Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates through multiple pathways. Its rich profile of vitamin E derivatives, phenolics, and flavonoids provides robust antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, neutralizing free radicals that contribute to premature aging and dullness. Crucially, it inhibits the collagenase enzyme, thereby minimizing collagen breakdown and preserving skin elasticity. Furthermore, it creates a protective barrier to support moisture retention and offers antimicrobial benefits, contributing to overall skin health and vitality.
