Summary

Antioxidant Skin Brightening Anti-inflammatory Antimicrobial Soothing Astringent Pollution Protection

Science

Mechanism of Action

The extract functions as a potent antioxidant by inhibiting oxygen-favored reactions and actively scavenging free radicals. Its skin-brightening efficacy stems from significantly reducing tyrosinase activity, decreasing melanin content, and downregulating α-MSH-induced expression of tyrosinase and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). Furthermore, it exhibits antimicrobial properties, specifically inhibiting *Propionibacterium acnes*, and pronounced anti-inflammatory effects attributed to its flavonoid and triterpene content, which includes β-amyrin, and by blocking NADPH oxidase (NOX) activation to protect keratinocytes from pollutant-induced damage. The extract also possesses astringent qualities, contributing to refined skin pores.
