Summary

Antioxidant Skin Conditioning Emollient Anti-inflammatory Antibacterial Antiseptic Circulation Booster

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions as an antioxidant, primarily due to its polyphenolic compounds, which help neutralize free radicals and protect skin from oxidative stress. It acts as a skin conditioning agent, contributing to a perceptibly smoother texture. Traditional uses also suggest anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiseptic, and microcirculation-boosting actions, which are believed to contribute to its observed benefits in acne treatments and its potential to diminish the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines around the eyes.
