Abstract: In an era where beauty is universally cherished, skincare products have become essential in daily life. SOD honey is one such product, where the key active ingredient is superoxide dismutase (SOD). This experiment, based on the mechanism of SOD action, investigates how SOD scavenges superoxide radicals to delay skin aging. Additionally, it explores the role of excipients like dimethyl silicone oil and glyceryl stearate in facilitating the penetration of SOD through the skin’s stratum corneum. Through the demonstration and interactive engagement of this science popularization experiment, the audience gains insights into the mechanisms of SOD honey’s components, including surface tension and the emulsifying effects of surfactants. This experience highlights the pervasive presence of chemistry in everyday life and stimulates curiosity and interest in chemical exploration and learning.

Key words: Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Antioxidant, Dimethyl silicone oil, Glyceryl stearate, Emulsification
