Science

Mechanism of Action

This oil operates through several key pathways. It stimulates the expression of crucial collagen genes (COL16A1, COL3A1, COL6A1) and biglycan (BGN), vital for maintaining the extracellular matrix and promoting collagen fibril assembly. Rich in bioactive compounds like rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid derivatives, it exhibits potent antioxidant activity by neutralizing free radicals. Additionally, it offers anti-inflammatory and broad-spectrum antimicrobial benefits.
