Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions via its complex profile of bioactive compounds, including trans-anethole, anisaldehyde, eugenol, and various polyphenols. These constituents confer robust antioxidant effects, protecting the skin from environmental aggressors, alongside anti-inflammatory properties that aid in reducing redness. It also acts as a natural emollient, contributing to skin hydration and preventing tightness, and functions as an astringent to refine pore appearance. Furthermore, its inherent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activities support a healthy skin microbiome.
