RHIZOPHORA MANGLE EXTRACT.

Rhizophora Mangle Extract operates through multifaceted mechanisms to benefit the skin. Its potent antioxidant action involves scavenging free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, and elevating the activity of vital antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. It demonstrates anti-inflammatory efficacy by diminishing inflammatory cell presence and aiding the restoration of prostaglandin E2 (PGE(2)) levels. Furthermore, it exhibits antibacterial properties. For tissue repair, it promotes wound healing via enhanced wound contraction, stimulated angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation, increased collagen fiber density, and elevated hydroxyproline content. Mechanistically, it may also contribute to anti-aging by inhibiting elastase activity and fostering collagen synthesis. Additional findings suggest antimutagenic properties through interaction with metallic ions and facilitation of DNA repair processes.
