Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates through several key pathways to enhance skin health. It exhibits significant antioxidant activity, neutralizing harmful free radicals and reducing oxidative stress. Its anti-inflammatory effects help to soothe irritation and redness, while antimicrobial capabilities (antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic) protect against pathogens. Crucially, it promotes wound healing by stimulating fibroblast migration, essential for tissue repair and collagen synthesis. There is also emerging evidence suggesting potential benefits in UV protection.
