Everguard CY

EverGuard CY is a multifunctional “Lipoglycine” that mimics the natural composition of the skin’s protective acid mantle. By combining a fatty acid with a fundamental amino acid, it provides a triple action: stabilizing the formulation’s microbial safety, regulating the skin’s ecosystem, and providing structural anti-aging benefits.

Key Benefit: Simultaneously inhibits acne-causing bacteria and protects dermal elastin while significantly boosting the performance of traditional preservative systems.

Performance & Biological Activity

  • Targeted Antimicrobial Efficacy: Demonstrates strong inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Cutibacterium acnes, making it a “gold standard” additive for oily and acne-prone skin formulations..

  • Acid Mantle Support: Helps maintain the skin’s natural pH balance, which is critical for a healthy microbiome and barrier function.

  • Elastin Protection: Functions as an elastase inhibitor, preventing the enzymatic breakdown of elastin fibers to maintain skin firmness and visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Formulation & Handling Guidelines

EverGuard CY requires specific temperature or pH adjustments to ensure complete solubilization. It needs to be dissolved in hot water, or in cold water at pH above 7.
