Antioxidants protect your skin
Antioxidants protect your skin by preventing free radical damage.
Free radicals are unstable molecules or atoms that can damage skin cells.
Free radicals are generated from normal aging, and by daily environmental damage - such as UV radiation from the sun and air pollution. Free radicals cause destruction to your cells and tissues, and accelerate skin aging (Masaki et al, 2010).
Antioxidants protect your skin by neutralizing unstable free radicals.
What is oxidative stress?
Your skin is susceptible to oxidative stress due to UV radiation from the sun and air pollution.
Oxidative stress occurs when the number of pro-oxidant species exceeds the number of antioxidant species.
For the skin, the consequences of this imbalance include inflammation, phototoxicity and accelerated aging (Trouba et al, 2002; Pinnell et al, 2003).
Plant carrier oils are rich in powerful antioxidants including vitamin E, polyphenols and phytosterols that can protect your skin from stress, damage and premature aging.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can protect your skin from stress, UV damage and premature aging.
All 8 types of vitamin E, including the tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) and tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma and delta) have antioxidant activity.
The alpha-isomers of both tocopherol and tocotrienol are the most effective antioxidants.
