Science

Mechanism of Action

As an ester of Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil, this ingredient leverages its inherent antimicrobial properties to help mitigate redness, itchiness, and inflammation often associated with conditions like psoriasis and dermatitis, and to combat acne-causing microbes. Its rich composition of omega 9 fatty acids contributes to a strengthened skin barrier, providing substantial moisturizing and emollient benefits that effectively reduce transepidermal water loss. Furthermore, the presence of omega 6 and various flavonoids imbues it with robust antioxidant capabilities, protecting the skin from environmental free radicals, promoting tissue regeneration, aiding wound healing, and contributing to the delay of premature skin aging. The ingredient also exhibits natural UV-absorbing characteristics, offering an additional layer of protection.
