Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions as a robust antioxidant, actively shielding the skin from free radical-induced damage and moderating the production of aggressive free radicals by inflammatory cells. It stimulates dermal fibroblasts to enhance the natural production of collagen and elastin, crucial for improving skin elasticity and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. Possessing anti-inflammatory properties, it can help calm redness associated with conditions such as eczema, rosacea, or post-acne irritation. Furthermore, it acts as a skin conditioning agent and emollient, promoting skin softness, smoothing texture, maintaining optimal water balance, and boosting moisture retention. The peptides within the egg yolk may also contribute to anti-aging, skin-firming, and acne-fighting attributes, with the hydrolysis process significantly improving protein solubility for enhanced formulation efficacy.
