Plantolin®/Phytoplenolin® at 0.2% concentration alleviated inflammation as much as a 1.0% hyaluronic acid (a well known, but expensive, moisturising, soothing and emollient agent).

Plantolin®/Phytoplenolin® also proved (comparing the concentration of extract used) to have a more powerful anti-inflammatory activity than Caribbean Gorgonians of the genus Psuedopterogorgia (which have a proven and patented anti-inflammatory effect).

Effectiveness in healing human subjects

Plantolin®/Phytoplenolin® was shown to promote skin cell renewal and healing at a quicker rate, and at a much lower concentration, than a standard 2% alpha-hydroxy-acid lotion (a known, potent cell renewing agent).

Plantolin®/Phytoplenolin® was shown to do this without the drastic, mechanical, exfoliating and caustic effects of the alpha-hydroxy-acids. In fact, instead of being harsh on the skin, Plantolin®/Phytoplenolin® is actually soothing and anti-inflammatory.

Effectiveness in protecting the skin from sunburn

Plantolin®/Phytoplenolin® was shown to provide a mild Sun Protection Factor (SPF), which works in concert with its proven anti-inflammatory properties to provide protection against sunburn.

Effectiveness in treating Eczema

When used in a skin cream preparation like H Bio-Juven Plantolin® Skin Balm, Plantolin®/Phytoplenolin® was shown to be extremely effective in reducing the dryness and inflammation associated with Eczema. It proved to be a quick acting preparation: Most of the participants in the trial noticed an improvement after the first or second week of treatment.

Effectiveness in treating Psoriasis

When used in a skin cream preparation like H Bio-Juven Plantolin® Skin Balm, Plantolin®/Phytoplenolin® was proven to reduce the inflammation and scaling characteristic of psoriasis. Most people noticed an improvement after the first or second week of treatment.
