Ferulic acid is a common natural component found in plants, primarily located in the cell wall. It is widely used as a raw material of vanillin. Due to its strong antioxidant properties, ferulic acid can protect cells, making it an effective ingredient as an antioxidant and photostabilizer in cosmetics[1]. Additionally, ferulic acid is present in several herbal medicines such as female ginseng, Cimicifuga foetida, and Ligusticum wallichii. [2]
