Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract combats oxidative stress by acting as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals that cause skin damage and accelerate aging. It possesses anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce chronic inflammation within the skin. Furthermore, it stimulates the body's natural production of hyaluronic acid, enhances collagen synthesis, improves blood circulation, and supports skin regeneration, thereby promoting anti-aging benefits and reducing the appearance of skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation.
