Science
Mechanism of Action
Works through multiple pathways by scavenging free radicals (DPPH and nitric oxide), inhibiting pro-inflammatory enzymes, and promoting cellular renewal. The bioactive phytoconstituents including flavonoids and tannins provide comprehensive antioxidant protection while beta-sitosterol helps maintain skin barrier function and reduces inflammation.
