Our skin is routinely
exposed to stressful environmental factors such as pollutants and UV radiation,
which produce a large number of aggressive oxidants that damage all the
biological skin cell membranes. Free radicals are the result of oxidative cell
metabolism.
A great number of plants
and plant extracts, which have been studied, tested and used for centuries,
produce effective antioxidative action. Flavonoids like Rutin and phenolic
compounds like Hesperidin derivates also have anti-tumor, antiviral and antibacterial
activities, antiradical and antioxidative activities. Among the characteristics
of polyphenols of Green tea and Yerba Mate are prevention of adverse effects
caused by UV radiation, with a reduction of oxidative damage and reduction in
metalloproteinase production.
The extracts of fruits like
grapes, peanuts, mulberries, vegetables have shown to be improving fine lines,
wrinkles, pigmentation, and overall appearance. The chemicals derived from such
herbs are: Apigenin, a nontoxic botanical-derived fiavonoid, Curcumin obtained from the turmeric rhizome (Curcuma
longa), Proanthocyanidins from the seeds of grapes (V.
vinifera)], and Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in numerous plant species
including grapes, peanuts, fruits, red wine, and mulberries.
These natural ingredients
possess the ability to protect skin from harmful UV-induced effects by
displaying antimutagen, antioxidant, free radical scavenging,
anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic properties. Considered to be most
common of the Asiatic folk medicines, these act as anti-inflammatory agent on
neutrophil functions, including ROS generation.
Similarly, antioxidant
characteristics of essential oils like Rose, Jasmine, Lemon , Ylang Ylang and Tea Tree have shown amazing effects in
removing the free radicals and transforming skin into fine rejuvenated shape.
Besides protecting skin from microorganism, these ingredients get absorbed into
the skin and seal natural moisture with invisible shield.

of Rejuvenating and Radiant skin-care Cleanser, Toner, Cream, Serum, have been formulated
