Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that The Fox Tan Rapid Elixir is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈2.5%).

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.
