Science
Mechanism of Action
The primary mechanism of Juniperus Virginiana Extract Epoxidized in skincare is its contribution as a fragrance agent. While non-epoxidized forms of Juniperus Virginiana are anecdotally noted for astringent, purifying, soothing, and antioxidant properties, there is no confirmed mechanism of action or demonstrated efficacy for the epoxidized version when applied topically.
