Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient physically removes surface impurities through a gentle grinding and polishing action. It actively functions as a skin-protecting agent, shielding the skin from environmental influences. Rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, it delivers powerful antioxidant benefits, neutralizing free radicals and supporting overall anti-aging efforts. Evidence from related Artemisia species suggests capabilities in balancing skin condition, soothing sensitivity, reducing redness, combating dryness, irritation, and minor inflammation. Furthermore, it provides deep moisturizing properties by forming a protective layer that helps maintain optimal skin hydration, can enhance the expression of key skin barrier proteins like filaggrin and loricrin, and exhibits antibacterial and antifungal activities.
