Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract exhibits its skin whitening effects primarily through high tyrosinase inhibition activity, consequently reducing melanin formation in B16F10 melanoma cells with efficacy comparable to or superior to arbutin. Its antioxidant capacity is demonstrated by significant DPPH radical scavenging activity. Additionally, it supports skin health by drawing moisture into the skin as a humectant, softening and smoothing as an emollient, and generally improving skin's condition.
