Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract is highly concentrated with bioactive compounds including flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol), tannins, vitamin C, and phenolic acids (ellagic acid). Its primary mechanism involves powerful antioxidant activity, neutralizing free radicals to mitigate oxidative damage. Anti-inflammatory properties work to calm skin, reducing irritation, redness, and itchiness. Tannins contribute astringent benefits, while vitamin C supports the synthesis of collagen, potentially addressing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
