Science
Mechanism of Action
This botanical water functions as a complex delivery system for sesquiterpenes, adenosine, and phenolic compounds. It neutralizes oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals, while its unique blend of nucleotides and amino acids supports cellular hydration. Furthermore, it exhibits natural antimicrobial properties and aids in maintaining the integrity of the dermal matrix by inhibiting degradative enzymes.
