Science
Mechanism of Action
Functioning primarily as a skin conditioning agent and humectant, this ingredient's action is derived from the synergistic properties of its botanical constituents. Forsythia Viridissima fruit contributes anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral activities. Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) root provides anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-androgenic benefits. Paeonia Lactiflora root offers additional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, while Platycodon Grandiflorus root exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial effects. Pueraria Lobata root further enhances these properties with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant profile. The hydrolysis process is hypothesized to improve the penetration and bioavailability of these beneficial compounds, thereby promoting skin conditioning, hydration, soothing effects, antioxidant protection, and potentially localized anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity.
