Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Lush Cosmetic Lad is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈3.0%), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (est. ≈2.5%) and Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Lush Cosmetic Lad is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈3.0%), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (est. ≈2.5%) and Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
