Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract exerts its dermatological benefits primarily through its rich content of polyphenols, including procyanidins, catechins, and phenolic acids. These compounds function as potent antioxidants by scavenging reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, thereby inhibiting peroxide formation and elevating intracellular glutathione levels to boost natural antioxidant enzyme activity. Its anti-inflammatory action involves modulating cellular pathways governing inflammation and inhibiting inflammatory enzymes such as cyclooxygenase (COX). On the skin, it stimulates hyaluronic acid synthesis for improved hydration, and significantly enhances the production of collagen (specifically COL1A1 and COL1A2) and elastin, crucial for maintaining skin structural integrity. Furthermore, it confers protection against UV-induced damage, aids in repairing existing photodamage, and can improve microcirculation and reinforce the extracellular matrix.
