Skin Conditioning Moisturizing Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Anti-aging Lymphatic Drainage Support Antimicrobial Masking

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions primarily through its rich phytochemical profile, including coumarins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and tannins. These compounds confer potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial benefits, while also strengthening the skin barrier and delivering profound hydration. Coumarins specifically aid in lymphatic drainage. When formulated with Bellis Perennis, it has been shown to induce heme oxygenase and VEGF-C, activate autophagy, increase cellular functionality and energy, and diminish melanin synthesis, which collectively contributes to reduced dark circles and puffiness under the eyes.
