Active ingredient
Velvet Extract
Extract derived from pre-ossified deer antler (velvet antler), the fastest-growing mammalian tissue known. Contains collagen, glycosaminoglycans, IGF-1, EGF, and other growth factors. Enzymatically digested velvet antler peptides have been shown to accelerate healing, reduce scar formation, and improve collagen fiber organization via TGF-β/Smad2 pathway modulation. Used in K-beauty essences for anti-aging and matrix-nourishing properties.
