Science

Mechanism of Action

FOENICULUM VULGARE SEED EXTRACT acts primarily as an antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals and shielding skin cells from environmental damage, owing to its content of vitamins A, B, C, E, flavonoids, and oxidoreductase enzymes such as Superoxide Dismutase. It delivers anti-inflammatory and soothing effects, effectively diminishing redness and irritation. The extract supports the skin's natural moisture barrier, enhancing hydration. Its anti-aging properties stem from stimulating collagen production, which aids in reducing fine lines and improving elasticity. Additionally, it offers cleansing and detoxifying actions by loosening dead skin cells and improving microcirculation for impurity removal, while its antiseptic qualities may assist in treating blemishes.
