Ferulic Acid
What Ferulic Acid is & what it does
A plant antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and notably stabilizes and boosts vitamins C and E, making antioxidant blends more effective. It also adds its own environmental protection.
What does Ferulic Acid do in skincare?
Ferulic Acid is commonly used as an antioxidant. It is often paired with vitamins C and E in serums, where it can help stabilize those ingredients and support the formula against oxidation.
Is Ferulic Acid safe?
Ferulic Acid is widely used in skincare at low concentrations and is generally well tolerated. As with any active ingredient, sensitive individuals can patch test before regular use.
Is Ferulic Acid natural or synthetic?
Ferulic Acid occurs naturally in plant cell walls, such as in bran and seeds, but the cosmetic-grade ingredient is often produced synthetically or through controlled processing for consistent quality.
