Science

This extract operates through a synergistic blend of bioactive compounds. Flavonoids (such as quercetin and kaempferol) and phenolic acids (including caffeic and chlorogenic acids) provide significant antioxidant protection against environmental stressors, alongside pronounced anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. Its high mucilage content ensures deep hydration by attracting and retaining moisture, while naturally occurring citric and malic acids gently regulate melanin synthesis, contributing to reduced hyperpigmentation and a more even skin tone. Furthermore, anthocyanins stimulate elastin production, enhancing skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines, complemented by astringent properties that help minimize pore visibility and manage sebum production.
