GATULINE® EXPRESSION arises from a precise intuition: to offer a rapid, safe, and effective solution to diminish expression lines, leveraging the power of nature. The active ingredient is extracted from the aerial part of Acmella oleracea, a tropical plant known and used for centuries for its beneficial properties. Originating from Peru and Brazil, also cultivated in Madagascar and La Réunion, this plant – also known as “Mafane” – contains a key molecule: spilanthol, responsible for its powerful muscle-relaxing activity.

How expression lines form and how GATULINE® EXPRESSION counteracts them

Expression lines are the result of thousands of micro-contractions of facial muscles that repeat every day. Over time, these movements create visible furrows on the skin, which are accentuated by environmental and emotional stress. GATULINE® EXPRESSION acts precisely on this mechanism: it reduces the frequency of muscle contractions without completely blocking them, maintaining the face’s natural expressiveness. In vitro tests show that even at a 0.6% concentration, the extract is capable of inducing complete muscle relaxation, an effect that is reversible and safe.

The results of the clinical study: smoother skin in record time

Two clinical studies on volunteers with “crow’s feet” wrinkles confirmed the efficacy of GATULINE® EXPRESSION:

• After only 28 days of use, a cream containing 2% GATULINE® EXPRESSION significantly reduced skin roughness compared to placebo.
• The results were measured using Fringe Projection technology, an advanced optical method that guarantees precise data without direct skin contact. Improvement was perceptible as early as the day after the first application in 75% of volunteers.

Within the Armonita Skincare line, GATULINE® EXPRESSION is a key ingredient in:
