Ferulic Acid Powder 99%

Ferulic Acid is a powerful plant-derived antioxidant naturally found in the cell walls of grains such as rice, wheat, oats, and also in coffee, apples, and peanuts.

In cosmetics, Ferulic Acid is prized for its ability to:

• Stabilize and boost the effectiveness of Vitamin C and Vitamin E in formulations.
• Provide strong antioxidant protection, neutralizing free radicals that cause premature skin aging.
• Help brighten skin tone and improve the appearance of photo-damaged skin.
• Reduce the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation caused by UV exposure.
• Support overall skin barrier health and resilience.

It is a common key ingredient in advanced anti-aging serums and brightening treatments, especially when paired with ascorbic acid.
