Reactive oxygen species take part in several degenerative processes to the organism. 1 Epidemiological and experimental studies have provided an effective evidence of a critical association between free radicals and the development of early aging. 2,3 Some applied antioxidants are able to block the harmful effects of free radicals as a prophylactic measure, resulting in normal production of structural proteins of the skin. 1,4 Polyphenolic compounds are substances widely distributed in nature, related to the plant survival and its species perpetuation. Several studies associated the chemical structure of phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity. Phenolic nucleus presence acts out as an efficient sensor of reactive species, which also reduces and chelates ferric ions that catalyze lipid peroxidation. 5
