Science
Mechanism of Action
This botanical extract’s skin-protecting capabilities are primarily attributed to its complex chemical profile. It contains phenolics, including powerful antioxidants like kaempferol glycosides, which contribute to defense against environmental damage, oxidative stress relief, and protection from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Other constituents such as isobornyl acetate, α-pinene, and limonene underpin its traditionally reported anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and analgesic effects.
