Other Active Ingredients

  • Ferulic Acid

    Ferulic Acid

    Ferulic acid has phenolic acid structure, is a weak acid organic acid, but also with a variety of strong antioxidants (such as resveratrol, vitamin C, etc.) synergistic tyrosinase inhibitors, both can whitening antioxidant, and can prevent inflammation and multi-effect products.

    Ferulic acid powder, like many phenols, is an antioxidant in the sense that it is reactive toward free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS and free radicals are implicated in DNA damage, accelerated cell aging.

  • Phenylethyl Resorcinol

    Phenylethyl Resorcinol

    Phenylethyl Resorcinol is served as a newly lightening and brightening ingredient in skin care products with better stability and security, which is widely used in whitening, freckle removing and anti-aging cosmetics.

    It is an antioxidant that is considered effective in influencing the formation of pigmentation, and therefore able to lighten the skin.

  • Pro-Xylane

    Pro-Xylane

    Pro-Xylane is a kind of highly effective anti-aging ingredients made from natural plant essences combined with biomedical achievements. Experiments have found that Pro-Xylane can effectively activate the synthesis of GAGs, promote the production of hyaluronic acid, synthesis of collagen, adhesion between the dermis and the epidermis, the synthesis of epidermal structural components as well as the regeneration of damaged tissue, and maintain skin elasticity. Several in vitro tests have shown that Pro-Xylane can increase mucopolysaccharide(GAGs) synthesis by up to 400%. Mucopolysaccharides(GAGs) have various biological featuress in the epidermis and dermis, including filling extracellular space, retaining water, promoting the remodeling of the dermal layer structure, improving skin fullness and elasticity so as to smooth wrinkles, hide pores, diminish pigmentation spots, comprehensively improve the skin and achieve a photon skin rejuvenation effect.

  • 1, 3-Dihydroxyacetone

    1, 3-Dihydroxyacetone

    1, 3-Dihydroxyacetone also known as glycerone, is a simple carbohydrate (a triose) with formula C 3H 6O 3. 1, 3-Dihydroxyacetone is a naturally occurring ketose that is biodegradable, edible and non-toxic to human body and the environment. It is a versatile additive that can be used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries.

  • Zn-PCA

    Zn-PCA

    Zinc Pyrrolidone Carboxylate Zinc PCA (PCA-Zn) is a zinc ion in which sodium ions are exchanged for bacteriostatic action, while providing moisturizing action and excellent bacteriostatic properties to the skin.

    A large number of scientific studies have shown that zinc can reduce the excessive secretion of sebum by inhibiting 5-a reductase. The zinc supplementation of the skin helps to maintain the normal metabolism of the skin, because the synthesis of DNA, cell division, protein synthesis and the activity of various enzymes in human tissues are inseparable from zinc.

  • Octocrylene

    Octocrylene

    Octocrylene is a UVB sunscreen with strong water-resistant properties and a rather broad-band absorption range. It exhibits good photostability, and is being evaluated by many companies as an effective SPF booster and waterproofing enhancer. This is an expensive ingredient with an approved usage level of 7 to 10 percent in both the United States and the European Union. Although gaining in popularity among formulators, its cost and usage level can limit use. In addition, some studies are indicating it may cause allergic reactions in skin with a history of photoallergy.
