Science
Mechanism of Action
It functions as a skin brightener by inhibiting tyrosinase activity and reducing melanin production (melanogenesis). Additionally, it exerts anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing NF-κB signaling and decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines, while its rich flavonoids provide oxidative stress protection.
