Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through several mechanisms: it actively scavenges free radicals, demonstrating robust antioxidant activity that helps mitigate oxidative stress. Furthermore, its constituent Esculetin exhibits protective effects against photoaging by downregulating MMP-1 mRNA, thereby inhibiting collagen degradation. Additionally, it has demonstrated targeted antibacterial efficacy, particularly against Staphylococcus aureus, contributing to a balanced skin surface.
