Science

Mechanism of Action

Santalum Album Seed Extract functions through a multi-pronged approach. Its inherent anti-inflammatory compounds work to calm and soothe irritated skin, while natural moisturizing elements effectively hydrate and restore skin's moisture barrier. The extract's rich antioxidant profile actively neutralizes free radicals, safeguarding skin from oxidative stress and contributing to anti-aging effects by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, specific constituents like Santalbic (Ximenynic) acid fortify skin robustness and prevent elastosis, complementing its skin-brightening and antimicrobial attributes.
