Antioxidant Antimicrobial Anti-inflammatory Wound Healing Collagen Synthesis Skin Tonic Astringent Moisturizing Emollient Skin Balancing Cell Renewal Elasticity Enhancer

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract derives its antioxidant power from a rich composition of flavonoids and phenolic acids, effectively neutralizing free radicals. It demonstrates antimicrobial activity beneficial for managing blemish-prone skin and exerts anti-inflammatory effects to soothe irritation and diminish redness. The ingredient also stimulates collagen synthesis and promotes wound healing, contributing to enhanced skin regeneration and elasticity. It acts as a skin tonic, subtly tightening and balancing sebum production across different skin zones, while its moisturizing and emollient properties replenish hydration and reinforce the skin's protective barrier against moisture loss.
