Antioxidants
protects the skin from oxidative stress, boosts resilience, and help preserve a youthful glow
Potent AntioxidantS
in Skincare
A study published highlights ferulic acid’s protective role for skin structures such as keratinocytes, fibroblasts, collagen, and elastin. It inhibits melanogenesis, enhances angiogenesis, and accelerates wound healing, making it a valuable component in anti-aging skincare formulations.
Multifaceted Benefits
for Skin Health
Research indicates that vitamin E, comprising tocopherols and tocotrienols, modulates oxidative stress responses, inhibits inflammatory pathways, and regulates cell cycle and apoptosis, contributing to its effectiveness in skin health and anti-aging applications.

Anti-Aging Potential
A study reveals that sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins can alleviate skin aging by enhancing the body’s antioxidant defense mechanisms, improving skin elasticity, and maintaining collagen and elastin stability.
Antioxidants are molecules that neutralize free radicals — unstable atoms that can damage cells, leading to premature aging and skin deterioration. By donating electrons to free radicals, antioxidants stabilize them, preventing oxidative stress and its harmful effects on the skin.
In skincare formulations, antioxidants like ferulic acid, vitamins C and E, and various plant extracts work synergistically to enhance the skin’s defense mechanisms. They protect against environmental stressors such as UV radiation and pollution, reduce inflammation, and promote skin repair and rejuvenation.
Antioxidant Powerhouses in Árija Skincare Formulations
Árija Skincare utilizes the power of potent antioxidants to create formulations that protect, nourish, and rejuvenate the skin. Each ingredient is meticulously selected for its scientifically proven efficacy and synergistic benefits:
Ferulic Acid
Ferulic acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid derived from plant cell walls. It neutralizes free radicals and stabilizes vitamins C and E, increasing their photoprotective effect. It also inhibits tyrosinase, reducing melanin formation and brightening the skin.
Found in: Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
Vitamin E refers to a family of eight fat-soluble compounds—tocopherols and tocotrienols—best known for preventing lipid peroxidation in skin cell membranes. It reduces UVB damage, supports healing, and improves skin texture and barrier strength.
Found in: Smoothing Eye Cream, Nourishing Rich Cream, Peptides Anti-Ageing Serum, Gentle Cleansing Milk, Ceramide Hydrating Night Cream, Brightening Eye Cream, Vitamin C Serum, Soothing After-Sun Lotion, Pigment Perfecting Serum, Mineral Sunscreen SPF30 for Face & Body, Natural Retinol-Alternative Oil Serum, Calming Facial Oil, Hydrating Serum, Moisturizing Day Cream
Blueberry Seed Oil
This oil is rich in tocopherols and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), which help restore the lipid barrier and reduce inflammation. It also contains anthocyanins—powerful flavonoid antioxidants—that protect collagen and improve elasticity.
Found in: Peptides Anti-Ageing Serum, Natural Retinol-Alternative Oil Serum
Plum Extract
Plum is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, and polyphenolic antioxidants like quercetin. These compounds fight photoaging, reduce oxidative stress, and support natural collagen production.
Found in: Clarifying Gel
Raspberry Seed Oil and Extract
Raspberry contains ellagic acid (a polyphenol with anti-mutagenic properties), along with tocopherols and omega-3/6 fatty acids. It offers natural UVB protection, soothes inflammation, and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Found in: Mineral Sunscreen SPF30 for Face & Body, Natural Retinol-Alternative Oil Serum, Moisturizing Day Cream
Cloudberry Extract
This rare Arctic berry contains ellagitannins, carotenoids (like beta-carotene), vitamin C, and polyphenols. These compounds scavenge free radicals, boost collagen synthesis, and protect skin lipids from oxidative breakdown.
Found in: Nourishing Rich Cream, Hydrating Serum
Sea Buckthorn Extract
Sea buckthorn is one of the richest sources of palmitoleic acid (omega-7), along with beta-carotene, lycopene, tocopherols, and flavonoids. It supports epidermal regeneration, reduces inflammation, and increases skin elasticity.
Found in: Ceramide Hydrating Night Cream, Vitamin C Serum, Mineral Sunscreen SPF30 for Face & Body
Seaweed Extract
Seaweed extract is high in fucoidan (a sulfated polysaccharide), polyphenols, and marine peptides that offer antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-firming properties. It also enhances hydration and boosts oxygenation of skin cells.
Found in: Pigment Perfecting Serum

How to Best Benefit from ANTIOXIDANTS in Your Skincare Routine:
🎯 Targeted Care:
Use antioxidant serums with ferulic acid or vitamin C to fade discoloration, reduce inflammation, and prevent early signs of aging.
☀️ Morning:
Apply antioxidant-rich products like Vitamin C Serum or Mineral Sunscreen SPF30 to neutralize free radicals before sun exposure and pollution hit.
🌙 Evening:
Use deeply nourishing formulas like Ceramide Hydrating Night Cream or Peptides Anti-Ageing Serum to help the skin recover from oxidative stress overnight.
Pro Tip for Application:
Always apply antioxidant serums to freshly cleansed skin, followed by moisturizer and SPF.
For maximum impact, layer lighter antioxidants (like serum) before heavier textures (like creams or oils).
