Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates through several key mechanisms: it is rich in antioxidant polyphenols that effectively neutralize free radicals, thereby mitigating cellular damage and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its inherent soothing and anti-inflammatory properties work to calm redness and irritation, promoting a more balanced complexion. By enhancing skin hydration and supporting the skin's natural barrier, it contributes to a soft, smooth, and supple feel. Furthermore, its vitamin C content aids in brightening the complexion, diminishing dark spots and hyperpigmentation, while also contributing to improved skin thickness and collagen restoration for enhanced elasticity.

Stability

Optimal stability and active compound efficacy are maintained within an acidic pH range of 3.5 to 5.5. High temperatures and prolonged heating can lead to a decrease in antioxidant activity and anthocyanin content, indicating the need for gentle processing. Similarly, elevated pH levels (e.g., 7.0 and 8.0) can significantly reduce flavonoid and antioxidant activity. Storage in light-protective packaging is crucial, as light exposure can diminish flavonoid and antioxidant efficacy.
