Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract leverages a rich profile of phenolic compounds, including pinosylvin, pinosylvin monomethyl ether, flavonoids, terpenes, and tannins. These compounds function synergistically to neutralize free radicals, specifically inhibiting free hydroxyl radicals, and significantly reducing redness, itchiness, and inflammatory responses in the skin. Furthermore, it is understood to stimulate cellular repair processes, enhance collagen production, fortify the skin's natural protective barrier, and help stabilize the skin's optimal pH level.
