Science

Mechanism of Action

This botanical water leverages the power of bioactive compounds like anthraquinones, tannins, and flavonoids to exert its beneficial effects. Its anti-inflammatory action is specifically linked to the modulation of the PI3K-Akt-mediated NF-κB pathway, effectively soothing irritation and reducing redness. Furthermore, it defends the skin against free radical damage, supports cellular regeneration, and helps tighten dilated pores through the contraction of stratum corneum cells and removal of excess surface oil.
