- Product Background
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid
- A lipophilized derivative of salicylic acid, 2-hydroxyl-5-octanoyl benzoic acid, or capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA), ( beta - lipohydroxy Acid)
- An effective exfoliating agent due to its reduced penetration on the skin
Substituted Beta hydroxy acid
- Salicylic acid, a Beta-hydroxyl acid (BHAs) can enhance the rate of stratum corneum exfoliation in the same way as alpha-hydroxyl acids (AHAs)
- Minimizes of irritation often associated with AHAs
- Derivative of salicylic acid, an aromatic beta-hydroxyl acid, benefits in skin care are well established
- The use of salicylic acid and its derivatives in cosmetic products can improve fine lines and wrinkles associated with intrinsic aging and treat acne through topical application
- Salicylic acid and their derivatives have been suggested as a therapeutic agent for ameliorating the effects of photo-aging, the undesirable deterioration of the skin brought on by excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun
- The effects of photo-aging on the skin are manifested as wrinkles, sagging, discolorations and other undesirable physical changes
Capryloyl Substitution
- Capryloyl group attached to the 5 position of the salicylic acid moiety impart the skin beneficial properties to the molecule
- Capryloyl group mainly works as an emollient, enhancing the dispersing property of the molecule
- Helps the ingredient to quickly penetrate the surface to condition the skin, and provides a lightweight and non-greasy barrier of lubrication
- As a dispersing agent, it helps enhance the delivery of vitamins, pigments and other active ingredients contained in a solution so that they become evenly spread out and fully absorbed by the epidermis
- Allows easy spreadability of solutions and a smooth after-touch
