Anemarrhena Asphodeloides Root Extract

Anemarrhena asphodeloides root extract is derived from the rhizomes of the Zhi Mu plant, a flowering herb native to East Asia and widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. It contains active compounds including sarsasapogenin, timosaponins (particularly timosaponin A-III), nyasol, and mangiferin, which together deliver anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and skin-conditioning effects. In cosmetics it is best known under the trade name Volufiline (by Sederma/Croda), a standardised sarsasapogenin preparation that stimulates adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation to create a cosmetic plumping effect.
