Science
Mechanism of Action
HYDROLYZED ZIZANIA LATIFOLIA LEAF/STEM EXTRACT operates by attracting and retaining environmental moisture within the stratum corneum, functioning as a humectant to maintain optimal skin hydration, softness, and smoothness. It actively conditions the skin, contributing to improved texture and vitality while mitigating transepidermal water loss. Furthermore, studies on broader Zizania latifolia extracts indicate capabilities in combating oxidative stress and modulating inflammatory responses. These effects suggest roles in preserving collagen integrity, inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity for anti-photoaging benefits, and neutralizing reactive oxygen species.
