Name of Study Results
Immediate Skin Lifting Sensorial Assay
91% of the volunteers were able to perceive a significant tightening effect on the area around the eye were AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced was applied. These results showed to be higher than the results obtained when using the control by itself. According to the results, we can confirm that AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced can be used to noticeably reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in an immediate basis. This is an ideal ingredient to add to cosmetic and personal care applications where intense and immediate lifting benefits are desired.
Collagen Synthesis Assay
Sirius Red/Fast Green Collagen Assay was conducted to assess the changes in collagen synthesis by AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced treated in vitro cultured human dermal fibroblasts. AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced exhibited positive collagen synthesis activity. The increase in collagen production may lead to improvement in the dermal-epidermal junction integrity as well as an improved scaffolding matrix. AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced is suitable for cosmetic applications designed to boost collagen synthesis.
Cellular Viability Assay
AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced exhibited positive results by increasing cell metabolism. The increase in fluorescent signal indicates an increase in cellular metabolism and viability post AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced treatment. For these reasons, we can assume AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced is suitable for cosmetic applications designed to increase cell viability and metabolism.

AC Griffonia Lysate AdvancedImmediate Skin Lifting Benefits
Code: 16634INCI Name: Griffonia Simplicifolia Seed ExtractSuggested Use Levels: 1.0-10.0%
Griffonia is an exotic shrub that is native to Africa. Its seeds have been shown to contain high concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and high molecular weight carbohydrates. 5-HTP is a precursor of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is capable of minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles via muscle relaxation. Unlike other precursors, 5-HTP can only be converted into serotonin in the human body.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether oAC Griffonia Lysate Advanced is capable of minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on a short term basis. This study was conducted with 12 volunteers who applied a commercial product containing 5% AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced on the outer eye area. All subjects were asked to evaluate the improvement in skin tightening compared to the test
The study was conducted with 12 M/F volunteers between the ages of 23 and 52 years old. Neutrogena ultra-gentle facial moisturizer was used as a control. All subjects were asked to rub 1ml of this cream on the area around their left eye. On the area around their right eye, all volunteers rubbed 1 ml of the control with 5% AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced.

Test Performed: Cellular Viability Assay
Introduction
The cellular viability assay is useful for quantitatively measuring cell-mediated cytotoxicity, cell proliferation and mitochondrial metabolic activity. Increased metabolism in a cell indicates ample cellular respiration and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. ATP is the molecular energy of cells and is required in basic cell function and signal transduction. A decrease is ATP levels indicates cytotoxicity and decreased cell function while an increase in ATP levels indicates healthy cells. The cellular viability assay was conducted to assess the ability of AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced to increase cellular metabolic activity in cultured dermal fibroblasts.
Assay Principle
The assay utilizes a nonfluorescent dye, resazurin, which is converted to a fluorescent dye, resorufin, in response to chemical reduction of growth medium from cell growth and by respiring mitochondria. Healthy cells that are in a proliferative state will be able to easily convert resazurin into resorufin without harming the cells. This method is a more sensitive assay than other commonly used mitochondrial reductase dyes such as MTT. An increase in the signal generated by resazurin-conversion is indicative of a proliferative cellular state.

Test Performed: Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC)
Introduction
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated by normal cellular processes, environmental stresses, andUV irradiation. ROS are detrimental to cellular structures and functional molecules (i.e DNA, proteins, lipids)as they act as strong oxidizing agents or free radicals. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC)assay is a standard method used to assess antioxidant capacity of physiological fluids, foods, beverages,and natural products. The assay quantitatively measures a sample’s ability to quench free radicals that have the potential to react with and damage cellular components.
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) assay was conducted to assess the antioxidant capacity of ACGriffonia Lysate Advanced.
Assay Principle
This assay is based upon the effect of peroxyl radicals generated from the thermal decomposition of 2, 2’-azobis-2-methyl-propanimidamide dihydrochloride (AAPH) on the signal intensity from the fluorescent probe,fluorescein, in the presence of an oxygen radical absorbing substance. The degree of change is indicativeof the amount of radical damage and the presence of antioxidants results in an inhibition in the free radicaldamage to the fluorescein. The antioxidant protection of the sample can be calculated by comparing it to aset of known standards. Trolox®, a water soluble vitamin E analog, with known antioxidant capabilities isused in this ORAC assay as the standard for measuring the antioxidant capacity of unknown substances.ORAC values, expressed in µM of Trolox® equivalents (TE), are calculated using the area under the curves(AUC) of the test product, Trolox®, and the control materials. Trolox equivalency is used as the benchmarkfor antioxidant capacity of mixtures since it is difficult to measure individual components.

Materials
A. Equipment: Synergy H1 Microplate reader (BioTek Instuments, Winooski, VT); Gen5 software (BioTek Instuments, Winooski, VT); Pipettes
B. Buffers: 75mM Potassium Phosphate (pH 7.4); Deionized H2O C. Reagents: 2,2′-Azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH) (153mM);
6-Hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox®); Fluorescein Sodium Salt (4nM)
D. Preparation: Pre-heat (37°C) Synergy H1 Microplate reader; Prepare Trolox® standards, sample dilutions, fluorescein solution, and AAPH.
E. Microtitre Plates: Corning 96 Well Black Side/Clear Bottom Microplates
Methods Solutions of AC Griffonia Lysate Advanced and Trolox® (positive control) were prepared in 75mM potassium phosphate buffer. Materials were prepared at three different concentrations/dilutions. Trolox® was used as a reference for antioxidant capacity and prepared at a concentrations ranging from 12.5µM to 200µM in 75mM potassium phosphate buffer. For the ORAC assay, 25µL of test material and Trolox® were combined with 150µL of fluorescein in 75mM potassium phosphate buffer and incubated in the Synergy HT Microplate reader at 37˚C for 30 minutes. At the end of the incubation period, 25µL of AAPH were pipetted into each well. Fluorescent measurements were then taken every 2 minutes for approximately 2 hours at an excitation wavelength of 485nm and an emissions wavelength of 520nm. The AUC and Net AUC values of the standards and samples were determined using Gen5 2.0 Data Reduction Software using the below equations:

𝑁𝑒𝑡 𝐴𝑈𝐶 = 𝐴𝑈𝐶𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 − 𝐴𝑈𝐶𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑘 The standard curve was obtained by plotting the Net AUC of different Trolox® concentrations against their concentration. ORAC values of samples were then calculated automatically using the Gen5 software to interpolate the sample’s Net AUC values against the Trolox® standard curve. ORAC measurements for the test material were expressed in micro moles Trolox® equivalents (µMTE), where 1 ORAC unit is equal to 1 µMTE.
