Summary

antimicrobial antioxidant anti-inflammatory fragrance ingredient

Science

Mechanism of Action

This botanical oil exerts its antimicrobial action primarily through terpene components that disrupt bacterial cell membranes, altering permeability and leading to cell death. As an antioxidant, it actively neutralizes free radicals, mitigating cellular damage that contributes to premature skin aging. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe the skin, reducing redness, irritation, and itchiness. Furthermore, for oily skin types, it aids in regulating sebum production, balancing natural oils, and promoting the appearance of tightened pores.
