Polyphenols

ANTIOXIDANTS
Anti Oxidants are chemical substances effectively contrasting the increase of free radicals of our metabolism. Free radicals occurrence is further increased by the effects of ultraviolet rays, environmental pollution and cigarette smoke. They limit the oxidation of our cells and therefore reduce skin weakness and loss of elasticity including the formation of wrinkles and dark spots. Cells are better protected and repaired thus remaining in improved condition to contrast the ageing process.
