Science
Mechanism of Action
This oil exerts its effects through a concentrated blend of phytochemicals such as polyphenols, terpenes, alkaloids, carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin E, and essential unsaturated fatty acids. These constituents provide powerful antioxidant activity by neutralizing free radicals and preventing lipid peroxidation, thereby safeguarding skin from oxidative stress and premature aging. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, antimicrobial action, and promotes wound repair via reepithelization and angiogenesis, critical processes involving fibroblasts and keratinocytes.
