Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract exerts its beneficial effects through a rich composition of polyphenolic compounds, including flavonoids like quercetin and tannins. It functions as a powerful antioxidant, effectively scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitigating oxidative damage to cellular structures. Its anti-inflammatory action is supported by the reduction of inflammatory mediators such as iNOS and COX-2. Furthermore, it acts as an astringent to refine pore appearance, possesses antiseptic qualities for skin purification, and helps regulate sebum production. The extract also contributes to maintaining skin hydration, elasticity, and shows potential to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by inhibiting elastase, and brighten hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase.
