Mechanism of Action

Alpha- and beta-ionones provide antioxidant defense by neutralizing free radicals, while sesquiterpenes reduce inflammation and combat skin bacteria. The extract also inhibits MMP-1, lipoxygenase, and tyrosinase, thereby mitigating collagen degradation, sebum production, and melanin synthesis.
