Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates by inhibiting oxygen-promoted reactions, thereby acting as an antioxidant to prevent the oxidation and deterioration of other ingredients. It also helps regulate the proliferation of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi on the skin, maintaining a healthy microbial balance. Furthermore, it functions as a humectant to draw moisture to the skin and provides general skin and hair conditioning and protecting benefits.
