Science
Mechanism of Action
The extract operates via a dual-action pathway: it activates the NRF2/HO-1 signaling system to neutralize oxidative stress while simultaneously inhibiting matrix-degrading enzymes like collagenase and hyaluronidase. This preserves the structural integrity of the dermis, while its high polysaccharide content acts as a biological humectant to increase epidermal hydration.
