It displays skin depigmentation activity and is being incorporated in topical products intended specifically for that purpose. Furthermore, the observed notable tyrosinase and elastase inhibitory activity of the extracts, as well as their anti-inflammatory activity, indicate the anti-aging properties of the investigated extracts.)
