Volpura® EPO is a unique anti-aging ingredient derived from Echinacea purpurea. A waterless botanical extract, Volpura® EPO addresses the signs of aging by supporting the skin’s natural plumping processes. Volpura® EPO combats wrinkles and sagging from within the skin to restore fuller, more youthful-looking skin.

With a new anhydrous formula, Volpura® EPO can be seamlessly incorporated into a wide range of applications, including hot pour and hot cast products such as lipsticks, lip balms, and lip glosses. Proven efficacy and stability at elevated temperatures up to 85°C make Volpura® EPO a valuable addition to any skincare formulation.

Volpura® EPO delivers plumping, firming effects to the skin by stimulating the skin’s adipocytes (fat cells). Efficacy testing demonstrates the ability of Volpura® EPO to upregulate fat production in adipocytes by up to five times through activation of the adipogenesis master regulator, PPAR-γ.

A premier anti-aging ingredient, Volpura® EPO is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including improvement of crow’s feet, at the nasolabial fold, and across the forehead, while also improving the skin’s firmness and elasticity by 14% and 44%, respectively. Clinical participants reported experiencing plumping effects, with skin on the face and hands looking and feeling noticeably younger after applying Volpura® EPO for 12 weeks.
