narcissus tazetta bulb extract

Narcissus tazetta bulb extract is a botanical extract derived from the bulbs of the Bunch-flowered Daffodil. It contains natural growth inhibitors known as "dormins," which are substances produced by plants to maintain dormancy and protect against environmental stress. When applied topically, this extract is designed to capture the plant's dormant state to slow down human cell proliferation, specifically targeting the hair follicle matrix. By inhibiting the proliferation of keratinocytes and inducing the transition of the hair follicle from the anagen (growth) phase to the telogen (resting) phase, it effectively reduces hair shaft elongation and delays hair regrowth. It is primarily investigated for cosmetic applications and the treatment of dermatological conditions such as hirsutism.
