What it means
Common examples are vitamin C and its derivatives, vitamin E, niacinamide and green tea polyphenols. Antioxidants work best alongside sun protection, because they cannot undo all of the damage UV light causes.
Stability is a practical problem: many antioxidants break down in air and light, so packaging and formulation matter as much as the ingredient list.
