HYDROLYZED CRANBERRY FRUIT/LEAF EXTRACT.

This extract functions comprehensively to protect and enhance skin. Rich in polyphenols, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins (PACs), and Vitamin C, it provides significant antioxidant defense, neutralizing free radicals and mitigating oxidative stress. Its anti-inflammatory action is observed through the non-selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathways, which helps soothe irritated skin. For hydration, it improves barrier function and reduces transepidermal water loss, maintaining skin suppleness. The presence of arbutin contributes to skin brightening by inhibiting melanin synthesis, reducing hyperpigmentation and boosting radiance through enhanced cellular turnover. Furthermore, it offers anti-aging benefits by supporting the synthesis of vital skin proteins—collagen, elastin, and fibronectin—to improve firmness and diminish the appearance of fine lines. Its antibacterial properties, coupled with salicylic acid, target acne-causing bacteria and promote pore exfoliation for clearer skin.
