Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract primarily conditions the skin, promoting a healthier feel and appearance. Its antioxidant action involves inhibiting DPPH radicals, a common indicator of free radical scavenging, which helps mitigate oxidative stress. Furthermore, compounds found in Alpinia mutica, consistent with other Alpinia species, are thought to confer antimicrobial effects and may modulate inflammatory responses, thus potentially supporting the skin's inherent immune functions.
