Echinacea extract, used in our formulas for skin that feels reactive. In its source, a cream carrying echinacea compounds was well tolerated in a patch test and raised the skin's own barrier lipids, including a ceramide, after 15 days.

Tolerance in the formula

Echinacea sits in our formulas for one job: keeping reactive skin comfortable. We file it under Calming in this glossary for the job we use it for, and the evidence section below says how far its source goes.

Tolerance in the threshold

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Tolerance in the evidence

Our source is a peer reviewed observational or laboratory study, recorded as Olah 2017 PMID 28610718. You can read it yourself at PubMed 28610718. We grade that as solid support for what the ingredient does.

Tolerance and its limits

The research behind Echinacea studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
