Product Introduction

Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol, also known as Lipochroman-6, is a "bio-inspired molecule" that is engineered to be similar to gamma-tocopoherol. This results in a powerful antioxidant that results in protection from Radical Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbonal Species. Studies have shown DMC to have higher antioxidative power than many well-known antioxidants, like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, CoQ 10, Green Tea Extract, etc. In skincare, studies have shown it to have benefits on: wrinkle depth, skin elasticity, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation, and lipid peroxidation.

The primary function Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol is to protect the skin from oxidative stress, which can be caused by environmental factors such as pollution, UV radiation, and other harmful elements. By neutralizing free radicals, Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol helps maintain the integrity and appearance of the skin.

Besides robust antioxidant activity, Dimethylmethoxy chromanol exhibits outstanding long-term stability in products. Many potent antioxidants lose their activity when stored in solution for a longer time, whereas lipochroman-6 maintains and even enhances its antioxidant properties.

Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid. It is a compound for aiding the tightening of the skin. Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol is a versatile ingredient that is suitable for various skin types, including sensitive, oily, dry, and combination skin. Due to its antioxidant properties, it can be beneficial for anyone looking to protect their skin from environmental stressors and maintain its overall health.

This makes it suitable for both vegans and vegetarians who are conscious about the ingredients in their skincare products. Its compatibility with different skin types and its cruelty-free status make Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol a popular and inclusive choice for a wide range of individuals.

Dimethylmethoxy chromanol, is an extraordinary molecule that fights against all radicals, protecting from a broad spectrum of reactive species and premature skin aging. Dimethylmethoxy chromanol is a better antioxidant than superstar skincare ingredients such as Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Resveratrol, and BHT. In addition, Dimethylmethoxy chromanol is a remarkable molecule that can capture both nitrogen and oxygen radicals, making it one of the most potent oxygen-radical scavengers.

While it is primarily used as an ingredient in commercial formulations, it is also possible to purchase it as a standalone ingredient for DIY skincare enthusiasts or for those who wish to incorporate it into their existing skincare regimen.
