Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates through multiple biochemical pathways to improve skin vitality. Its anti-inflammatory action is evidenced by the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6, and MCP-1, which alleviates skin lesions, reduces erythema, and prevents hyperkeratosis and epidermal hyperplasia. As a potent antioxidant, it helps mitigate skin aging by preventing elastin degradation, stimulating collagen synthesis, and blocking the formation of Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs) via the NF-kβ pathway. Additionally, it exhibits antibacterial efficacy against strains like Streptococcus pyogenes. For skin conditioning, it functions as a humectant to retain moisture and promotes cholesterol secretion in epidermal cells, a crucial sebum component, which can improve the texture of oily and rough skin.
