Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract is abundant in powerful antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids, which are vital for neutralizing free radicals, thereby protecting the skin from environmental stressors and supporting anti-aging efforts. It also demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties, aiming to calm irritation and foster skin healing. Moreover, it contributes to deep hydration and nourishment, promoting improved skin elasticity, barrier strength, and cellular renewal for a softer, more supple complexion. Preliminary research also indicates potential photoprotective and antimicrobial effects.
