Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions as a potent antioxidant, primarily due to its rich composition of polyphenols, vitamins (C, E, A), and flavonoids, which effectively neutralize free radicals and shield the skin from environmental stressors, including UV radiation. It supports skin rejuvenation and mitigates visible signs of aging by enhancing the vitality and productivity of skin stem cells and fibroblasts. The natural sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose) deliver immediate moisturizing and smoothing benefits, while pectins fortify the skin's moisture barrier, preventing transepidermal water loss. Malic acid, a naturally occurring Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), provides mild exfoliation, contributing to a brighter skin tone, diminished dark spots, and refined skin texture. Furthermore, quercetin within the extract offers anti-inflammatory benefits to calm redness, and the ingredient exhibits antibacterial properties. Its astringent qualities also assist in regulating sebum production and minimizing the appearance of pores.
