Superoxide dismutase
Category: Active ingredient
Brief description: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative damage by catalyzing the dismutation of superoxide radicals.
Benefits: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties; may help protect the skin from environmental stressors and support healthy cellular function.
Skin type suitability/concerns: Suitable for all skin types.
Target audience: People who want to address signs of aging and protect their skin from environmental damage.
Chemical composition: Enzyme composed of amino acids.
Physical aspect: White to off-white crystalline powder.
Compatibility: Compatible with most cosmetic ingredients; can be sensitive to heat, so proper formulation and packaging are important.
Concentration: Typically used at concentrations of 0.1-1% in cosmetic formulations.
Side effects/adverse reactions: Generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience mild irritation or an allergic reaction.
Regulatory status: Generally recognized as safe; no significant restrictions.
Sustainability/ethical considerations: Can be derived from natural sources, such as plants and yeast, or synthesized; no significant sustainability or ethical concerns.
