The potential of naturally derived plant-based cosmetics and nutricosmetics has not yet been fully harnessed when targeting oxidative stress and inflammation-related skin ageing, say researchers.
Antioxidants have long been used in anti-ageing cosmetics, but innovation in the formulations has been somewhat limited with no emerging ingredients making true market impact, say researchers.
Recent research that questioned the potential of antioxidants to fight against aging has elicited a number of reactions from the industry, questioning the relevance of the findings to human skin.

Following the success of three previous conferences about skin
ageing, the French Society of Antioxidants is holding a fourth
conference in Paris, 22-23 November, entitled Ageing Signs and
Oxidative Stress, which will specifically...
As temperatures starts to rise, so do voices warning about the
dangers of over exposure to UV rays. Sun protection usually
involves topical creams, but evidence of oral antioxidants' ability
to boost protection may provide an...
