Mechanism of Action

Its rich antioxidant profile helps neutralize free radicals, safeguarding skin from environmental oxidative stress. Phalaenopsis Amabilis Extract also stimulates skin cell metabolism and regeneration, strengthening cell membranes and bolstering the skin's immune response. Furthermore, it has demonstrated an ability to inhibit tyrosinase and melanocyte activity, reducing melanin production and contributing to a brighter complexion.
