Science

Mechanism of Action

Rich in key flavonoids such as rutin, quercetin, and genistein, Hydrolyzed Sophora Japonica Fruit Extract provides powerful antioxidant activity to combat damage from free radicals, UV radiation, and environmental pollution. It effectively reduces redness and irritation through its anti-inflammatory properties, and supports a robust skin barrier by influencing keratinocyte differentiation. Furthermore, it aids in brightening the complexion by inhibiting melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity, while also stimulating collagen production to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, thereby enhancing skin elasticity and moisture. Potential antimicrobial benefits may also help address acne-causing bacteria.
