Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through a rich blend of phytochemicals including carbohydrates, glycosides, alkaloids, proteins, amino acids, phytosterols, tannins, and flavonoids. These compounds are believed to confer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, astringent, and antiseptic properties. Its notable wound healing capacity is potentially mediated by increasing collagen concentration and stabilizing collagen fibers within the skin matrix.
