A World of Antioxidants

Antioxidants play a vitally important part of any anti-aging skin care routine. They work by scavenging for free radicals, which are unstable molecules caused by oxidation. Oxidation is the chemical process which causes visible signs of aging such as age spots, wrinkles and uneven texture and tone. Antioxidants not only stop free radical damage from occurring, but can actually repair damage that has already happened. Astaxanthin: A powerful antioxidant with potent anti-inflammatory effects, astaxanthin’s unique molecular structure allows it to reside in the cell membrane, and to protect the inside and outside of cells from free radical attack. OZ Naturals Retinol Serum features astaxanthin as part of its cutting-edge formulation. Vitamin A: Also known as retinol, Vitamin A helps skin create newer, healthier skin cells and increases the amount of substances that enhance skin’s structural elements. One of the most exciting anti-aging ingredients in skin care, retinol can reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and diminish age spots. OZ Naturals Retinol Serum and Retinol Moisturizer use Vitamin A in the form of Retinyl Palmitate. Vitamin C: This water-soluble vitamin is one of the most researched and proven ingredients in skin care. It is a potent antioxidant which has been shown to increase collagen production, reduce inflammation, and helps skin better withstand exposure to sunlight. OZ Naturals uses a uniquely stabilized form of Vitamin C, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, in our Vitamin C Serum, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Vitamin C Cleanser, Sea Infused Moisturizer and Ocean Mineral Tonic. Vitamin E: A true antioxidant superstar, Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that strengthens the skin’s barrier function, and prevents dehydration and cell membrane damage. Look for Vitamin E in OZ Naturals Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Amino Herbal Facial Mask, Retinol Moisturizer and Retinol Serum. Green Tea: Extensive research has established that green tea has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Polyphenols, the active ingredients in green tea, have been shown to help prevent damage from UV light and provide anti-carcinogenic properties. OZ Naturals is proud to include green tea in our Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Sea Infused Herbal Moisturizer, Body Soufflé, Sunscreen and Ancient Orient Dermafoliant.
