Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract exerts its effects primarily through its rich composition of polyphenolic compounds, including catechin, luteolin, eriodictyol, and naringenin. These compounds are instrumental in neutralizing free radicals, thereby providing antioxidant defense, and in mitigating inflammatory responses within the skin. Its attributed 'bleaching' function suggests a potential influence on melanin synthesis pathways, contributing to a more uniform and brighter complexion.
