For your skin
Highly biocompatible "cellular messengers" that literally tell your skin cells to stop panicking and start repairing. Excellent for severe redness and compromised barriers.

Nano-sized signaling vesicles derived from plant cells (primarily Centella Asiatica) that act as intercellular messengers to suppress inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha) and accelerate tissue repair.
Why we tier this anecdotal
2 cited papers across 2 countries. Most of what's cited here is mechanism-level or in-vitro work. We track this as Anecdotal until controlled clinical trials accumulate.
