HYDROXYDECYL UBIQUINOYL DIPALMITOYL GLYCERATE

Description

Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinoyl Dipalmitoyl Glycerate is an innovative skincare ingredient that combines the antioxidant properties of Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) with enhanced skin penetration capabilities. This lipid-soluble compound is designed to deliver the benefits of CoQ10 more effectively to the deeper layers of the skin.

The ingredient's unique structure allows it to penetrate the stratum corneum and reach the viable epidermis, where it can exert its antioxidant effects. It helps neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and supporting cellular energy production. This action may contribute to improved skin elasticity, reduced appearance of fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinoyl Dipalmitoyl Glycerate has shown potential in protecting skin cells from UV-induced damage and supporting the skin's natural defense mechanisms. It may also help in maintaining skin hydration and improving barrier function.

In formulations, this ingredient is typically used at concentrations between 0.1% to 1%. It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients and can be incorporated into various skincare products, including serums, creams, and lotions targeting anti-aging and skin protection benefits.
