Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract acts predominantly as a skin conditioning agent. Its mechanism involves the action of flavonoids, such as Icariin, which scavenge free radicals, providing antioxidant protection against environmental stressors. Icariin has also been observed to bind to critical anti-inflammatory target proteins like COX-2 and NF-κB, suggesting its capacity to modulate inflammatory pathways within the skin.
