Science

Mechanism of Action

No direct mechanism of action related to specific benefits for skin health has been identified in the available research. An in vitro study noted its capacity for acetylcholinesterase inhibition at an IC50 of 0.76 ± 0.04 mg/mL, but this biochemical activity does not directly correlate with established skincare efficacy pathways.
