It is a flowering herb from the Asteraceae family and also known as paracress or toothache plant because of its analgesic benefits. Its neuro blocking, numbing properties are believed to inhibit involuntary micro-contractions involved in facial muscle movements, providing a rapid botox-style, wrinkle-reducing, smoothing action.the anti ageing properties of an Acmella oleracea extract have been demonstrated and can be attributed principally to a mechanism of myorelaxation, which treats the causes of fine line formation. The results on the skin are an immediate smoothing effect with significant reduction of wrinkles. (CAS: 90131-24-1/EINECS: 290-335-0)
