 Ferulic acid (also known as cinamic acid) is naturally found in the leaves and seeds of most plants. It is especially abundant in the brans of grasses (rice, wheat and oats).
Its strong antioxidant properties make it a favorite in the formulation of anti-aging cosmetics. It provides free radical defense and protects cells from environmental damage. Add it to your favorite cream or DIY serum to make a potent photoprotective and cancer preventive cream.
Ferulic acid helps to stabilize vitamins. When vitamins are exposed to light and air, they break down; ferulic acid prevents them from degrading and losing efficacy. Ferulic acid is especially helpful in serums containing vitamin C and E, which are highly instable and lose their skin benefits quickly in serums and creams.
Ferulic acid acts with other antioxidants to increase their efficacy. Its antioxidant antivity is boosted by exposure to UV light, which indicates it may be helpful in protecting skin from sun damage.
