Science
Mechanism of Action
This botanical water acts as a delivery system for hydrophilic antioxidants, including Vitamin C and provitamin A (beta-carotene). It works by neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by environmental stressors while modulating sebaceous gland activity to maintain lipid balance and supporting the skin's natural regenerative cycle.
