Science

The blend's efficacy stems from the synergistic actions of its botanical constituents. Morus Alba extracts, sourced from bark, root, and leaf, provide robust antioxidant defense by neutralizing free radicals, which are key contributors to premature skin aging. A primary mechanism involves the inhibition of tyrosinase, the enzyme crucial for melanin synthesis, thereby aiding in the reduction of hyperpigmentation and promoting a more uniform skin tone. Additionally, these mulberry derivatives impart moisturizing properties, enhance skin elasticity and softness, and reinforce the skin's protective barrier. Angelica Dahurica Root further augments these benefits with its established anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects.
