Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract leverages its rich content of flavonoid and phenolic compounds to deliver potent antioxidant activity, effectively neutralizing free radicals and mitigating oxidative stress within skin cells. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions are attributed to active compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and saponins. Furthermore, it stimulates the division of fibroblasts and enhances the turnover of crucial structural proteins like collagen and elastin, leading to improved skin elasticity and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles. It also inhibits key enzymes involved in skin aging, such as elastase and collagenase, offers photoprotective and photostabilizing benefits, and improves skin hydration.

Key findings

  1. 01 Demonstrated a positive impact on cellular proliferation and metabolism, reducing oxidative stress in cells. It also exhibited the potential to decrease skin irritation in model cosmetic formulations (1% SCS).
  2. 02 Proven effective in enhancing skin moisture. The 5% concentration yielded the most significant increase in skin hydration, highest spreadability, and a substantial 34.92% reduction in skin wrinkles, alongside an increase in collagen fiber density.
  3. 03 A cream formulation revitalized skin and diminished signs of aging by boosting skin elasticity, promoting fibroblast division, and accelerating collagen and elastin turnover.
  4. 04 Exhibited a promising concentration-dependent anti-collagenase effect, supporting its role in combating enzymatic skin degradation.
