Science
Mechanism of Action
This extract operates primarily through its high concentration of polyphenols and flavonoids, which provide robust antioxidant activity against oxidative damage. It also confers moisturizing benefits to the skin. Furthermore, drawing insights from closely related species, it is theorized to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation by diminishing oxidative stress, inhibit lipoxygenase activity to control sebum production, and exhibit anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
