Science
Mechanism of Action
This resin operates through key active components such as taxifolin (dihydroquercetin) and various terpenoids. It functions as an antioxidant by effectively reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitigates inflammation by decreasing nitric oxide (NO) levels. Furthermore, Larix Kaempferi Resin exhibits properties that inhibit lipid accumulation and, based on studies with related Larix species, possesses antimicrobial activity contributing to skin protection and repair.
