Science

Mechanism of Action

This hydrolyzed extract primarily functions as a potent humectant and emollient, effectively attracting and retaining moisture within the stratum corneum while also creating a protective film to minimize transepidermal water loss, thereby significantly improving skin elasticity. Its rich composition of amino acids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids provides robust antioxidant defense, neutralizing free radicals and mitigating oxidative stress. This action supports cellular regeneration, reduces inflammatory responses, and reinforces the skin's natural barrier. Furthermore, it offers ancillary protection against UV-induced cellular aging and DNA damage, contributing to overall skin health and flexibility.
