Properties and action of ferulic acid:
UV Protection – Ferulic acid has the ability to absorb UV radiation, including both UVA and UVB. This allows it to act as a natural sunscreen, protecting the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.
Prevention of photoaging – the product is a strong antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals formed under the influence of UV radiation and other external factors (e.g. air pollution).
Free radical neutralization – Free radicals are reactive oxygen species that damage skin cells, accelerating the aging process, and ferulic acid effectively counteracts this damage by supporting the skin’s natural regenerative processes.
Effects of using ferulic acid:
- Protection against skin damage
- Improving skin elasticity and firmness
- Brightening and evening out skin tone
Use of ferulic acid
In cosmetics, ferulic acid is used in concentrations up to 1%. It is often combined with vitamins C and E to enhance their antioxidant properties. This combination is particularly recommended in morning care products to provide optimal skin protection from external factors throughout the day.
