Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Milk Makeup Vegan Milk Moisturizer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈1.3%), Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (est. ≈0.3%), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

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.
