Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Antimicrobial Regenerative Astringent Emollient Fragrance Masking Conditioning Agent Barrier Support

Science

Mechanism of Action

This oil bolsters the skin's natural barrier, effectively minimizing transdermal water loss and promoting profound hydration. It stimulates the renewal of skin cells, leading to improved texture and suppleness, and exhibits potent antioxidant properties that neutralize free radicals, safeguarding dermal cells from oxidative stress and DNA damage. Its anti-inflammatory action soothes irritation and reduces edema, while its broad-spectrum antimicrobial (antibacterial and antifungal) properties support a balanced skin microbiome and accelerate wound healing. Additionally, it acts as a natural astringent, refining the appearance of enlarged pores, and offers firming and toning benefits.
