Skin Conditioning Skin Protecting Antioxidant Soothing Anti-inflammatory Hydrating Cell Regenerating Barrier Strengthening Anti-aging

Science

Mechanism of Action

The defatted Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower extract exerts its effects through a rich composition of polyphenols, amino acids, and vitamins. Its potent flavonoids, including quercetin and dihydroquercetin, function as antioxidative neuroprotectants, effectively scavenging free radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation to mitigate oxidative damage. The extract promotes skin regeneration, strengthens the natural barrier to prevent moisture loss, and stimulates cellular turnover. Furthermore, it aids in soothing irritated skin and reducing inflammation by blocking stress markers originating from sensory nerve cells, contributing to improved elasticity and overall radiance.
