Science
Mechanism of Action
This hydrosol delivers a matrix of curcuminoids, flavonoids, and terpenoids that modulate inflammatory cytokines to reduce erythema and irritation. It acts as a multi-functional bioactive by inhibiting tyrosinase activity to prevent melanin overproduction while providing an antimicrobial shield and stimulating collagen synthesis to improve structural resilience.
