PANICUM MILIACEUM SEED EXTRACT

PANICUM MILIACEUM SEED EXTRACT: what it is
PANICUM MILIACEUM SEED EXTRACT is an extract made from the seeds of Panicum miliaceum L., commonly known as proso millet. It is not simply whole millet grain ground into a powder: the label name identifies a preparation obtained from the seed.
Panicum miliaceum belongs to the grass family, Poaceae. That botanical detail distinguishes this ingredient from other materials called millet: the name points to P. miliaceum specifically and to its seeds as the plant material.
PANICUM MILIACEUM SEED EXTRACT: what it does in cosmetics
In skin-care products, PANICUM MILIACEUM SEED EXTRACT is used for skin conditioning and smoothing. For the person using the product, conditioning means contributing to a softer feel and a less rough-looking surface; the result felt on skin depends on the complete formula and the amount used.
One hair-related study evaluated a complex containing millet extract and wheat extract in dermal papilla cells and mice, with oral administration in the animal model. That result does not show that isolated proso millet seed extract, applied to skin or scalp, grows hair or treats hair loss.
