Science
Mechanism of Action
The mechanism of action is multifaceted, leveraging both the fermented component and the botanical extract. Lactobacillus ferments are known to support a healthy skin microbiome, vital for barrier function, while also delivering hydration, improving elasticity, and calming inflammation. These ferments can further offer anti-aging benefits by moderating enzymes linked to collagen and elastin degradation, and by stimulating the skin's natural defense peptides, beta-defensins. The fermentation process itself aids in breaking down complex molecules, enhancing the bioavailability of beneficial compounds. Separately, Sorbus commixta extract contributes anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and has shown potential to influence melanocyte activity and reduce key inflammatory cytokines like IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α.
