Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract primarily functions as a tyrosinase inhibitor through its flavonoid constituent, mirkoin. By competitively inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme crucial for melanin synthesis, it effectively suppresses pigment production, leading to skin brightening. Additionally, it provides antioxidant protection and antimicrobial benefits to the skin.
