Science

Mechanism of Action

Gnaphalium Leontopodium Flower Extract, commonly known as Edelweiss extract, delivers robust antioxidant protection via compounds like leontopodic acid, chlorogenic acid, flavonoids, and polyphenols, neutralizing free radicals induced by UV and pollution. Its anti-inflammatory properties, stemming from components such as leontopodic acid and luteolin, effectively soothe irritation and redness. The extract also supports anti-aging by safeguarding collagen and elastin from degradation, promoting skin elasticity and firmness, and stimulating new cell generation. Furthermore, it reinforces the skin barrier by upregulating keratin 15 genes, aids moisture retention through plant sugars and beta-sitosterol, and exhibits antibacterial action.
