Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract functions through multiple pathways, acting as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals. Its anti-aging effects are attributed to elastase activity suppression, while skin brightening results from inhibiting tyrosinase and melanogenesis. Furthermore, it demonstrates anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and antidermatitic properties, and exhibits antimicrobial activity against Propionibacterium acnes, primarily due to its rich content of flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and naphthoquinones.
