Summary

Antioxidant Skin-Conditioning Humectant Emollient Exfoliant Anti-inflammatory Collagen Booster

Science

Mechanism of Action

Prunus Domestica Fruit Extract delivers a comprehensive range of benefits through several mechanisms. Its rich content of phytochemicals, vitamins, and antioxidants neutralizes free radicals, thereby protecting against oxidative stress and premature aging. It functions as a humectant and emollient, forming a protective barrier that locks in moisture, softens the skin, and reduces irritation, making it particularly beneficial for dry and dehydrated complexions. Additionally, natural enzymes within the extract offer gentle exfoliation, promoting cell turnover for a brighter, more even skin tone. In vitro studies further support its role in collagen synthesis and demonstrate anti-inflammatory properties by modulating specific inflammatory markers in activated macrophages.
