Summary

Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Antimicrobial Antibacterial Antifungal Skin-conditioning UV Damage Protection (indirect) Stress Protein Downregulation

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions as a robust antioxidant, actively mitigating oxidative stress by downregulating stress-response proteins triggered by environmental aggressors. It forms a protective barrier, assisting in the preservation of skin matrix proteins against UV-induced damage. Its efficacy extends to anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antifungal actions, primarily attributed to the bioactive compound karanjin. Furthermore, high concentrations of flavonoids and phenols suggest potential anti-cancer activity through interactions with epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR, ERBB2, EGF).
