Antioxidant Anti-aging Moisturizing Skin conditioning Collagen Boosting Keratinocyte Growth Promoting

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions as a powerful antioxidant by effectively neutralizing oxygen free radicals and scavenging DPPH radicals. Its anti-aging efficacy is attributed to stimulating keratinocyte proliferation, promoting the biosynthesis of Type 1 procollagen through the reduction of MMP-I (matrix metalloproteinase-1) activity, and inhibiting elastase and collagenase enzymes, thereby preserving skin's structural integrity. Furthermore, it contributes to overall skin conditioning and moisturization.
