1、 Introduction to raw materials
Coenzyme Q10, also known as ubiquinone 10, is a lipid soluble quinone with a structure similar to vitamin K. It is named after the polymerization degree of the side chain at the sixth position of its parent nucleus, polyisoprene, which is 10. It is a quinone ring compound that can promote skin metabolism, inhibit skin lipid peroxidation, and has a more significant nourishing and activating effect on the skin than vitamin E and vitamin B.
2、 Application pain points
1: Coenzyme Q10 is extremely unstable to light and heat, easily degraded, and prone to deactivation
2: Coenzyme Q10 is insoluble in water and has poor compatibility with the matrix
3: Coenzyme Q10 is difficult to penetrate through the skin and enter the anti-aging target areas such as the dermis layer and target cells such as skin fibroblasts
3: Product advantages
1. High stability: effectively improves the photo/thermal stability of coenzyme Q10
2. High compatibility: easy to mix various matrices such as cream/essence/lotion/water agent/facial mask, suitable for transparent system
3. High bioavailability: The transdermal carrier promotes the transdermal absorption of coenzyme Q10, entering the skincare target area and target cells, effectively acting on cell mitochondria, and improving the bioavailability of coenzyme Q10
