Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract functions by neutralizing free radicals (DPPH and H2O2) and suppressing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators, including nitric oxide and superoxide. Additionally, it exhibits antihistaminic properties that help mitigate skin reactivity and antimicrobial activity against common pathogens like S. aureus, supporting a balanced microbiome.
