Science

Mechanism of Action

This extract combats free radicals and reduces inflammation by regulating immune mediators and alleviating key cellular pathways like MAPKs, STAT-1, and NF-κB. It also exhibits anti-photoaging effects by boosting procollagen type I, elastin, and TGF-β1 expression, while diminishing MMP-1 production.
