Common Name(s): Resveratryl ferulate,resveratryl ferulate,resveratrol-ferulic hybrid,dual-mechanism antioxidant
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides simultaneous sirt1 longevity pathway activation (resveratrol stilbene) and photostabilised radical scavenging (ferulic acid cinnamate chromophore) in a single lipophilic molecule.
Why It's Used: Resveratryl ferulate is selected for its molecular synergy — combining the two most studied anti-aging antioxidants in a single ester where the ferulic acid moiety simultaneously photostabilises the resveratrol chromophore and provides independent photoprotective antioxidant activity.
How It Works: Resveratryl ferulate: stilbene sirt1 activation + cinnamate uv-a screening + combined radical scavenging → triple-mechanism anti-aging antioxidant from one molecular entity.
Typically Found In: Anti-aging,antioxidant serum
