Vitamins & provitamins

Vitamins are known for their critical role in human health and in all body tissues, including the skin. Some vitamins, such as vitamins A and E, or pantothenic acid in the form of panthenol, are not only ingested. They can be applied directly to the skin to protect its structure or prevent premature aging.

Many vitamins and provitamins are included in nearly all exclusive beauty products. Due to their ability to fight the harmful effects of sunlight UV irradiation, immunity-enhancing function, and anti-inflammatory properties, they have significant protective effects on the skin.

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
Like other forms of Vitamin C, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate helps prevent cellular aging by inhibiting the cross-linking of collagen, oxidation of proteins, and lipid peroxidation.
Psoralea Corylifolia
Bakuchiol is a derivative from the psoralea corylifolia plant used in oriental medicine. The first natural alternative to retinol.
Benzyl Nicotinate

Benzyl Nicotinate (3-pyridine carboxylic acid phenylmethyl ester) is an ester of Niacin (nicotinic acid or Vitamin B3) with benzyl alcohol,  a member of the nicotinate family of compounds with a rubefacient action on the skin.

Beta-Carotene

A duo of active skin lightening agents affects melanin in two different ways. Hexylresorcinol is an effective inhibitor of tyrosinase - an important enzyme involved in melanin synthesis. Niacinamide is one of the active forms of Vitamin B3 (Niacin) that prevents reaching melanin to the skin's surface.
Coenzyme Q10
Co-Enzyme Q10 is referred to as a vitamin-like anti-oxidant and is naturally found in nearly every living cell in the human body. This ingredient may assist in fighting off the damaging effects of free radicals and maintain the beautiful radiance of your skin.
Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12)
Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) is a powerful antioxidant that can scavenge even nitric oxide radicals; thus, it is used for handling pathological skin conditions. It improves ATP production, reviving, energizing, and speeding up recovery processes in the skin.
A stabilized form of Vitamin A, Encapsulated Retinol supports skin's natural immune system function to hydrate, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and reveal a radiant glow.
Panthenyl ethyl ether
Ethyl Panthenol (or Panthenyl ethyl ether) is the ethyl ether derivative of Panthenol (provitamin B5). As a result of the presence of an ethyl group, the penetration into hair and skin is enhanced, and the moisturization effect is increased.

Lipogard is a vitamin complex that has a high content of ubiquinone 50 (coenzyme Q 10) mixed with vitamin E acetate (dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) and is dissolved in plant-derived squalane.

Lutein
Lutein is one of the carotenoids, an anti-aging ingredient, powerful free-radicle quenching antioxidant found in plants, fruits, and leafy green vegetables. Lutein stimulates the skin’s renewal process; helps fight the damaging effects of sunlight, pollution, stress, and aging.
Lycopene
Lycopene G is carotenoid derived from fruits and vegetables. It has antioxidant ability to defend skin from UV radiation and damage.
L-ascorbyl phosphate
Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (MAP) is an esterified derivative of Vitamin C. Unlike L-ascorbic acid, which is lipophobic (only water-soluble), has low pH, and unstable, MAP is lipophilic forms of vitamin C, which is stable at neutral pH.
L-ascorbyl phosphate

Nano LPD's Lightening is a Sodium ascorbyl phosphate encapsulated with nano-lipids sized less than 250nm in diameter. Capsules are mainly made of natural phospholipids that are structural analogs of the cellular membranes.

Niacin (Vitamin B3)
Niacin (Vitamin B3), as an effective component in skin care, has won the hearts of many for a long time, if you are not yet aware of why it is so popular, then look for answers in here.
Niacinamide

Panthenol (Provitamin B5)
Panthenol is a provitamin of Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), part of the B-complex group, is present in all living cells and is a constituent of coenzyme A. The critical function of this coenzyme is to act as a carrier in acetylation reactions (Krebs cycle).
Vitamin B5 and citric acid combine to provide deep-penetrating moisture, infinitely soothe the skin and maintain softness and elasticity.
Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6)
Pyridoxine is one of the forms of Vitamin B6 that acts as a Co-enzyme for cell metabolism.

L-ascorbyl phosphate
This particular Vitamin C derivative can be used to stimulate collagen repair thus diminishing some of the effects of photo aging. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is also capable of replenishing Vitamin E’s antioxidant capacity.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is the tetra-ester of l-ascorbic acid and 2-Hexadecenoic acid, which means that Vitamin C conjugated (esterized) with four lipophilic parts of the 2-hexadecenoic version of isopalmitic acid (an isomer of palmitic acid), which makes it very stable in formulations and give

This mix of potent tocopherols from Vitamin E is highly protective, guarding the skin against the damage caused by free radicals to reduce the appearance of age spots, lines, wrinkles and pigmentation issues.
