An antioxidant form of ferulic acid that dissolves in oil. Its benefits have been seen only in lab studies.
What it does
It’s mostly used to help vitamins C and E last longer, by slowing how fast they break down in the bottle and on skin. It works in oil-based products where plain ferulic acid wouldn’t stay dissolved.
The EU’s ingredient database lists it as an antioxidant (slows reactions with oxygen, like going rancid).European Commission, CosIng (© European Union, CC BY 4.0) · uses put in plain words by Drop ↗
