Acetyl Zingerone is commonly recognized for its potent antioxidant properties. It works in a unique way that no other ingredients could do by far. It is called "the next big thing" because it is a powerful, effective, and stable ingredient that reverses key signs of photo-aged skin and tightens the pores. 

As a multi-targeted antiaging molecule, Acetyl Zingerone can also counteract aging before it happens. It prevents skin damage and nurtures the skin’s own ability to maintain the integrity of the ECM for optimal health and appearance throughout life.

Placebo-controlled clinical studies revealed significant improvements in skin defense & reduction in wrinkles, pigmentation, and skin redness in photo-aged skin without the use of sunscreens.

Formulation Guide:

--For daily skin protection and anti-aging applications, use levels of 0.5-1% are recommended. As a chelating agent, the use level is 0.1 to 0.2%.

-- Formulation pH must be maintained in the acidic range (≤6.5).

-- Acetyl Zingerone is highly soluble (>20%) in quite a few solvents/solubilizers. The material should be pre-solubilized in the emollient phase with slight heating in order to avoid crystallization in the formulation over time.

-- Recommended solubilizers (solvents): Dimethyl Isosorbide (25%); Ethoxydiglycol (25%); Dipropylene Glycol (20%), Ethanol (20%), Isosorbide Dicaprylate (5-10%).

-- Solution of Acetyl Zingerone should be added to the formulation, post-emulsification, preferably below 50ºC.

--  Acetyl Zingerone is fully compatible with a wide range of emulsifiers, non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, as well as thickening agents and polymeric film formers.
