Science
Mechanism of Action
It functions by delivering high levels of natural silica to the skin's surface, which aids in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and supports collagen framework integrity. Its flavonoid content neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS), effectively mitigating lipid peroxidation and shielding the skin from environmental oxidative stress.
