Lipid peroxide
What are free radicals?
unstable molecules or atoms
What stable molecule is split by sun exposure, producing an unstable molecule known as an ROS
oxygen
Kinase Cascade (aka Inflammatory Cascade) produces the following self-destruct enzymes:
Collagenase, Elastase, and Hyalurondase
t or f ROS stands for Reactive Oxygen Species which the name given to the type of Free Radicals specific to the molecule of Oxygen.
t
This form of Vitamin C is essential for producing collagen
Vitamin C - L-ascorbic acid
This occurs when free radicals attack proteins in collagen, binding them and making them inflexible.
Crosslinking
This antioxidant is a natural substance found in every cell in the body
Alpha lipoic acid
This form of Vitamin C can be mixed with other ingredients
Vitamin C ester
t or f When skin cells are inflamed, and the production of free radicals becomes elevated, white blood cells signal the production of self-destruct enzymes – this process is known as Kinase Cascade or the Inflammatory Cascade.
