Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions primarily as a skin protecting agent, leveraging the inherent properties of polysaccharides to moisturize, condition, and form a protective film on the skin's surface. Drawing from its parent plant, Lindera aggregata, these hydrolyzed polysaccharides are believed to deliver robust antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. Furthermore, they are expected to stimulate cellular metabolism and significantly boost the natural production of critical barrier proteins like filaggrin and loricrin, alongside antimicrobial peptides, thereby strengthening the skin's defense mechanisms and promoting rejuvenation.
