Antioxidant Skin-conditioning Humectant Soothing Anti-inflammatory Antibacterial Skin Brightening Collagen Boosting Microbiome Balancing

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions as a potent antioxidant by actively neutralizing harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS), primarily due to its rich content of flavonoids such as linarin and luteolin, which offer defense against environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution. It exerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting UV-induced inflammation and reducing key inflammatory mediators including IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and nitric oxide (NO), thereby calming irritation and diminishing redness. Furthermore, Chrysanthemum Indicum Extract exhibits antibacterial and antiviral properties, which can aid in managing acne and inhibiting the proliferation of various detrimental bacteria. It contributes to skin conditioning by promoting hydration, enhancing skin texture and elasticity, and has been observed to stimulate collagen production. Its ability to dose-dependently inhibit tyrosinase activity and reduce melanin levels supports skin brightening, while also assisting in balancing the skin's natural microbiome.
