Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates through a multi-faceted mechanism: it acts as a powerful antioxidant, mitigating oxidative stress by neutralizing over 90% of free radicals within an hour. It precisely inhibits melanin production induced by α-MSH and demonstrates tyrosinase inhibitory activity, measured at four times greater than arbutin. Furthermore, it offers direct protection by effectively absorbing UVA radiation. Its efficacy is attributed to a rich composition of anthocyanins, polyphenols, and several potent flavonoids.
