Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract primarily functions by inhibiting the synthesis of pro-inflammatory mediators, including nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor-necrosis factor (TNF-α), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in stimulated cells. It also down-regulates the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), TNF-α mRNA, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein. Its antioxidant action is attributed to its radical scavenging capacity. Furthermore, polysaccharide components within the extract contribute to its hydrating efficacy, and it has demonstrated potential in supporting overall skin barrier integrity and alleviating atopic dermatitis symptoms.
