What Is Peucedanum Graveolens Extract?
Peucedanum graveolens extract is derived from dill seeds, a herb commonly used in cooking and traditional medicine. In skincare, it functions as a tonic ingredient with a specific focus on the structural proteins that maintain skin's elasticity.
The extract works by potentially influencing enzymes responsible for cross-linking elastin and collagen fibres — the structural scaffolding that keeps skin firm and resilient.
How It Works
As skin ages, the enzymes responsible for maintaining elastic fibres naturally decline. One key enzyme, lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL), cross-links the proteins that form elastin and collagen structures. When LOXL activity drops, elastic fibres weaken and skin loses firmness.
Research suggests dill extract may help maintain or upregulate LOXL expression in skin cells, potentially supporting the continued stability of elastic fibres and helping skin maintain its structural integrity.
Clinical Evidence & References
In vitro studies have shown that dill seed extract can increase LOXL expression in cultured dermal fibroblasts. Initial in vivo research suggests a correlation between laboratory measurements and skin elasticity improvements measured on living skin.
However, this ingredient remains relatively understudied compared to established elasticity-supporting actives. Evidence is emerging but not yet extensive, so further clinical confirmation would be valuable before drawing firm conclusions about efficacy in routine use.

How to Use
Dill extract is typically found in serums, moisturisers and toners at low concentrations. It can be used as part of a regular skincare routine without special application requirements. Pair it with other elasticity-supporting ingredients such as peptides or retinoids for complementary benefits.
