Science

Mechanism of Action

Cryptomeria Japonica Branch/Leaf Extract primarily functions as an antioxidant, combating free radical damage largely due to its rich polyphenol content. It demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties, reducing redness and discomfort, and exhibits antibacterial action against common acne-causing bacteria like *Propionibacterium acnes* and *Staphylococcus epidermidis*. Furthermore, it contributes to skin protection and barrier integrity, enhances hydration as a humectant, improves elasticity, and has shown potential for skin revitalization and inhibiting melanin production.
