Ergothioneine: A Quiet Workhorse in Antioxidant Formulas
Ergothioneine is an amino acid derivative that most organisms cannot manufacture for themselves — it reaches us largely through fungi. Formulators value it because it stays stable in water-based systems where more fragile antioxidants struggle, so it tends to sit alongside vitamin C and vitamin E to round out a defense blend rather than headline one.
You will find it in Revision Skincare C+ Correcting Complex, SkinBetter Science Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum, Alastin Restorative Skin Complex and Alastin C-Radical Defense Antioxidant Serum. Revision Skincare, Alastin, SkinBetter Science and Obagi each use it in at least one product we stock.
What does ergothioneine do that vitamin C does not?
Its practical advantage is stability. Where a vitamin C serum needs careful packaging and has a shorter usable window, ergothioneine holds up well, so it keeps contributing to the blend over the life of the bottle.
