Amitose™ HGA

INCI Name:Hexyl 3-Glyceryl Ascorbate
Functions:Whitening Agent, Humectant, Lightening Agent
Labeling Claims:Preservative-free

Amitose™ HGA, "Lightening vitamin C", is a novel stable vitamin C derivative produced by binding Vitamin C (ascrobic acid), glycerin and an alkyl group together using SEIWA KASEI's original technology. It provides excellent skin moisture but particularly excels at skin lightening. In fact, Amitose™ HGA skin lightening mechanism is the world first of its kind. First, it inhibits melanin synthesis more effectively than most ascorbic acid derivatives. Secondly, Amitose™ HGA inhibits and reverses melanin transport. Lastly, melanin is degraded by autophagy which won the 2016 Nobel Prize. Those mechanism leads to consequently supress dark spots, a truly unique mechanism in Vitamin C derivatives. Amitose™ HGA can be used in a large variety of formulae : skin toners, transparent gel-serums and emulsions such as creams. This product is preservative free water-soluble ingredient.

Labeling Claims:Preservative-free, Credo Clean Standard
Benefit Claims:Moisturizing, Antioxidant Properties, Anti-Aging, Skin Lightening

Amitose™ 3GA, "Anti-aging vitamin C", is a novel stable vitamin C derivative produced by binding Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and glycerin using SEIWA KASEI's original technology. In addition to providing skin moisture and inhibiting melanin production, Amitose™ 3GA has an excellent anti-oxydant effect. In fact, Amitose™ 3GA acts inside the cell where it decreases oxydanting agents, the reactive oxygen species (ROS). Its intracellular oxydant effect and cost effectiveness make it perfect for serum, high concentration formulae, anti-aging care and many other formulae. This product is preservative free water-soluble ingredient. It is developed and manufactured in Japan by SEIWA KASEI.

Amitose™ 3LGA

INCI Name:3-Laurylglyceryl Ascorbate
Functions:Humectant, Anti-Pollution Agent, Moisturizing Agent
Labeling Claims:Preservative-free
Benefit Claims:Anti-Pollution, Skin Lightening, Moisturizing

Amitose™ 3LGA, "Ceramide Promoter", is a novel stable Vitamin C derivative produced by binding Vitamin C (ascrobic acid), glycerin and an alkyl group together using SEIWA KASEI's original technology. In addition to providing excellent skin-moisture and inhibitory effect on melanin production, Amitose™ 3LGA improves skin barrier functions in an unprecedented way. Indeed, this complexe ascorbic acid derivative greatly increases ceramide synthesis which is one of the most important elements in the skin barrier mechanism. The increase in ceramide thickens the lamellar structure of the stratum corneum and greatly decreases transpidermal water loss. Furtermore, Amitose™ 3LGA also boosts the intracellular antioxidant system by removing reactive oxygen species (ROS) thus providing enhanced anti-pollution effect. The way this antioxidant mechanism works is unique to Amitose™ 3LGA and is highly effective even at low dosage. Lastly, we observed an inhibition of nerve fiber elongation which leads to a decrease in skin sensitivity. Amitose™ 3LGA can be used in gel serums and emulsions such as creams. This product is preservative free. It is developed and manufactured in Japan by SEIWA KASEI.
