Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates through multiple pathways to enhance skin health. Its rich profile of phytochemicals, including flavonoids and chalcones, contributes to its potent antioxidant capacity, neutralizing free radicals and protecting against oxidative damage. Furthermore, it exhibits targeted antibacterial activity, notably against common skin flora like *Staphylococcus epidermidis* and *Staphylococcus aureus*, which can be implicated in various skin conditions, including acne. Myrica Cerifera Leaf Extract also demonstrates soothing effects by potentially inhibiting inflammatory mediators such as NF-kB, thereby calming skin and reducing redness.
