use during pregnancy

Formulation & Usage:

• Typical usage rate: 0.5% – 5%

• Solubility: Water-soluble

• Best for incorporation into:

  • Body creams and lotions targeting stretch marks

  • Anti-aging / firming serums and creams

  • Remodeling or “body-sculpt” products

Notes / Tips:

• Water solubility makes it ideal for water-based formulations

• Works in vitro on fibroblasts from striae, demonstrating fibroblast activation and collagen remodeling

• Suitable for products marketed for skin tightening, elasticity improvement, and body contouring
