Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract acts as a powerful antioxidant, effectively shielding skin from free radical damage. Its significant anti-inflammatory properties are thought to involve the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) pathways, though specific inhibition percentages often refer to other Eremophila species. Rich in natural compounds such as chlorogenic acid (CGA), ferulic acid, isorhamnetin, quercetin, and verbascoside, the extract also exhibits antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral qualities, historically utilized as an antiseptic. It facilitates wound healing, reduces skin dullness, and diminishes the appearance of dark spots, while contributing to anti-wrinkle activity and maintaining skin firmness and flexibility.
