Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates by fortifying the epidermal layer with natural flavonoids and other active compounds, thereby strengthening the skin barrier and minimizing trans-epidermal water loss. It effectively neutralizes free radicals as an antioxidant and, for oily skin, precisely targets sebaceous lipogenesis through the LA and DHT pathways to decrease oil production. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory properties calm irritated skin, while natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) facilitate cellular renewal, and its ability to inhibit melanin contributes to skin brightening.
