A Spectrochemically Driven Study: Identifying Phenolic-Rich Extracts from <i>Helichrysum stoechas</i>, <i>Lavandula pedunculata</i>, and <i>Thymus mastichina</i> with Potential to Revert Skin Aging Effects.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Plants inhabiting mediterranean-influenced climatic zones, like Helichrysum stoechas (L.) Moench subsp. stoechas, Lavandula pedunculata (Mill.) Cav., and Thymus mastichina (L.) L. subsp. mastichina, have been scarcely investigated regarding their richness in phenolic compounds, herein explored as sources of skin anti-aging compounds. Methods: In this investigation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in attenuated total reflectance (ATR) mode and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-ESI/MSⁿ) were employed to chemically characterize the hydroethanolic extracts (HEs), and their cell-free antioxidant p
