Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that MALIN+GOETZ Recovery Treatment Oil is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Tocopherol (est. ≈6.0%) and Borago Officinalis Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%).

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, MALIN+GOETZ Recovery Treatment Oil is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Borago Officinalis Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%), Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil Unsaponifiables (est. ≈3.0%) and Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil (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.
