JIDEW® ZN-100 combines the skin-identical humectancy of L-pyrrolidone carboxylate (PCA)—a key component of the skin’s Natural Moisturising Factor—with the powerful oil-control and antimicrobial properties of Zinc. This synergy allows it to mattify the skin without causing dehydration, making it a “gold standard” for multifunctional oily skin care.
Key Benefit: Statistically significant reduction in sebum levels combined with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against dandruff and acne-causing organisms.
Performance & Clinical Data
- Clinical Sebum Control: An in vivo study demonstrated that a twice-daily application of an aqueous solution for four weeks produced a statistically significant decrease in skin sebum levels.
- Antimicrobial Spectrum: Demonstrates intrinsic antimicrobial potential against Gram-positive/negative bacteria, yeasts, and moulds, but does not provide broad spectrum protection
- Specialized Targets: Notably strong activity against Malassezia furfur (yeast associated with dandruff/seborrhoeic dermatitis) and Streptococcus mutans.
- Acne Support: Shows activity against Propionibacterium acnes, making it ideal for blemish-prone skin.
Formulation Guidelines
It is highly versatile across skin, hair, and color cosmetic applications.
