Overview
Tropolone is a structurally interesting ingredient whose molecular structure is an unusual seven-membered ring of carbons. It is known as an aromatic molecule, which means it can support chemical charges and free radicals easily. This is important because it can behave as an antioxidant by capturing and disabling free radical species.
Free radical species can cause damage to the structures within the skin, leading to cell and DNA damage in the skin. As a result, aging occurs more quickly, and the risk of some cancers increases.
Therefore, the use of tropolone in skincare products can help protect the skin from these free radicals.
