Free Radical InformationFree radicals are known to play a role in the acceleration of the aging process at and below the surface of the skin. Free radicals can damage the integrity of the skin's natural barrier function. This includes the degradation of essential skin lipids, collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The visible effects are dry, flaky skin, lines, wrinkles, uneven skin pigmentation and a general loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by reducing the chain reaction effect of free radical formation. Natural antioxidants can have a profound effect on the health and beauty of the skin by preventing cells from further damage and reversing the damage that has already been done. Terralina™ uses a variety of natural antioxidants. Olive oil, our predominant ingredient, is rich in tyrosol, an essential antioxidant. Our olive leaf extract is rich in oleuropein, a highly effective antioxidant polyphenol. We complement these ingredients with organic white tea and oat extracts, both of which show a remarkable effect not only as antioxidants but also as anti-irritants, essential for helping to calm the skin. Organic white tea extract is made from less mature leaves than green tea and has undergone less processing. White tea contains very high levels of polyphenolic antioxidant compounds known as catechins and, most especially, epigallocathechin gallate or EGCG. With Terralina, the destructive effects of free radicals don't have to be inevitable. ![]() |
