Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract functions by stimulating paracrine communication pathways between adipose-derived stem cells and epidermal cells, thereby promoting enhanced epidermal regeneration and accelerating cellular turnover. This action helps to subtly thicken the skin, effectively diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while simultaneously providing deep hydration and restoring skin elasticity. The inherent xanthones contribute potent antioxidant defense, mitigating oxidative stress and reinforcing the skin's natural protective barriers against environmental aggressors. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties offer a soothing effect, particularly beneficial for irritated or sensitive skin.
