Mechanism of Action
This extract functions as a humectant, drawing and retaining moisture to improve skin hydration and barrier integrity. It provides antioxidant benefits by scavenging free radicals, thereby protecting skin cells from oxidative damage. Furthermore, studies indicate an inhibitory effect on bacterial growth, suggesting antibacterial properties. Its diverse pharmacological activities are attributed to a rich composition of phytochemicals, including quinones, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and phenols, which collectively contribute to its skin conditioning and protective attributes.
