A vitamin or substance that impedes oxidation or spoilage promoted by oxygen or peroxide. Like vitamin E or beta-carotene it helps protect the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals.

Antioxidants (Cancer)

Substances that reduce oxidative damage (damage due to oxygen) such as that caused by free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals that attack molecules by changing their chemical structures. Well-known antioxidants include vitamin E and beta-carotene (which is converted to vitamin A).

Antioxidants (Cosmetics)

Vitamins or substances which impede oxidation or spoilage promoted by oxygen or peroxide. (See Special Information section for further information about the controversy surrounding the anti-aging effects of antioxidants and its ability to fight free-radicals.)

Antioxidants (Vitamins)

A number of substances that battle against oxygen-derived free radicals to prevent them from over reacting with body tissue that could cause cellular damage. Compounds like vitamins C and E, the vitamin A precursor beta-carotene, alpha-lipoic acid, and the minerals selenium and zinc, are all quite common antioxidants. (See Free Radicals).
