Science

This extract delivers a powerful blend of vitamins (A, C, E, B-vitamins), minerals, and a diverse range of antioxidants including polyphenols, anthocyanins, and flavonoids. It functions by neutralizing free radicals, thereby shielding skin from environmental damage and mitigating signs of premature aging like fine lines and dark spots. Its humectant qualities help retain moisture, creating a protective film to prevent dehydration and maintain skin suppleness. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory compounds reduce redness and irritation, while vitamin C contributes to a brighter, more even skin tone. The extract also promotes collagen synthesis, strengthens the skin barrier, aids in wound healing, and improves microcirculation, particularly beneficial for reducing under-eye dark circles.
