Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract undergoes a hydrolysis process, breaking down larger molecules into smaller, more bioavailable components for superior skin penetration. It delivers a potent blend of amino acids, peptides, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, notably Vitamin C, alongside various minerals and robust antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids. This unique composition empowers the ingredient to significantly boost skin moisture retention and elasticity, mitigate inflammation, and stimulate cellular regeneration. Its strong antioxidant activity neutralizes free radicals, thereby protecting against environmental aggressors, premature aging, and transepidermal water loss, while also reinforcing the skin barrier and contributing to defense against UV-induced cellular damage.
