Antioxidant
There are many antioxidant ingredients, such as flavonoid compounds, which have the function of scavenging free radicals, helping to reduce oxidative stress damage and protect cells from damage. This has a certain positive effect on delaying aging and preventing diseases.
How do antioxidants help protect cells from damage?
Eliminate free radicals
Rich in a variety of antioxidants, such as vitamin C, carotenoids (such as beta-carotene), and flavonoids. These substances have strong antioxidant capacity and can neutralize and eliminate free radicals produced in the body. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules or groups of atoms that attack cell membranes, DNA, and other important molecules, causing cell damage and aging. By eliminating these harmful free radicals, antioxidants help maintain the integrity and health of cells.
Inhibit oxidative stress
Oxidative stress refers to a state in which the body's oxidation and antioxidant effects are out of balance and tend to oxidize. In this state, the production of free radicals exceeds the body's ability to eliminate them, causing damage to cells and tissues. The antioxidants in fruit powder can inhibit the occurrence of oxidative stress, and fight against oxidative stress generated by the external environment (such as ultraviolet rays, pollution, etc.) and internal metabolic processes by improving the body's antioxidant defense system.
Protect cell structure and function
Antioxidants not only directly eliminate free radicals, but also maintain cell health by protecting key structures and functions within cells. For example, antioxidants such as vitamin C and carotenoids can promote the synthesis of collagen, which is an important component of tissues such as skin, bones, and teeth, and is essential for maintaining the elasticity and integrity of tissues. In addition, these antioxidant ingredients can protect DNA from oxidative damage and prevent the mistransmission and mutation of genetic information.
Promote cell repair and regeneration Antioxidants can also promote the repair and regeneration process of cells after cells are damaged. They support the repair mechanism of cells by providing necessary nutrients and signaling molecules, helping cells to restore normal structure and function. This is important for maintaining the overall health of the body and preventing the occurrence of diseases.
What are the benefits for the skin?
Provides rich vitamin C Rich vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage to the skin. Vitamin C can also promote the synthesis of collagen, help maintain the elasticity and firmness of the skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, vitamin C can promote the regeneration of skin cells, accelerate wound healing, and make the skin healthier.
Moisturizing and repairing Ingredients such as pectin in fruit powder have the effect of moisturizing and repairing the skin. Pectin can form a protective film to lock the moisture on the surface of the skin, prevent moisture loss, and keep the skin moisturized. At the same time, pectin can also repair damaged skin cells, improve skin roughness and dullness, and make the skin smoother and more delicate.
Whitening and spot-lightening
Vitamin C and other antioxidant ingredients can inhibit the production of melanin and reduce the formation of spots. Long-term use of orange fruit powder can fade existing spots and make the skin more even and fair. In addition, the fruit acid and other ingredients in orange fruit powder can also help remove the aging stratum corneum on the surface of the skin, promote skin renewal and repair, and further brighten the skin.
Deep cleansing and makeup removal
Fruit acid and other ingredients have a certain cleaning ability, which can penetrate deep into the pores and remove dirt and oil on the surface of the skin. Using orange fruit powder as a cleansing product or makeup remover can effectively clean the facial skin and prevent pore blockage and acne. At the same time, the mild nature of orange fruit powder is also suitable for sensitive skin.
Firming skin and improving elasticity
The various ingredients in the fruit powder work together to help improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin. The synthesis of vitamin C and collagen, the moisturizing and repairing effects of pectin, and the exfoliating effects of fruit acid can all make the skin firmer and more elastic, reducing relaxation and sagging.
