Skin care

Understanding vitamins and moreDo you know the benets of vitamins in Personal Care?A Vitamin A Vitamin A has proved to be very e�ective in various skin care applications. Retinol, the pure alcohol form of the vitamin A, is known to be the gold standard in the skin ageing. It visibly improves the appearance of ne lines and wrinkles, increases skin rmness and smoothness, and evens out dark spots and age spots. Vitamin A palmitate is the ester form most widely used in the anti-ageing formulations thanks to its stability. It induces epidermal thickening as well as increases collagen accumulation in the dermis eventually resulting in a stronger skin barrier function and skin smoothness. All forms of vitamin A require adequate stabilization in cosmetic preparations.RETINOL GS 50427.5-495 mg Retinol Equivalent/gRecommended concentration: 0.1–0.2%Vitamin A Palmitate 1.7 million IU/g935 mg Retinol Equivalent/gRecommended concentration: 0.05–0.3%The version without stabilizers is also available under the product code 0424005.Vitamin A Palmitate 1.0 million IU/g550 mg Retinol Equivalent/gRecommended concentration: 0.05–0.6%.

Compliance with country-specic maximum levels must be observed by the user.

B3 Niacinamide PC Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) is a very stable vitamin which o�ers a wide range of well-documented topical benets. It is a popular and widely used skin-lightening ingredient. However, its activity prole goes far beyond this: niacinamide may enhance the e�cacy of products designed for blemished skin, dry and sensitive skin or anti-wrinkle treatment. DSM o�ers a special cosmetic grade of niacinamide, Niacinamide PC, which has a low level of residual nicotinic acid to address any concerns about unpleasant skin sensations.

B5 Panthenol

D-Panthenol is the provitamin of D-pantothenic acid. The substance, also known as pro-vitamin B5, is valued in skin and hair care for its moisturizing properties. However, the influence of panthenol on

Technical ingredients

Vitamin antioxidants are used to stabilize oxygen- sensitive ingredients in cosmetic formulations.Ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C) and dl-α-Tocopherol and Mixed Tocopherols (vitamin E) protect cosmetic formulations against oxidation.

the epithelialization process together with its anti-inflammatory properties also make it ideal for soothing sensitive or irritated skin. Because it is hygroscopic, panthenol acts as a humectant for hair. It adheres strongly to the cuticle and penetrates deep into the cortex of the hair sha�, thus improving the resistance of hair to mechanical stress.

B6 Pyridoxine Hydrochloride

Vitamin B6 may stimulate the healthy-looking appearance of hair and contribute to the e�cacy of anti-dandru� products. Its main market applications are therefore in hair care. Topical vitamin B6 appears to reduce sebum levels and limit the area of oily spots.

B7 Biotin

Biotin improves the quality of keratin structures and hence has a positive e�ect on ne and brittle hair and nails. Although a key reputation for biotin is in hair-loss products, a combination of biotin and STAY-C® 50(patent granted) also demonstrated signicant synergies in skin care, where it reduced age spots and evened the skin tone.

B9 Folic acid

Folic acid is a powerful active in skin and sun care, with the ability to ght photoaging as well as general signs of aging. It slows premature skin aging by stimulating skin cells such as brobroblasts, while preventing DNA damage at the same time.

C STAY-C® 50

Our stable cosmetic vitamin C specialty STAY-C® 50 is a powerful antioxidant and multi-talent active addressing almost every skin care concern from acne to UV damage. STAY-C® 50 is an approved quasi-drug active ingredient for whitening products in Japan. 3D-skin-model and in vivo studies have demonstrated its intense skin lightening activity.

Vitamin C demonstrates synergistic antioxidant activity with vitamin E.

While STAY-C® 50 (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) is the active water-soluble ingredient that delivers vitamin C e�ciency in cosmetic preparations, ascorbyl

palmitate is an oil-soluble vitamin C antioxidant that protects cosmetic emulsions and oils against oxidation.

E Vitamin E

Vitamin E is the most widely used active ingredient in Personal Care. Its central role in Personal Care is that of a strong antioxidant, capturing free oxygen radicals generated by exposure to UV-light or pollution and preventing further damage. Generally, the addition of vitamin antioxidants (vitamin E and vitamin C) improves the photoprotection provided by sunscreens as a biological second line of defense against UV-induced premature skin aging.

In the form of tocopheryl acetate(dl-α-Tocopheryl Acetate), vitamin E is extremely stable in formulations. Indeed, this is the vitamin compound of choice for cosmetic preparations to deliver maximum vitamin e�cacy. In the form of tocopherols (dl-α-Tocopherol and Mixed Tocopherols) it is mostly used to stabilize oxygen-sensitive ingredients in formulations.

K1 Vitamin K1

Vitamin K1 has an important role in regulating blood circulation. In consequence, as a cosmetic ingredient it has the ability to improve skin imperfections which are related to vascular conditions, such as dark circles under the eyes.Not permitted in EU, ANDEAN, and ASEAN countries,Korea or India for cosmetic products.

Vitamin Blends

Our BeauPlex® VH blend is an all-in-one vitamin compound containing vitamins B3, B5, B6, C and E – all vitamins which are known to have a benecial and protective e�ect on the skin and the scalp, and to strengthen the hair.

RADIANCE CR (patent granted) is an active vitamin complex consisting of the stable vitamin C derivative STAY-C® 50 and biotin. Our e�cacy data show signicant and powerful fading of age spots following its application. RADIANCE CR also demonstrates proven benets in the reduction of wrinkles.

Today, we o�er the best scientic and application expertise for vitamins.Anticipating trends, we regularly present data about our vitamins and their synergies with other actives.We deliver consumer-relevant solutions across the segments we serve and o�er claim opportunities.
