Summary

Antioxidant Anti-inflammatory Hydrating Exfoliant Brightening Skin Barrier Support Collagen Booster Astringent Tonic

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract acts as a powerful antioxidant, primarily due to its high concentration of polyphenols, including anthocyanins, flavonols (such as quercetin), and flavanols, alongside Vitamin C. These components neutralize free radicals, offering protection against environmental damage and photoaging. It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, which help soothe sensitive or irritated skin and mitigate redness. Essential amino acids and fatty acids within the extract contribute to improved skin hydration by strengthening the skin's barrier and reducing moisture loss. Furthermore, its natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) facilitate mild exfoliation, promoting the removal of dead skin cells, stimulating cell renewal, revealing a brighter complexion, and supporting collagen synthesis for enhanced skin tone.
