Summer = Oxidative Stress Season

In the summer, your skin is under attack. UV rays, pollution, heat, and humidity create a flood of unstable molecules called free radicals, especially a particularly damaging type known as superoxide radicals.

These radicals damage collagen, dehydrate your skin, increase inflammation, and accelerate aging — resulting in wrinkles, dullness, and dark spots.

🧬 Enter: Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)

Superoxide Dismutase (or SOD) is a naturally occurring antioxidant enzyme in your skin — especially in the upper layers — that plays a crucial role in protecting against oxidative damage.

As we age, SOD levels decline, leaving skin more vulnerable. That’s why applying it topically becomes essential, especially during the high-stress summer months.

🔬 How It Works

SOD targets and neutralizes one of the most dangerous free radicals: the superoxide anion (O₂⁻). It transforms this toxic molecule into hydrogen peroxide, which your skin then breaks down into harmless water and oxygen using other enzymes like catalase and glutathione peroxidase.

The best part?
Unlike non-enzymatic antioxidants (like Vitamin C or E), SOD doesn’t get used up in the process — it stays active and continues working.

That’s why we’ve included a highly purified form of Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase in our Radiant Skin formula. This daily serum is designed to be your skin’s second line of defense — right after cleansing and before sunscreen.

🌞 Why It’s a Summer Essential

• 🛡️ Protects against UV-induced free radical damage

• 💧 Prevents breakdown of hyaluronic acid (preserving moisture)

• 👵 Prevents premature aging (wrinkles, dark spots, elasticity loss)

• 🌿 Supports skin detox and regeneration

• 💪 Strengthens barrier function

📊 Clinical Insights

In laboratory studies, topical SOD has been shown to:

• 📉 Reduce lipid peroxidation (cell membrane damage) by up to 66% when skin cells are exposed to UV rays

• 💧 Preserve the integrity of hyaluronic acid, keeping it viscous and effective for long-term hydration

👩🏽‍🔬 Why We Chose It

As a formulator with 30 years of experience in cosmetic chemistry, I selected Superoxide Dismutase for Radiant Skin because it’s one of the few antioxidants that works enzymatically and continuously — perfect for protecting your skin during the long, hot summer months.

When combined with sunscreen and hydrating actives, SOD becomes your invisible armor.

💡 How to Use for Best Results
