Natural antioxidants in skin care cosmetics

Skin aging is a multifaceted and gradual process. One of the main mechanisms regulating skin changes, especially those caused by aging and UV exposure, is oxidative stress, triggered by the production of reactive oxygen species. However, the skin has a complex antioxidant defense system that protects it from oxidative damage. Cosmetic products with natural antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, tocopherols, and polyphenols can help the body resist oxidative stress and help prevent or slow down skin aging.
