Science

Mechanism of Action

This botanical extract functions through a multi-pronged approach. It contains tannins, which confer natural astringent qualities, and kaempferol glycosides, known for their potent antioxidant capacity that effectively reduces oxidative stress at a cellular level. It actively inhibits oxygen-dependent reactions to prevent oxidation and exhibits antimicrobial activity by impeding the proliferation of microorganisms on the skin. Furthermore, Osmunda Regalis Leaf Extract is observed to reinforce the skin's inherent collagen, diminish hyperpigmentation, and soothe inflammation, while also promoting cellular regeneration and offering protection against environmental aggressors and UV damage, contributing to a brighter, more uniform skin tone.
