Gardenia Extract is derived from the fruit of the Gardenia Florida. Once prized in traditional Asian folk medicine, Gardenia Extract functions as an antioxidant in skin care products.
Ferulic Acid is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants; in plants, it serves as a self-preservation mechanism in which it helps strengthen cellular walls against damage from microbes or the sun.
When applied topically, Ferulic Acid helps enhance tone, texture, and overall elasticity by supporting Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid content in the skin. Skin’s natural moisture is better retained, giving skin a healthier, plumper, and more youthful-looking glow. In addition, Ferulic Acid helps fight aging free radicals, thus preventing further UV damage to the skin.
Gardenia Extract also boasts mild anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, making it a favorite for skin care products aiming to help refresh, revive, and soothe dry or tired skin.
