Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract functions by effectively neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DPPH radicals, thereby mitigating oxidative stress at a cellular level. Its anti-inflammatory action is achieved through the suppression of key inflammatory mediators, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), contributing to a calmer skin environment.
