Science
Mechanism of Action
The extract utilizes a high concentration of omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids to integrate into the skin's lipid matrix, effectively sealing in moisture and preventing transepidermal water loss. Its profile of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and carotenoids neutralizes oxidative stress caused by environmental pollutants. Furthermore, enzymatic components like superoxide dismutase and catalase facilitate cellular repair and promote a brighter, more even skin tone by mitigating free radical damage.
