Lexorez® TL-8 is an actives delivery polymer system that aids in controlled delivery of actives. Specifically, it is used in sunless tanning products as a delivery system for DHA (dihydroxyacetone) and is also effective in other skincare products with cosmetic actives, including anti-aging products.

Technical Details & Test Data

Science Behind

Lexorez™ TL-8 acts as a reservoir for actives by entrapping them within the polymer matrix.

  • Solubilizes actives into Polymeric Liquid Reservoir which holds actives and slows their diffusion into the stratum corneum (SC)
  • Low molecular weight facilitates uniform distribution of actives across the stratum corneum
  • Diffusion of actives into the epidermis is gradual over an extended period of time and the active interaction with Epidermis/Dermis is prolonged
  • Actives partition across the Reservoir/SC interface at a controlled rate (governed by Fick’s law of diffusion)
  • Reduces irritation typically caused by some cosmetic actives
  • Polymer structure prevents penetration of Lexorez™ TL-8 into SC
