Cruelty-Free Antioxidant Skin Care Products

Spread the love

Antioxidant skin care products are products that contain beneficial antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C, and E, Coenzyme Q10, caternoids, flavonoids, and certain phenolic acids such as chicoric acid (found in the herb Echinacea), gallic acid (found in tea leaves), and salicyclic acid, which is found in bark, as well as fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Because antioxidants are derived from natural resources, you shouldn’t have any problems finding antioxidant skin care products if you stick to organic brands, all natural products, and products that are vegan or vegetarian friendly.  You can find these types of products at health food stores such as Whole Foods, Mothers Market, and Wild Oats Market.  And you even find these products at drugstores and stores such as target.  For example, some of the world’s largest and oldest cruelty-free companies sell products in stores all over the U.S.  A couple of these companies are Almay and Beauty Without Cruelty.

Other companies and brands that sell antioxidant skin care products include, Jason Naturals, Aubrey Organics, Nature’s Gate, Aloe Up, Alba Botanica, Fruit of the Earth, Garden Botanika, Millcreek Botanicals, Pure & Basic and Plantessence, to name just a few.

Why Buy Antioxidant Skin Care Products?

Antioxidant skin care products are popular for several reasons.  Depending on the combination of ingredients, antioxidant skin care products can:

-Reduce or prevent wrinkles
-Hydrate skin
-Reduce or prevent acne
-Eliminate or reduce blemishes
-Protect skin from free radicals
-Protect skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays
-Reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes
-Encourage glowing skin

In addition, most antioxidant skin care products are environmentally friendly, meaning, they utilize all natural ingredients and they are not tested on animals.  Many of the companies that manufacture these products also stand behind and promote sustainable practices.
