Science
Mechanism of Action
The extract functions by delivering a potent blend of polyphenols that act as free radical scavengers, thereby protecting cellular components from oxidative damage. It also works to inhibit specific oxidative enzymes and enhance the skin's natural antioxidant defense mechanisms, offering potential photoprotection and anti-aging benefits. Furthermore, preliminary research suggests potential antimicrobial activity, though its direct efficacy on human skin in this regard requires further investigation.
