Science

Mechanism of Action

Primarily through its high concentration of (-)-alpha-bisabolol, Myrocarpus Fastigiatus Oil exerts anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral effects. It actively promotes wound healing, acts as a potent anti-irritant, and calms sensitized skin. Additionally, it inhibits tyrosinase activity to reduce melanin production, functions as an antioxidant, and significantly enhances dermal permeation, facilitating deeper penetration of co-formulated active ingredients. The oil also contributes to improved skin elasticity, visible redness reduction, enhanced moisture barrier integrity, and increased resilience against environmental stressors.
