Antioxidant Skin Conditioning Skin Protecting Anti-inflammatory Antibacterial Sebum-regulating Anti-aging Brightening

Science

This extract exerts its antioxidant effects through the synergistic action of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins, which neutralize free radicals to protect cellular integrity. Its anti-inflammatory capacity is driven by the inhibition of critical inflammatory cytokines, specifically TNF-α and ASK1. Furthermore, its antibacterial activity targets skin pathogens, including Propionibacterium acnes, attributed to the presence of alkaloids and flavonoids. The extract also demonstrates potential to reduce sebum production via lipoxygenase inhibition, diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation (such as sun spots and melasma), and reduce fine lines and wrinkles by inhibiting MMP-1 activity.
