Science

Mechanism of Action

RUBUS FRUTICOSUS/IDAEUS EXTRACT operates through a synergy of natural compounds. Its high concentration of polyphenols, including anthocyanins and ellagitannins, alongside vitamin C, provides robust antioxidant defense, mitigating damage from oxidative stress, UV exposure, and environmental pollutants to combat signs of premature aging. The extract demonstrates anti-inflammatory capabilities, effectively calming redness and irritation. It enhances skin hydration by reducing transepidermal water loss and bolstering the skin barrier function. The vitamin C content supports skin brightening, diminishing the appearance of dark spots and boosting overall luminosity. Furthermore, it facilitates natural exfoliation by assisting in the removal of dead skin cells, promoting cellular renewal, and refining skin texture. This extract also contributes to improved skin elasticity and firmness by stimulating collagen synthesis, while potentially balancing oil production and offering antibacterial benefits.
