Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Anti-Aging
Targets fine lines, wrinkles, or loss of firmness. Works by boosting collagen, speeding cell turnover, or both.
Skin Protecting
Helps rebuild and strengthen your skin barrier — the invisible shield that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Essential after over-exfoliating or harsh weather.
Neutralizes Free Radicals
Traditional Use
A synthetic antioxidant developed in the 20th century. Used in cosmetics to prevent oxidation and rancidity of oils and fats in formulations.
