Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates by scavenging damaging free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by environmental aggressors, such as UVB radiation. It exhibits anti-apoptotic effects on human epidermal keratinocytes by decreasing ROS generation, improving mitochondrial function, and inhibiting caspase-3 activity, thereby preventing premature cellular death. This action collectively contributes to protecting skin protein structures, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhancing skin elasticity, and potentially diminishing hyperpigmentation for a more uniform complexion.
