Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract functions by modulating the inflammatory response, specifically inhibiting NF-κB nuclear translocation to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and TNF-α. It provides advanced cellular protection by stabilizing telomeres against oxidative stress and blocking calcium-induced histamine release from mast cells, while concurrently upregulating collagen synthesis for structural integrity.

Transparency
Dusting Analysis
While often included for marketing appeal due to its traditional herbal heritage, concentrations below 0.5% lack the bioactive density required to trigger measurable physiological changes in hydration or blemish reduction.
