The Beauty and Skincare Benefits of Tasmanian Mountain Pepper
Leitin Skincare incorporates the essence of Australian Native Mountain Pepper Berry (Tasmannia lanceolata) in our products. Native to Tasmania, Mountain Pepper Berry is rich in natural compounds that provide remarkable skincare benefits.
Mountain Pepper Berry extract is a potent source of antioxidants, notably anthocyanins and chlorogenic acid. These antioxidants play a crucial role in combating oxidative stress, protecting the skin from environmental damage, and promoting a youthful appearance. Anthocyanins, in particular, have been shown to reduce the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, thereby helping to brighten and improve skin texture.
The extract's anti-inflammatory properties help to calm and soothe irritated skin. It minimises the appearance of redness and sensitivity by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes that degrade collagen and elastin, thus maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
Additionally, the extract supports skin hydration and barrier function, enhancing overall skin health. Its ability to promote collagen and elastin synthesis contributes to the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, offering anti-aging benefits.
