LINDERA ERYTHROCARPA ADVENTITIOUS ROOT EXTRACT.

This extract targets multiple pathways to support skin health. Its anti-inflammatory action is primarily achieved by inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production, suppressing the expression of inflammatory proteins iNOS and COX-2, and blocking NF-κB activation. For antioxidant protection, it activates the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, crucial for cellular defense against oxidative stress. Furthermore, it demonstrates the ability to inhibit melanin biosynthesis, contributing to a brighter complexion, and provides dermatoprotection against UVA-induced oxidative damage. As a humectant, it actively binds and retains moisture within cosmetic formulations, thereby supporting skin hydration.
