Within this scope, antioxidant serums promote skin rejuvenation, cell renewal, and protection against free radicals. It is widely used for protection against oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Stress leads to the breakdown of cell membranes and collagen fibers, resulting in wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and dullness. It accelerates signs of aging such as skin appearance. Therefore, it contains antioxidant components. Serum formulations form the basis of modern skincare products. However, current commercial Most products contain synthetic antioxidants (e.g., BHA, BHT), silicones, parabens, or 20 They contain chemical stabilizers; these components can cause irritation, sensitivity, and damage to the skin barrier in the long term. This can lead to biocompatibility issues. On the other hand, those obtained from natural plant extracts... Although various studies have been conducted on antioxidant formulations, the effectiveness of these products is not yet fully understood. Lack of stability, formulation compatibility, and biological validation is frequently observed. Antioxidant ingredients are found in anti-aging skincare products, especially serum formulations. They are widely used; the main purpose of such serums is to combat the effects of free radicals. Protecting the collagen matrix and reducing signs of skin aging by controlling oxidative stress. The goal is to delay it. However, many technical and practical challenges still exist in this area. For example, The stability of antioxidant components within the formula, resistance to oxidation, and the 30% inter-component ratio. Interactions, pH compatibility, and challenges in ensuring a long shelf life; also, skin irritations in some formulations. Problems such as the risk of irritation on the barrier frequently occur. A concrete example of this... For example, in patent application number US 2012282198, vitamin C (ascorbic acid or stabilized serums containing vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol or its derivatives) and its derivatives have been identified. This application is seen as a strategy of using components that exhibit antioxidant effects together. 35 2 It offers this, but in practice, oxidation in the water phase, component stability issues, and skin problems arise. Explanations regarding tolerance remain limited. For example, L-ascorbic acid found in aquatic environments. It can degrade over time, becoming reactive to oxygen, light, and heat; Also, when used in high concentrations, it can cause skin sensitivity or irritation. The risk of developing [something] increases. In this case, these types of stabilization deficiencies and skin compatibility 5 the problems, the widespread use of the technical solution in commercial application It can limit. Recent research in the field of cosmetics and dermocosmetics has shown that natural plant extracts... It aims to take advantage of its antioxidant and anti-aging effects.
