DEFATTED VIBURNUM OPULUS FLOWER.

This ingredient functions by leveraging its diverse composition of bioactive compounds, such as chlorogenic acid, other phenolic compounds, flavonoids, vitamin C, carotenoids, and iridoids. It effectively combats oxidative stress by inhibiting oxygen-promoted reactions. In vitro studies indicate its capacity to positively influence cellular glucose and lipid metabolism, enhancing glucose uptake and reducing lipid accumulation. It also modulates inflammatory responses by decreasing the secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, it demonstrates antimicrobial potential, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria, while acting as a humectant to attract and retain moisture and an emollient to smooth and soften the skin.
