Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through a multi-pathway approach: it provides direct antioxidant neutralization via phenolic compounds like gallic and caffeic acids, while its 17 amino acids and B-vitamin complex support cellular conditioning and enzymatic processes. The mineral content (potassium and magnesium) helps maintain osmotic balance, ensuring optimal skin hydration and protection against oxidative stress.
