At Aloderma, we meticulously select ingredients based on scientific evidence and safety standards. Hydroxyacetophenone stands out as a multifaceted player in our skincare arsenal, offering a wealth of benefits supported by research.
Hydroxyacetophenone is a synthetic ingredient commonly used in cosmetics for its multiple benefits:
Potent Antioxidant: Hydroxyacetophenone is a well-established free radical scavenger. In vitro studies have demonstrated its ability to neutralize these damaging molecules, protecting skin cells from oxidative stress. This translates to a potential reduction in visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, which are accelerated by free radical damage.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Research suggests that Hydroxyacetophenone modulates the activity of the COX-2 enzyme, a key player in the inflammatory response. This translates to reduced inflammation and irritation, making it a valuable addition to formulations targeting sensitive skin. Studies have shown its efficacy in mitigating irritation caused by surfactants, common ingredients in skincare products.
Skin Soothing: It possesses calming properties that can help reduce redness and discomfort.
Preservative Booster: While not a preservative itself, Hydroxyacetophenone can enhance the effectiveness of existing preservatives in cosmetic formulations. This allows for the use of lower preservative concentrations, potentially reducing the risk of irritation.
Safety Profile: Hydroxyacetophenone has undergone rigorous safety assessments by independent organizations like the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. The CIR Expert Panel concluded that Hydroxyacetophenone is safe for use in cosmetics at typical concentrations.
At Aloderma, we incorporate Hydroxyacetophenone into a wide variety of our products, including our best seller, Pure Aloe Vera Gel. This meticulous selection ensures that a broad range of our customers can experience the multifaceted benefits it offers.
By harnessing the power of science alongside the natural goodness of aloe vera, Aloderma is committed to providing skincare solutions that are as effective as they are gentle. Hydroxyacetophenone is a testament to this dedication, offering comprehensive skin protection and support.
