HYDROXYDECYL UBIQUINONE LINOLEATE

Description

Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone Linoleate is an advanced, lipid-soluble derivative of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), engineered for enhanced skin penetration and efficacy. This novel compound combines the potent antioxidant properties of ubiquinone with improved stability and bioavailability. Its unique molecular structure allows for better absorption into the skin's deeper layers, where it can more effectively combat free radicals and support cellular energy production.

This ingredient functions as a powerful antioxidant, helping to neutralize oxidative stress and protect skin cells from environmental damage. It plays a crucial role in supporting mitochondrial function, thereby enhancing cellular energy and promoting skin repair processes. Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone Linoleate has demonstrated ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin firmness, and enhance overall skin tone.

In formulations, it is typically used at concentrations between 0.1% to 1%. Its lipophilic nature makes it compatible with a wide range of cosmetic vehicles, particularly oil-based formulations. This ingredient is especially beneficial in anti-aging products, protective day creams, and intensive night treatments. It synergizes well with other antioxidants and can complement ingredients that support skin barrier function and collagen production.
