Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessCARE Smooth
How AccessCARE Smooth Works
AccessCARE Smooth is a clinically tested, phyto-derived anti-aging active featuring Kaempferia parviflora (Black Galingale) Rhizome Extract. This Thai botanical is rich in 5,7-dimethoxyflavones and other flavonoids that deliver potent skin smoothing and anti-wrinkle benefits while reducing oxidative stress. The unique flavonoid profile supports improved skin texture, enhanced firmness, and a reduction in the visible depth of wrinkles. In a 28-day clinical study on 20 women aged 25–45, a 3% cream applied twice daily achieved a 4.20% increase in skin smoothness and a 12.70% reduction in wrinkle depth.
Formulation Guidelines
AccessCARE Smooth is a water-soluble liquid (in Butylene Glycol) suitable for incorporation into the water phase of anti-aging serums, smoothing creams, overnight treatments, and skin-refining formulations. The recommended use level is 3%. Add during the cool-down stage at temperatures below 40°C (104°F) to preserve the flavonoid content. It is compatible within a cosmetic pH range of 4.5–6.5 and pairs well with complementary anti-aging actives such as peptides, retinoids, hyaluronic acid, and bakuchiol. Avoid combining with strong oxidizing agents that may compromise the dimethoxyflavone activity.
