Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions as a potent antioxidant, utilizing flavonoids and phenols to neutralize free radicals and mitigate oxidative stress, thereby improving skin elasticity and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its hydrating capabilities stem from polysaccharides and mucilage, which draw moisture from the environment to soothe and moisturize dry or irritated skin. Saponins contribute to its anti-inflammatory properties, while steroidal alkaloids and furosteroid soaps may accelerate wound healing. Furthermore, the extract offers antimicrobial action through flavonoids, phenolic acids, and steroidal saponins disrupting microbial cell walls, and tannins act as an astringent to refine pores and gently exfoliate by complexing with proteins, aiding in dead skin cell removal. Some evidence also points to its ability to inhibit melanin synthesis, potentially offering a skin brightening effect.
