Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates via several distinct pathways: it deeply moisturizes and calms irritation, concurrently enhancing the skin's inherent protective capabilities. Its potent antioxidant action combats oxidative stress, a primary driver of skin aging, and supports cellular regeneration. The Inonotus obliquus component specifically contributes anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties by modulating antioxidant enzymes, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). Fermentation processes significantly elevate the bioavailability and potency of beneficial compounds, such as polyphenols, thereby amplifying the overall antioxidant efficacy.
