Summary

Antioxidant Anti-aging Skin conditioning Brightening Soothing

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functions through dual pathways of cellular protection and regeneration. The extract's polyphenolic compounds inhibit tyrosinase enzyme activity to reduce melanin production while simultaneously blocking pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1. Additionally, it stimulates fibroblast activity to enhance collagen and elastin synthesis, and provides cellular anti-aging benefits by inhibiting beta-galactosidase, a key marker of cellular senescence.
