Summary

Hydrating Antioxidant Anti-pollution Skin-strengthening Collagen Boosting Barrier Support Humectant Firming Anti-aging

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates at a cellular level, stimulating the production of vital proteins like desmosomes and keratins to fortify the skin barrier and improve cellular cohesion. Its potent polyphenols confer antioxidant protection against environmental free radicals, while polysaccharides and its humectant nature ensure robust moisture retention. Crucially, it boosts collagen synthesis and inhibits collagenase activity, thereby maintaining collagen fiber integrity, and also promotes glycosaminoglycan production for enhanced hydration and firmness. Furthermore, it establishes a protective shield against environmental pollutants.
