What is Oxidative Stress?

C H E F: Your Skin Superhero
What we should know about oxidative stress and how to combat it, keeping our skin protected, healthy and aging gracefully?
Jody Levine MD explains how free radicals, highly reactive molecules that can damage skin cells, contribute to signs of aging: “Antioxidants counter free radicals to protect the body from this damage. When a skin-care product contains antioxidants, they work to help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from their damaging effects."
Vitamin C, A and E are all powerful skincare ingredients that fight oxidative stress, with Vitamin C leading the way in topical antioxidant studies.
S H I M M E R C H E F products are formulated with plant-based superfood ingredients rich in Vitamins C, A, and E, as well as other anti-inflammatory compounds that work to fight oxidative stress. Our products are also infused with our nine-day Vitamin C Infusion Technique, which utilizes fermentation to break down whole foods’ molecular structures to create a more stable and permeable Vitamin C for increased nutritional benefits.

The Power of Flavonoids for Skin, Scalp & Hair Health
These compounds also possess anti-inflammatory attributes, which can soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. When it comes to scalp health, flavonoids contribute by enhancing blood circulation and improving nutrient delivery to hair follicles. This, in turn, supports hair growth and strength. Moreover, certain flavonoids exhibit the ability to inhibit enzymes that contribute to hair loss, offering a natural solution for a strong, healthy mane.
Each S H I M M E R C H E F ingredient listed below is rich in flavonoids and was carefully selected for its powerful nutritional value and bioaccessibility to maximize the health benefits for your skin, scalp, and hair.
Black Tea - Packed with plant-based compounds like polyphenols and tannins, black tea’s antioxidants are extremely beneficial for improving skin tone and texture, promoting a natural, healthy glow.

Vitamin C helps bring moisture into the pores and innermost layers of the skin while minimizing signs of aging like dark circles and hyperpigmentation.
Goji Berry - A powerful superfood known for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, goji berries provide a significant source of Vitamin C, amino acids, and beta-carotene - a plant compound that reduces skin irritation, minimizes the effects of sun damage, and lessens the signs of aging.
