Findings

An extract from Leontopodium alpinum (edelweiss) reduced blue light damage in lab-grown skin cells by boosting collagen production and reducing harmful inflammation markers. At concentrations of 10-15 mg/mL, it lowered reactive oxygen species (free radicals) and blocked the cellular pathway that blue light triggers to damage skin.
