Coleus Forskohlii Oil
Coleus Forskholii Oil - Bornyl acetate and Decanal from Coleus
Extracted from the roots of Coleus Forskholii as well as the Forslean product (which is titrated to it as Forskholin), the oil (also aromatic) is dosed with specific active ingredients: alpha and beta pinenes.
This oil is mainly used for its very strong antimicrobial activity, especially against acne, sometimes with Vitex agnus oil (Vitex Oil), and as a natural preservative (also sometimes with vitex oil or neemoids).
This oil brings 15% Bornyl acetate and 15% Decanal. Aromatic oil that imparts a pleasing delicate aroma with spicy note. Found to effectively inhibits the growth of skin pathogens and to be more effective than Lavender oil / Bergamot oil and equivalent to Clindamycin (studies). Anti-acne
Coleus - Coleus, Plectranthus barbatus or Indian Coleus, source of forskolin and decanal
Coleus forskohlii (or Plectranthus barbatus) commonly known as Coleus of India, grows in the mountains of Asia, and more particularly in the tropics and subtropials of Southeast Asia. Used for millennia in Ayurvedic medicine, Coleus forskohlii was then used to treat cardiovascular, respiratory (asthma), ophthalmological and skin disorders.

Coleus forskihlii is the only known plant source of forskolin, a natural compound which gives it its slimming properties and protects the skin. This diterpene is a non-adrenergic stimulator of adenylate cyclase, an enzyme that plays a role in thermogenesis and the use of fat cells for energy. It’s also why it’s used in anti-cellulite cream and – indirectly – for tanning. About the Coleus oil, it was found to more effectively inhibit the growth of skin pathogens than the well known tea tree oil as well as Lavender oil, and Bergamot oil. It was found to be equivalent to Clindamycin.
The primary mode of action of forskolin is to increase cellular concentrations of functions mediated by cyclic AMP (cAMP), via activation of the enzyme Adelylate cyclase (referred as the "second messenger"). Cyclic AMP facilitates the action of "primary messengers" or various hormonal and bioactive substances in the body (such as insulin). By facilitating hormonal action, cyclic AMP can help increase metabolic rate and thermogenesis. These events correspond to the accumulation of lean mass. Typically, an increase in cyclic AMP leads to subsequent activation of protein kinase. Protein kinase has been shown to activate hormone-sensitive lipase that is involved in the breakdown of triglycerides, known as the building blocks of fatty tissue. These events correspond to the decrease in body fat.
