Substances that help prevent free-radical damage by neutralising and absorbing the highly reactive molecules that can damage the skin and cause premature ageing. Vitamins C and E are examples of powerful anti-oxidants. See also Free Radical.
A compounding ingredient added to a plastic composition to retard possible degradation from contact with oxygen (air), particularly in processing at, or exposures to, high temperatures.
An additive to retard oxidation.
a food nutrient that tends to prevent oxidation within the blood
a preservative that reduces the rate of oxidation in oils that oxidize quickly
a substance that has the ability to significantly delay or prevent ROS oxidation of substrates
a chemical compound that prevents oxidation (most commonly rusting).
a group of vitamins, minerals and enzymes that protect our bodies from the formation of free radicals. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that can cause damage to cells, impairing our immune system and leading to infection and degenerative diseases.
an agent that prevents free radical or oxidative damage to the body tissue and cells
A substance which prevents or slows down oxygen decomposition of a material.
A herb that inhibits or retards oxidation.
prevent or inhibit oxidation (deterioration)
Protects against oxidation and free radical damage.
substance which modifies the oxidizing tendency of free radicals, a major factor in the aging process.
a protective property found in Vitamin A & F, which shields skin from free radical damage.
A substance which prevents or slows down oxidation of material exposed to heat.
A plant property that prevents free radical of oxidative tissue or cell damage.
A chemical that prevents the oxidation (loss of an electron by a molecule, atom, or ion; loss of hydrogen, or gain of oxygen)
Prevents and delays the oxidation of cell constituents and of raw materials in products.
a substance that inhibits oxidation reactions from occurring. Oxidation reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one chemical substance (the oxidizer or oxidizing agent) to another chemical substance.
Prevents oxidation (combining with oxygen). Anti-oxidant substances include superoxide dismutase, selenium, vitamin C and E, and zinc.
Slows the oxidation of hydrocarbons and therefore helps slow deterioration. In soap, antioxidants help prevent rancidity. On the skin, anti-oxidants are said to reduce the signs of aging.
describes the function that a specific ingredient can have on skin to reduce the effects of free-radical damage. Freeradical damage can be caused by the presence of oxygen molecules, sunlight, and pollution, and can destroy collagen and other skin components. Any substance that impedes or slows free-radical damage by preventing these things is referred to an "antioxidant."
A substance which inhibits or prevents damage from free radicals.
Preventing oxidation; a preservative.
A nutrient or chemical that reacts with and neutralizes oxidants, free radicals or chemicals that release free radicals. Antioxidants are also called free radical scavengers. Vitamins A, C, E and some of Click for full entry Chronic Pain
