Pyridoxine is one of the forms of Vitamin B6 that acts as a Co-enzyme for cell metabolism.
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.
Pyridoxine Cyclic Phosphate is a white to light yellow powder, a stable Vitamin B6 derivative for skin and hair care preparations. It exhibits good stability under sunlight and heat, at a pH range of 6.5-8.0, and good compatibility with other vitamins.
Pyridoxine Dipalmitate (Vitamin B6 Dipalmitate) is a white or similar white crystal or crystalline powder; odorless. It can be easily dissolved in oil, slightly dissolved in ethanol by hot, and cannot be dissolved in water.
Reticap is a polymeric microencapsulated retinol specifically designed to keep its activity due to the stability enhancement in its formulation. This complex is a stable aqueous dispersion.
Retinol is one of the forms of vitamin A (also called vitamin A1) that plays a critical role in maintaining essential functions in the body.
Retinol 15 D is a vitamin complex, yellow oil that may crystallize at temperatures below 0 °C; approx. 15 % solution of retinol in caprylic/capric triglyceride stabilized with BHT. It is miscible with fats and oils.
Retinyl Acetate is a vitamin A ester with acetic acid, an active ingredient for skin and oral care applications. It is an oily yellow liquid at room temperature (it may contain some crystals of vitamin A acetate) with a mild odor.
Retinyl Palmitate is a stable form of vitamin A that acts as a skin normalizer, this nutrient helps remind the cells of what they "did" when they were young. In addition, it nourishes the skin when applied topically.
Retinyl Palmitate/Carrot Polypeptide is an ingredient known under the trade name Vitazyme™ A. It is a retinyl palmitate polypeptide conjugate, where retinyl palmitate bonded covalently with a natural polypeptide derived from a carrot.
Retinyl Propionate is an ester of retinol and propionic acid, one of the stable forms of vitamin A.
RetiStar™ is a stabilized retinol in an oily dispersion. Traditionally, retinol in formulation requires the use of inert gas technology during manufacturing and packaging for its stability.
Silicone Quaternium-2 Panthenol Succinate is a silicone panthenol quaternary compound that has outstanding substantivity to hair. It is a water-soluble clear liquid with a mild odor.
Compared with pure L-Ascorbic acid, Sodium Ascorbate has better bioavailability thanks to the presence of Na+ cation.
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 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.
Vitamin E (tocopherol) has been shown to take part in a number of different biochemical reactions in the body. It is a powerful free radical scavenger, boosts immune function, and helps in the formation of red blood cells along with the trace minerals, selenium, vitamin A, and vitamin K.
Tocopheryl acetate is a specific type of vitamin E in a class of organic chemicals known as tocopherols. These compounds are considered fat-soluble antioxidants, but they also have many other functions in the body.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that defends skin from oxidative stress and premature aging. These fat-soluble vitamins naturally occurring in many foods (e.g., walnut), and essential oils leave important photoprotective and anti-photoaging effects on the skin cell, preserving lipid barrier, original beauty, and health.
UTMF Retinol is a complex with a silicone-based delivery system for retinol stabilization inside skin semi-occlusive film-formers.
Vitadex is a multifunctional vitamin complex with lifting, antiwrinkle, and local microcirculation improvement properties — including three cosmetic activities. It is a clear yellowish water-soluble liquid with a characteristic odor.
vitAlease 3.3 is a complex with high retinol levels (3.3 %) in wax capsules for every formulation.
Retinol is a challenging ingredient for cosmetic products. Formulators face two challenges: first, increasing the stability of retinol in cosmetic applications to prevent its degradation and maintain its effectiveness, and second, minimizing the potential side effects of skin irritation.
Vitamin A in cosmetic preparations is intended for all skin types. Mature skin becomes supple and radiant, and wrinkles are reduced.
Vitamin B5 is used as a wound-healing accelerator and a moisturizer. It widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
Vitamin C also known as L-Ascorbic acid plays a crucial role in human skin. It performs a large number of duties to ensure the radiance, firmness, and youthful look of the skin.
Vitamin E natural antioxidant is extracted from vegetable oils. It was originally extracted from wheat germ oil, but now most of the natural vitamin E comes from soy or sunflower seeds.
Vitazyme® A-Plus is a retinyl palmitate/carrot protein/beta-carotene complex, which, in contrast to all commercially available forms of vitamin A, delivers the vitamin as a water-dispersible substance.
Potent antioxidant that guards against oxidation and free radical damage caused by UV exposure. Protects collagen, keeping skin firm.
