Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions primarily as a moisturizing agent, enhancing skin's water content for improved softness and smoothness. It also acts as a skin conditioning agent, maintaining overall skin health. Its high concentration of Vitamin C is vital for stimulating collagen production and defending against environmental stressors, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines. Additionally, a rich profile of antioxidants, including various polyphenols (flavonol glycosides, anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, hydroxycinnamic acid glycosides), provides robust protection against oxidative stress and helps to inhibit inflammatory pathways, fostering radiant and balanced skin.
