Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates through a synergistic blend of vitamins (A, B1, C, E) and essential minerals (iron, calcium, potassium, lysine, tyrosine). Vitamin A facilitates increased cell turnover, contributing to skin revitalization. Its significant antioxidant capacity arises from the radical scavenging effects of key active compounds, including quercetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, luteolin, quercetin, and kaempferol. Additionally, it enhances skin microcirculation, which contributes to its nourishing, toning, softening, and smoothing benefits.
