Antioxidant
Antioxidants are used in the manufacturing of cosmetics as well as for end-use benefits of cosmetic formulations. Antioxidants interrupt oxidation reactions and prevent the effects of oxygen radicals that would otherwise damage the integrity and function of various natural substances. They prevent degradation of natural ingredients (proteins, sugars, lipids) in the cosmetic product while also protecting skin cells from being damaged and slow down the aging process.. The more natural a cosmetic formulation, the more it is susceptible to free radicals and environmental aggressors such as UV and pollution. Antioxidants have been shown to boost the skin's radiance, minimize age spots, sun spots, and fine lines.
