About ZANTHOXYLUM PIPERITUM FRUIT EXTRACT
Japanese prickly ash extract — a traditional botanical that stimulates microcirculation, soothes irritation, and provides a mild tingling sensation to revitalize skin.
Detailed Analysis
Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract (CAS 97404-53-0) is obtained from the fruit of the Japanese prickly ash (Zanthoxylum piperitum, Rutaceae). It contains sanshools (alkylamides) that activate TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors, producing a characteristic tingling sensation and improving local microcirculation. The extract also provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Used in anti-aging and revitalizing skincare formulations, often at low concentrations (0.1-1%). Generally well-tolerated but may cause mild tingling in sensitive individuals.
