Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract works by nourishing the skin with essential amino acids, minerals, and vitamins, thereby stimulating cellular regeneration and reinforcing the skin's natural protective barrier. Its significant antioxidant action safeguards skin cells against oxidative stress and free radical damage, which are primary contributors to visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and loss of elasticity. Additionally, it provides hydration, helps to refine skin tone, and possesses soothing attributes that calm irritation and enhance skin texture.
