Ferulic Acid is a powerful, plant-derived antioxidant. When used topically, Ferulic Acid can help protect skin against stressors and free radicals, which lead to visible signs of aging, as well as support skin’s natural recovery process. Within our formula, this ingredient helps skin to maintain a supple, radiant complexion by replenishing skin’s antioxidant reserves.

Ferulic Acid is naturally found in the cell walls of plants, including bran and certain fruit seeds. Enriched through a 120 hour brewing process of Brassica Seeds, our formula uses 99% naturally-derived* Ferulic Acid, Lactic Acid and Squalane to correct visible signs of aging and rejuvenate skin’s healthy glow.

Antioxidants neutralize these free radicals in the skin, protecting against stress induced damage, which contributes to early signs aging.

In addition to its antioxidant benefits, Ferulic Acid can make skin feel more resilient while rejuvenating the appearance of skin to visibly diminish early signs of aging. Our Ferulic Acid is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
