Antioxidants are often used as cosmetic raw material, almost all of the skin care products containing these ingredients, the antioxidant effect allows to restore the normal function of the skin, so that their skin becomes better, to protect the skin from environmental factors invasion (such as sun and pollution damage, etc.).

There are countless types of antioxidants. Too many selections make people confused. Ingredients with antioxidant effects in the plant kingdom is too numerous to mention,Antioxidants in skin care products Articles also includes the vast majority of vitamins and vitamin derivatives, some mineral and synthetic molecules. The plant antioxidant is the highest degree of concern, if the chemical technician can extract the antioxidant active ingredients from the plant, will be make it more strengthen and stability, and then the efficiency should be better.

Here is an example (the same examples is hundreds or even thousands): While green tea extract is a good anti-oxidant, the antioxidant components in green tea epigallocatechin gallate is strongger. Why? The main reason is for external use on the skin "bioavailability", that is, the actual efficacy. Your digestive system through a series of complex chemical process when you drink green tea, green tea decomposition of various elements, some of them have antioxidant functions. The skin does not have this capability; skin can not digest green tea, because the antioxidants only can play a role indirectly. Skin care products containing green tea, but the skin can absorb epigallocatechin gallate more directly.

Oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, carbon monoxide, cigarette smoke, unstable molecules generated by the daylight will interaction with the stable molecular in skin, such as collagen, healthy skin tissue, and genetic material, etc. to make these stable molecules degeneration, decomposition, and the anti-oxidant can stop this process of interaction. This process raised the chain reaction of free radicals, so that the composition of the layers of skin cell damage. The support structure of the skin caused by free radical damage disintegration, loss of elasticity and vitality of the skin shells. The antioxidants function is to reduce the free radical damage, both to prevent new damage occurred, can reverse existing damage. The antioxidants in the diet and skin care products can effectively reduce the free radical damage. Antioxidants include vitamin A, C, E, superoxide dismutase, flavonoids, beta-carotene, glutathione, selenium, grape, curcumin, turmeric, etc. According to glutathione supplier, glutathione is the best anti-oxidant, having a relatively high rate of radical scavenging.

Well, what is the relationship between antioxidants and wrinkles? Nobody can ascertain the association. However, in theory, The wrinkles will generate if free radical damage caused by the natural environment without antioxidant protection digestion. Our body is manufactured from the dietary intake of antioxidants, and antioxidants can also be obtained through the skin care products, if these antioxidant protection is not sufficient, free radical damage can not be suppressed, ultimately causing cell disintegration, the cell's normal operation damaged.
