Antioxidant Layering for Maximum Protection
The Power Trio: C + E + Ferulic
Duke University research shows 15% vitamin C, 1% vitamin E, and 0.5% ferulic acid provide 8x more photoprotection than vitamin C alone.
- Vitamin C: Neutralizes free radicals in water environments
- Vitamin E: Protects lipid membranes
- Ferulic acid: Stabilizes C and E, doubles protection
Adding Niacinamide
Niacinamide (5%) boosts NAD+ levels and enhances natural antioxidant defenses. Compatible with all other antioxidants.
