Summary

Antioxidant Soothing Emollient Anti-acne Skin-protecting

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates through a complex blend of bioactive compounds, including diterpenes like Marrubiin, which deliver anti-inflammatory effects, and phenolic acids such as chlorogenic acid and phenylethanoids, providing potent antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits. Flavonoids further contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory profile. Together, these components shield the skin from free radicals, reduce irritation, strengthen the skin barrier, and promote healthy cellular regeneration and wound healing by enhancing fibroblast proliferation and cell migration.
