Science

Mechanism of Action

HIBISCUS ABELMOSCHUS FLOWER/SEED WATER contains water-soluble components such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, organic acids, vitamins (including Vitamin C), and minerals. These compounds provide antioxidant benefits, protect against oxidative stress, and facilitate gentle exfoliation and pH balance. Natural polysaccharides within the ingredient attract and retain moisture on the skin's surface, while its mucilage content forms a protective layer to prevent water loss and bolster the skin's natural barrier. Vitamin C actively targets hyperpigmentation, promotes cellular turnover, and stimulates collagen production, thereby enhancing skin elasticity, firmness, and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Research indicates that a Hibiscus Abelmoschus seed extract can maintain Fibroblast Growth Factors-2 (FGF-2) content in the skin by mimicking heparan sulfate proteoglycans, which prevents FGF-2 degradation and stimulates the synthesis of protective sulfated Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), supporting tissue repair and mitigating signs of aging.
