Mechanism of Action

This extract's beneficial effects are attributed to its diverse array of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, glycoproteins, flavonoids, steroidal saponins, phenols, and polysaccharides.

Its antioxidant activity specifically involves scavenging free radicals like DPPH and hydroxyl radicals, thereby protecting skin from oxidative stress.
