Science
Mechanism of Action
The combined extracts of Alaria Esculenta and Undaria Pinnatifida operate through multiple pathways to rejuvenate the skin. Undaria Pinnatifida provides a rich supply of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which are crucial for maintaining skin moisture, stimulating the synthesis of collagen and elastin, and mitigating inflammation. It actively combats free radical damage, supports skin's structural integrity, and contributes to anti-pollution and detoxifying effects, resulting in a reduction of visible wrinkles and improved hydration. Alaria Esculenta complements these actions with its high content of polyphenols and flavonoids, offering superior antioxidant defense. Its significant polysaccharide content fortifies the skin barrier and prevents moisture evaporation, while its enzyme-modulating capabilities protect structural proteins from degradation and regulate melanin synthesis, leading to a brighter, more uniform skin tone.
