Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates through a synergistic blend of phytochemical actives, such as flavonoids, steroids, terpenes, phenols, and flavan-3-ol molecules. These components confer significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It actively protects the skin from oxidative stress induced by environmental factors like light irradiation and helps restore the skin's physiological pH, thereby countering signs of aging and darkening.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Moderate

While generally considered safe, a dermatological safety test revealed an allergic reaction in 4.0% of subjects when applied at a 5% concentration. However, no irritation or allergic reaction was observed at concentrations up to 3% in a Single Closed Patch Test, and no irritation at 5% in a Repeated Open Patch Test. The EWG Skin Deep database assigns a low concern rating for potential cancer, immunotoxicity, developmental/reproductive toxicity, and use restrictions.
