Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract functions by modulating inflammatory pathways via its flavonoid and polysaccharide content, thereby alleviating skin redness and irritation. It also exhibits antioxidant capabilities, neutralizing free radicals to shield against environmental oxidative stress and bolster epidermal resilience. This action supports barrier function, contributing to enhanced hydration, while its mild conditioning and astringent properties further refine skin texture.
