Its active ingredient is based on luminescence: the phytocomplex of mullein indeed has the property of protecting the skin from harmful UV radiation by transforming the light source so that it radiates from the skin.
In this sense, the main benefit of mullein on the skin comes from its ability to make the skin glow naturally and illuminate the complexion while protecting against the harmful rays of the sun.
This phenomenon, which can be traced back to the luminescence, it is mainly due to the presence of polyphenolic compounds present directly in the flower and in the extract that derives from it. The luminescence it is a communicative phenomenon the petals of the flower that are activated to attract pollinating insects and thus reproduce.
He verbascum complex derives from the enzymatic bioliquefaction of the flower and exploits the luminescent capabilities of the flower. The luminescence is able to absorb UV radiation thanks to its ability to re-emit, through a longer wavelength, the electromagnetic radiation it receives. In practice, it "translates into a new source of light" that seems to be generated directly from the skin.
In this sense, the mallow extract used on the skin helps to protect the skin from the oxidative effects caused by harmful sun rays, as well as to reduce the oxidative stress and at the same time give brightness and iridescence.
