Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract operates through a complex blend of bioactive compounds. Flavonoids function as potent free radical scavengers, aiding in the protection against oxidative stress and mitigating signs of premature skin aging. Tannins impart an astringent effect by interacting with surface proteins, which can lead to a reduction in pore appearance and a smoother skin texture. Mucilages are responsible for its hydrating and calming effects, while volatile oils contribute to its antibacterial action. Additionally, the extract demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties, promoting overall skin comfort.
