SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS
// Evidence: Antioxidants prevent or delay oxidation by donating electrons to free radicals, chelating pro-oxidant metals, or regenerating other antioxidants. Mechanisms include direct radical scavenging (vitamin E, vitamin C, BHT, BHA), metal chelation (EDTA), or enzymatic action. On skin, they neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by UV radiation and pollution, preventing lipid peroxidation and DNA damage.
