Ferulic acid is a naturally occurring phenolic compound found in the cell walls of plants, such as rice bran, oats, and certain fruits and vegetables. In cosmetics, ferulic acid is often used as an ingredient for its antioxidant and skin-enhancing properties.

Ferulic acid is characterised by its antioxidant properties, meaning it can help protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It is also known for its potential anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial effects. Ferulic acid is widely studied and utilised in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, food science, and cosmetics.

Here are some key points about ferulic acid in cosmetics:

•Antioxidant Protection: Ferulic acid exhibits strong antioxidant activity, meaning it can help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by environmental factors like UV radiation and pollution. By reducing oxidative damage, it may help to prevent premature aging and support overall skin health.

•Photoprotection: When combined with other antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E, ferulic acid can enhance their photoprotective effects. It is often used in combination with these ingredients in skincare products, particularly serums and creams designed to protect the skin from sun damage and improve sun-damaged skin.

•Collagen Synthesis: Ferulic acid has been found to promote collagen synthesis in the skin. Collagen is a key structural protein that helps maintain skin firmness and elasticity. By stimulating collagen production, ferulic acid may help improve skin tone, texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

•Stability Enhancement: Ferulic acid is known to stabilize and enhance the efficacy of certain ingredients, especially vitamin C. When combined with vitamin C, it can help to extend its shelf life and improve its stability, making the formulation more potent and effective.
