DISODIUM PHOSPHOCREATINE

Description

Disodium Phosphocreatine is a specialized compound derived from creatine, a naturally occurring substance in muscle tissues. This ingredient has gained attention in the skincare and haircare industries for its potential benefits in cellular energy production and protection against environmental stressors. As a phosphorylated form of creatine, it offers enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to its precursor.

In skincare formulations, Disodium Phosphocreatine functions as an energy booster for skin cells, potentially improving their ability to repair and regenerate. It may help fortify the skin's barrier function and increase resilience against oxidative stress. Some studies suggest it can enhance the production of collagen and elastin, contributing to improved skin firmness and elasticity.

In haircare products, this ingredient is believed to energize hair follicles and strengthen the hair shaft from within. It may help in reducing hair breakage and improving overall hair health. Disodium Phosphocreatine is water-soluble and can be incorporated into various product types, including serums, creams, and hair treatments. Its stability in formulations makes it a versatile option for formulators seeking to enhance the energizing and protective properties of their products.
