Science
Mechanism of Action
The extract utilizes a high concentration of betacyanins and flavonol glycosides to neutralize oxidative stress while mimicking the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) to reinforce the lipid barrier. Additionally, its natural astringent properties modulate pore appearance and surface smoothness without disrupting the skin's delicate pH balance.
