ABIES SACHALINENSIS BRANCH/LEAF WATER.

Optional CAS - / FRAGRANCE

A water distillate derived from the branches and leaves of Sakhalin fir, this ingredient delivers gentle antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits while serving as a natural fragrance component. Beyond its primary masking function, it contains bioactive terpenes and polyphenols that support skin barrier integrity and provide environmental protection against airborne pollutants.

Summary

masking perfuming antioxidant anti-inflammatory

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functions through dual pathways: bioactive terpenes and polyphenols suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to preserve collagen structure, while simultaneously neutralizing environmental oxidants like nitrogen dioxide for comprehensive skin protection.
