AZA60, Azelaic Acid, DF-AZA60, a high water solubility Powder Form

Azelaic Acid - DF-AZA60

DF-AZA60 is the result of the teamwork between our company and our partner lab, a new offer by Dermafactors LLC.

As you already know, Azelaic Acid, also known as Hydroxyacetic Acid, is a unique ingredient extracted from natural plants. It belongs to the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) family and is known for its gentle and skin-friendly properties. With its skin-calming benefits, it is particularly effective for acne-prone rosacea skin types with hyperpigmentation issues. 

As an extraordinary skincare ingredient, Azelaic acid can be challenging to incorporate into a formula at the right concentration for some specific skin concerns, such as Rosacea and acne.

The most challenging issues for a formulator to overcome are the low water solubility and recrystallization issues that occur when the formulation is made at higher concentrations. If you have ever formulated with azelaic acid for a higher concentration, you may have experienced some difficulties. But, with AZA60, those are no longer problems, even for the inexperienced DIYers. Simply add it to the water phase and stir. It will dissolve nicely without worrying about recrystallization, allowing for a 20% concentration of AZ for professional use.

Applications:

1. This ingredient is commonly used in the doctor's office for rosacea, acne, and hyperpigmentation skincare. 
2. At a lower level, it can be used in anti-aging skin products, such as emulsions, serum, and toners, for its skin hydration, antioxidant, and exfoliating properties.
3. AZA60 can also be used in cleansers and body washes.
