Cosmetics with antioxidant properties are formulated to protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by environmental factors like UV radiation and pollution. These products typically contain antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, green tea extract, and coenzyme Q10, which help neutralize free radicals and prevent premature aging. The global market for antioxidant-based cosmetics is growing, with an estimated value of $5 billion, driven by increasing consumer awareness of skincare benefits. As the use of traditional animal testing in cosmetics is restricted in many countries, zebrafish larvae present an ethical and effective alternative for testing antioxidant properties.` This ensures compliance with modern regulations while advancing cosmetic innovation.
