The fatty acids it contains can promote the synthesis of stratum corneum lipids and repair the skin barrier.
Vitamin C stimulates the synthesis of collagen and reduces the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) induced by ultraviolet rays.

2. Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory
Flavonoids inhibit the NF-κB inflammatory pathway and relieve swelling in arthritis model animals. Studies have shown that the swelling rate is reduced by 40%.
