Invention for Cosmetic Use of an Albizia julibrissin Extract and Corresponding Topical Composition
Invented by Arnaud Fournial, Claire-Marie Grizaud, Philippe Mondon, Sederma SA
The extract from the bark of the Albizia julibrissin tree contains compounds that have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties make it an attractive ingredient for use in skincare products, as they can help to reduce inflammation and protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
In addition to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, the Albizia julibrissin extract has also been shown to have a brightening effect on the skin. This is due to its ability to inhibit the production of melanin, which is responsible for dark spots and uneven skin tone.
The market for cosmetic products containing Albizia julibrissin extract is growing rapidly, as consumers become more aware of the benefits of natural ingredients in skincare. These products are available in a variety of forms, including serums, creams, and masks.
One of the key advantages of using Albizia julibrissin extract in skincare products is that it is suitable for all skin types. It is gentle enough for sensitive skin, yet effective enough to provide visible results for those with more mature or damaged skin.
Another advantage of using Albizia julibrissin extract in skincare products is that it is a sustainable and eco-friendly ingredient. The Albizia julibrissin tree is fast-growing and requires minimal water and fertilizer, making it an environmentally responsible choice for cosmetic manufacturers.
Overall, the market for cosmetic products containing Albizia julibrissin extract is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. As consumers become more conscious of the ingredients in their skincare products, natural and sustainable ingredients like Albizia julibrissin extract will become increasingly popular.

A person with knowledge of the art can adjust the amount to achieve the desired result.
The excipient is chosen according to the limitations of the Albizia Julibrissin or Darutoside material (stability, soluble, etc.). If necessary, the excipient is chosen according to the desired dosage form for the composition.
The Albizia Julibrissin and Darutoside, if present, may be incorporated in a composition using an aqueous solvent, or dissolved with the usual physiologically accepted solubilizers. For example, and without limitation to this list, these include: ethanol propanol isopropanol propylene glycol glycerin butylene glycol polyethylene glycol. You can also try emulsifiers to dissolve the extract. “A powder medium can be used.
The compositions that are adapted to the present invention can be prepared using conventional methods, which any person skilled in the art will recognize. These include the preparation of topical and orally administered compositions as well as injection compositions. These methods can involve mixing ingredients in one or several steps to achieve a uniform state. This may be done with or without heating or cooling.
The invention includes all galenic forms, i.e. Creams and lotions; ointments and gels; emulsions and dispersions; solutions and suspensions. Cleansers and foundations.
