PINUS RADIATA BARK EXTRACT.

This extract exerts its effects primarily through a high concentration of polyphenols, particularly proanthocyanidins, which are powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and mitigate oxidative stress. It demonstrates anti-inflammatory capabilities, helping to soothe irritated skin and reduce redness associated with conditions such as acne, rosacea, or dermatitis. PINUS RADIATA BARK EXTRACT also boosts skin hydration and elasticity by stimulating hyaluronic acid production, binding to and protecting collagen and elastin from degradation, and promoting their regeneration. Furthermore, it enhances skin barrier function by increasing loricrin gene expression. The extract provides adjunctive protection against UV damage and contributes to an anti-melanogenic effect by downregulating tyrosinase and other pigmentation-related pathways.
