Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates by enhancing the skin's inherent hydration mechanisms, including replenishing water reservoirs and fortifying skin cohesion to counteract dehydration. It effectively minimizes transepidermal water loss by strengthening corneocyte bonds and stimulating the production of essential barrier lipids such as free fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides within the stratum corneum. Rich in lipophilic compounds like tocopherols and phytol, the stem extract also promotes cellular renewal. Furthermore, preclinical studies suggest it possesses potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, alongside potential to reduce melanin production for a more even skin tone.
