Antioxidants are one of the most important steps in any skincare routine. They help protect our skin from all the environmental stressors that can accelerate premature aging and damage our complexion. But did you know that a good antioxidant serum should also be protecting against heavy metals? It’s true! Read on to learn why heavy metals are so bad for our skin and how antioxidants can help protect us.
Heavy metals are elements found naturally in the environment that have a high atomic weight and a density of at least 5 g/cm3. The most common heavy metal pollutants include arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and nickel. These pollutants come from industrial activities such as mining or fossil fuel burning. They are a major health hazard because they can build up in our bodies over time, causing damage to our organs and nervous system. Not only do these metals pose a serious threat to our overall health, but they can also cause accelerated skin aging and damage to our complexion.
The good news is that antioxidants have been proven to protect us from heavy metals by neutralizing their effects. Antioxidants work by eliminating free radicals—unstable molecules formed when oxygen undergoes chemical reactions—which are responsible for much of the skin-damaging oxidative stress we experience as we age. By getting rid of these free radicals, antioxidants not only prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging but they protect us from heavy metal toxicity as well.
When selecting a product containing antioxidants for your skincare routine, look for ones that contain ingredients specifically intended for protecting against heavy metals like EDTA or glutathione. Keep in mind that some products may not list these ingredients specifically due to proprietary reasons so you may need to do a bit of research beforehand in order to ensure you’re picking something up that contains all the right components for optimal skin health benefits.
Antioxidants help fight oxidative damage caused by free radicals in the environment such as air pollution and UV radiation. There are many types of antioxidants out there but some are better than others when it comes to fighting heavy metals specifically. Vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant because it helps neutralize free radicals while also boosting collagen production and brightening the skin. Vitamin E is another great one because it helps reduce inflammation while also repairing skin damage caused by environmental factors like UVA/UVB rays and blue light exposure from digital devices. Finally, green tea extract is great for fighting off free radicals because it contains epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce redness and irritation caused by environmental stressors like air pollution or smoke exposure.
Hydroxytyrosol is one such antioxidant, present in olive oil, and is regarded as a vital element when it comes to skincare applications. It is skin-safe and effective, with several proven advantages for long-term health. Hydroxytyrosol is a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals. It also helps reduce inflammation, wrinkles, and other indications of skin aging, making it a perfect choice for anybody trying to improve their skin’s appearance organically.
It’s important to apply your antioxidant serum as soon as possible after being exposed to environmental toxins or pollutants like smoke or dust particles so that your skin can be protected from oxidative damage before it starts taking its toll on your complexion. You should also apply your antioxidant serum every morning after cleansing and toning before applying any other products such as moisturizer or sunscreen for optimal protection against free radicals throughout the day.
As you can see, adding an antioxidant serum into your skincare routine isn’t just beneficial for protecting against environmental stressors – it’s also effective at protecting against heavy metal buildup in our bodies! So next time you’re shopping for an antioxidant serum, make sure it contains active ingredients that will keep your skin safe from these harmful substances too! With the right product, you’ll not only look great but you’ll feel healthy knowing your complexion is being protected inside and out. While there is still a lot we don’t know about how exactly antioxidants work to fight off heavy metal toxicity, we do know that they are essential for overall skin health and can help keep your skin looking younger for longer. For all these reasons (and more!), it’s important for everyone to find a quality antioxidant serum for their daily skincare regimen!
“As far as I can remember I have always struggled with sensitive skin. The issues culminated in my mid-twenties when I started having rosacea flares and redness. My personal quest for effective, safe solutions took a professional turn, and I was given the opportunity to apply my (Pharma) background in developing a new skin friendly product line. My goal was to create something new, a clinically proven sustainable skincare brand. This science backed probiotic skincare derived technology is a product of years of research and innovation in personal care products. Metabiotics contain naturally produced hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, SMase, lipoteichoic acid, over 40 peptides and enzymes. All assigned with specific tasks for activating the skins native repair mechanisms.”

Following the principles of Clean Beauty, we have joined the dedicated stream of safe, non-toxic beauty enthusiasts.
Our products contain carefully selected hypoallergenic ingredients suitable for sensitive and reactive skin.
We’re committed to formulating with natural, organically-derived, and skin-friendly synthetics while excluding popular “good feeling” and potentially harmful compounds to provide the best skincare solutions.
“It is easy to get hooked on conventional products, with inviting perfumes and the instantly pleasant skin feeling. The sooner you understand that those sensations are short-lived the better! Choose Clean Beauty and allow the science backed ingredients time to work wonders on your skin.”
Our products’ superiority has been proven in a controlled study on 50 volunteers where it was shown that four-week product use leads to a significant increase in skin moisture levels (39%), increased skin elasticity (50%), and a decrease in the appearance of wrinkles (23%).
Other beneficial effects include decrease in skin sensitivity, increase in skin cleanliness, evenness of the skin tone, decrease in acne formation.
This study serves as proof of the skin’s gradual return of its protective layer, integrity, and balance. All study results have been published in a peer reviewed journal as well as the full study report.
“Putting all science aside, we are most proud of our users’ testimonials. All tested volunteers claimed visible and tangible improvement in skin feel and appearance.”
The greatest breakthrough discovery we stumbled upon is that skincare and cosmetics should not be sensational.
Personal care should be comprehensive, accessible, and efficient, just as all solutions that come from nature are.
We are often faced with labels such as anti aging skin care, organic skin care, natural skincare products, which lack the necessary explanation… What do these phrases actually mean?
“Grown tired of all the misleading, incomprehensive, irrelevant information used in the beauty industry we decided to stick to a no-nonsense approach. It is what it is, and skin care is not magic! It requires commitment, patience and understanding your skins’ needs.”

Today’s trends in skincare require the use of synthetic active ingredients which interact with the skin. Our approach is to distinguish natural alternatives, which mimic the skins native repair mechanism and are more efficient and ecologically sound.
Translating solutions from nature into industrial settings is hardly an easy task, but it’s one we enjoy undertaking.
We have screened 500+ different wild probiotic strains from the nature, to find the most powerful ones.
Special fermentation process was developed to harvest powerful molecules (HA, LTA, SMase, LA and 40 peptides).
Result is the composition of native signal components and molecules that keep the skin balanced, healthy and protected.
