SCLERANTHUS ANNUUS FLOWER EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / SKIN PROTECTING

Scleranthus annuus Flower Extract, derived from the plant commonly known as Knawel, shows preliminary *in vitro* evidence for inhibiting collagen degradation and neutralizing free radicals. Its potential benefits in precision skincare, particularly for supporting skin structure and combating oxidative stress, require further clinical substantiation.

Summary

Antioxidant Collagenase Inhibitor

Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract is observed to function as an anti-collagenase agent, meaning it can inhibit the activity of collagenase enzymes responsible for breaking down collagen. Concurrently, it exhibits antioxidant properties by scavenging various free radicals, thereby mitigating oxidative damage to skin cells.
