Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract is notably rich in flavanones such as sterubin, homoeriodictyol, and eriodictyol, with eriodictyol specifically contributing to anti-inflammatory and antibacterial actions. Its high flavanone content provides potent free radical scavenging capabilities, offering substantial antioxidant defense against environmental stressors. Furthermore, the leaves of Yerba Santa are abundant in moisturizing mucopolysaccharides and glycoproteins, which enhance skin hydration and support a healthy barrier function.
