Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient utilizes 'Hyalurone B'—a complex of bioavailable polysaccharides—to establish a breathable, moisture-retentive film on the stratum corneum. Beyond surface hydration, its rich concentration of phenolic compounds (such as quercetin glycosides) modulates the NF-κB and MAPK pathways to suppress inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and IL-6.
