More on antioidants

Ferulic Acid is one of the most effective skincare antioxidants which makes other antioxidants that it is paired with more effective. It is found in many plants and in rice bran oil and it has the ability to strengthen a plant’s cellular wall and protect it from damage including, sun damage.
On its own, Ferulic Acid is a powerful anti-oxidant but it also has the ability to extend the effectiveness of other anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E. In studies, the addition of Ferulic Acid to Vitamins C & E, doubled their ability to protect the skin from the sun. In fact, exposure to ultraviolet light actually increases the antioxidant power of Ferulic acid.
Vitamin C, another essential anti-oxidant, can be difficult to stabilize as it oxidizes quickly when exposed to air or moisture. Ferulic Acid also helps keep the vitamin C stable which led to the creation of one of the leading serums on the market,
