Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through a complex synergy of phytochemicals: tannins provide a mild astringent effect to refine skin texture, while saponins and mucilage accelerate the regenerative phase of wound healing. Its high flavonoid content (hyperoside and ferulic acid) neutralizes oxidative stress and down-regulates IL-8, a primary mediator of skin inflammation.
