A topical product to protect the skin from free radicals is disclosed in one embodiment of the invention as including a carrier medium for topical application to the skin. A sacrificial material that is compatible with the skin is interspersed with the carrier medium. This sacrificial material may be selected to react with free radicals within the skin. The sacrificial material may be further selected to react with water to produce hydrogen (a powerful antioxidant) and a reaction product that is also compatible with the skin. In this way, both the sacrificial material and the hydrogen will react with free radicals to provide protection against free radicals.
