Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions through a multi-faceted approach: Its high content of flavonoids and phenolic acids delivers potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, actively shielding the skin from free radical damage and reducing inflammatory responses. Triterpenes further contribute anti-inflammatory and potential antimicrobial actions. Additionally, saponins provide gentle soothing and cleansing benefits, while the overall composition acts as a skin conditioning agent to fortify the skin's natural barrier and maintain optimal hydration.
