- It shows higher antioxidant power than most antioxidants
E
- EGCG's main function is in reducing UV-induced damage
- It promotes skin hydration through Hyaluronic acid
- It protects collagen by inhibiting its degradation
F
- FA is an essential antioxidant in stabilizing antioxidants
- It has a unique mechanism for terminating radical cycles
- It also has potent anti-inflammatory effects
G
- Genistein's main effect is anti-aging through collagen protection
- It has shown wound healing properties as well

S
- SCG is an amino acid-based surfactant known to be one of the mildest surfactants
- It breaks down into an amino acid and a fatty acid in the skin, adding more moisture to it
- SCG is an amino acid-based surfactant that is composed of Glycine and a fatty acid
- It has the smallest charged head among surfactants which makes it really mild
T
- TXA prevents the first signal for pigment production
- It enhances the Barrier's strongholds (Tight Junctions)
