Reishi Mushroom Shield

An antioxidant defense against free radicals, our lightweight moisturizer can be applied daily on the face, chest, hands, and arms.  Together these ingredients provide protection from damaging rays while reducing redness and inflammation and reclaiming the skin’s immunity.

Antioxidants play a crucial role in skincare by helping to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and environmental stressors. Here's an overview of their role:

1. Neutralizing Free Radicals: Free radicals are unstable molecules generated by environmental factors such as UV radiation, pollution, and cigarette smoke, as well as internal processes like metabolism. These molecules can damage skin cells, leading to premature aging, inflammation, and even skin cancer. Antioxidants work by donating electrons to neutralize free radicals, thereby preventing them from causing oxidative stress and damage to the skin.

2. Protecting Against UV Damage: Antioxidants can help protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation, including sunburn, photoaging, and DNA damage. They act as a defense mechanism against UV-induced free radicals, reducing the risk of sunburn and mitigating the inflammatory response in the skin.

3. Promoting Skin Repair and Regeneration: Antioxidants have been shown to support the skin's natural repair processes and enhance collagen production. By scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress, antioxidants help to maintain skin health and promote the regeneration of healthy skin cells.
