Emollient Skin-conditioning Antimicrobial Antifungal Anti-inflammatory Antioxidant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This seed oil operates as an antimicrobial by inhibiting the proliferation of various microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, on the skin's surface. Its emollient action works to soften and smooth the skin's texture, improving its overall feel and appearance. Furthermore, research indicates that broader extracts and essential oils from Clausena lansium possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities, potentially modulating inflammatory pathways and inhibiting specific bacterial growth by altering cell membrane permeability.
