Science

Mechanism of Action

ASPERGILLUS/ASPIDOSPERMA QUEBRACHO FERMENT operates on multiple levels within the skin. It effectively neutralizes harmful free radicals, thereby providing antioxidant protection against environmental stressors and premature aging. Its enzymatic action supports gentle exfoliation by facilitating the breakdown of keratin within dead skin cells, encouraging cellular renewal and promoting a smoother, more refined skin surface. Additionally, it imparts significant moisturizing benefits and contributes to an overall increase in skin luminosity. The ingredient further strengthens the skin's barrier function, reduces irritation, and assists in balancing the skin's microflora. Its composition may include compounds such as kojic acid, contributing to observed skin-brightening effects, and it can enhance the absorption and efficacy of other active ingredients in a formulation.
