Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient employs a multi-targeted approach, leveraging the distinct benefits of both fermented filtrates and Artemisia princeps. The Kluyveromyces and Lactobacillus ferments actively contribute to enhanced skin conditioning, providing significant antioxidant capabilities and overall skin protection. Fermentation with Lactobacillus is particularly notable for generating bioactive compounds that effectively inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators, such as interleukin-8 (IL-8), thereby reducing skin inflammation. Furthermore, Lactobacillus ferment is recognized for its potential to aid in DNA repair, defend against environmental aggressors, and exhibit antimicrobial properties, fostering a healthy skin microflora beneficial for managing problematic skin conditions. Artemisia princeps extract (mugwort) complements these actions with powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing effects. It works to calm the skin, visibly reduce redness, promote cellular regeneration, and fortify the skin barrier by enhancing the expression of essential proteins like filaggrin and loricrin. Its ability to prevent bacterial proliferation makes it highly advantageous for addressing concerns like acne and rosacea.
