TriAct™ Kigelia
Collection: TriAct™ Targeted Actives | Product code: FG-TriAct-Kigelia-001
Ingredient format
A standardised, consistent, sustainable source of Kigelia africana from warm, frost free tropical climates with alluvial loam soil with a slightly acidic pH.
Why it is distinctive
A differentiated African body-and-face complex for brands seeking a firm-looking-skin and tone story in a formulation-ready format.
Benefit territory
Firm-looking skin, visible tone, antioxidant support, conditioning.
Evidence snapshot
Published Kigelia literature supports antioxidant and anti-inflammatory biological activity, but robust human cosmetic clinical evidence for firming remains limited. Finished formula clinical testing is recommended before quantified firming claims.
Best-fit applications
Body firming, neck and décolleté, facial emulsions, massage products, body oils and serums.
