Key Features & Clinical Benefits
-
Hydration & Sensory: In vivo data confirms a statistically significant increase in skin hydration after 4 hours compared to a placebo. At 2%, it provides a light, velvet skin feel, reduces greasiness, and minimizes the “whitening effect”.
-
Active Performance Booster:
-
Self-Tanning: Enhances DHA performance for more homogeneous, long-lasting color and better hydration than dimethyl isosorbide.
-
Bioavailability: Boosts the bioavailability of carnosine and reduces UVA-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) by half when used in combination.
-
-
Pigment & Hair Care: Improves pigment dispersion in foundations for a more homogeneous color. It also significantly improves hair combability.
-
Protection Enhancer: Acts as a product protection enhancer, demonstrating broad-spectrum efficacy when paired with SymSave® H in aqueous gels.
Formulation & Stability Guidelines
-
Broad Stability: Stable and effective over a wide pH range and broad temperature spectrum.
-
Global Compliance: Globally compliant, including compliance with Japanese Standards of Quasi-Drug Ingredients (as an excipient).
-
Applications: Suitable for skin care, hair care, and oral care formulations.
