Superoxide Dismutase

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant enzyme naturally found in living organisms, including human skin. It forms part of the skin’s natural defence system by helping convert highly reactive superoxide radicals into less harmful molecules before they can contribute to oxidative stress.

Unlike many conventional antioxidants that are consumed during the neutralisation process, SOD functions as an enzyme catalyst, meaning it can support the neutralisation of multiple free radicals.

Superoxide Dismutase is developed through biotechnology, allowing the ingredient to be produced with high purity, consistency and quality.

Biotechnology enables the controlled development of complex bioactive ingredients while reducing reliance on traditional extraction methods. This reflects Bioli’s philosophy of selecting innovative ingredients that combine efficacy, skin compatibility and thoughtful production.

Many commonly used antioxidants in skincare, such as vitamin C, vitamin E and plant-derived polyphenols, work by neutralising free radicals through chemical reactions. During this process, the antioxidant itself is gradually consumed.

Superoxide Dismutase works differently. As an enzyme catalyst, it helps convert highly reactive superoxide radicals into less harmful molecules without being consumed in the same way. This unique biological function allows SOD to provide targeted antioxidant support and helps protect skin from oxidative stress.

Superoxide Dismutase helps:

– Protect skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
– Support the skin’s natural defence mechanisms.
– Reduce the visible effects of environmental stress.
– Maintain healthier-looking and more resilient skin.
– Support a balanced, well-protected complexion.

Superoxide Dismutase is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is particularly beneficial for skin exposed to environmental stressors or for those looking to support long-term skin health and resilience.

Yes. Superoxide Dismutase is gentle enough for daily skincare use. Regular use helps provide ongoing antioxidant support and helps protect the skin against daily environmental stress.

Bioli chose Superoxide Dismutase because it combines advanced biotechnology with a naturally occurring biological defence mechanism. Its ability to support the skin’s antioxidant protection reflects Bioli’s philosophy of selecting ingredients that combine proven biological function, skin compatibility and thoughtful production.
