Cetpro® Actives
| Name | INCI | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cetpro® AA-F | Azelaic Acid | Anti-Acne | Azelaic Acid has antioxidant, anti- inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It is also an anti-keratinising agent. |
| Cetpro® AAB | Alpha Arbutin | Skin Brightening | Alpha arbutin is a natural skin-brightening ingredient derived from the bearberry plant. The action of alpha arbutin is to prevent the synthesis of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. By lowering the production of melanin, alpha arbutin can assist in fading dark spots and balancing skin tone. |
| Cetpro® AG | Ascorbyl Glucoside | Anti-Ageing | Ascorbyl Glucoside is an excellent antioxidant. It can dramatically reduce the free radicals that result from UV irradiation of skin. |
| Cetpro® ALA | Thioctic Acid | Anti-Ageing | Topical use of ALA on the skin has shown some success in the anti-aging arena with its antioxidant properties to prevent wrinkles, anti-inflammatory capabilities to help acne, and exfoliative benefits to fade brown spots. |
| Cetpro® AP MB | Ascorbyl Palmitate | Anti-Ageing/Skin Brightening | Ascorbyl palmitate is a gentle, stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C. It effectively penetrates into the upper layer of the skin. This ester reduces hyperpigmentation and has myriad benefits like fighting free radicals, collagen synthesis & anti-aging effects. |
| Cetpro® ATIP | Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate | Anti-Ageing/Skin Brightening | Oil soluble Vitamin C derivative that has a higher rate of penetration (because it is lipid soluble, like human skin) than other derivatives; it also has a higher rate of conversion to Vitamin C within the dermis. |
| Cetpro® Biotin | Biotin | Skin/Hair Care Active | Biotin (also known as Coenzyme R, Vitamin H and Vitamin B7) is mainly used for its moisturising and smoothing properties. It’s believed to improve the texture in creams, and also add shine, manageability and body to the hair. |
| Cetpro® Copper Gluconate | Copper Gluconate | Anti-Ageing | Copper gluconate firms the skin by improving collagen and elastin. It revitalises skin by providing elemental or ionic copper. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps modulate the inflammation process and decreases the allergic response of skin to external allergens |
| Cetpro® DL – MA | Mandelic Acid | Anti-Ageing | An appropriate treatment for a wide variety of skin concerns, from acne to wrinkles. |
| Cetpro® EAC | 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid | Skin Brightening | Cetpro® EAC is modified Ascorbic Acid. This increases the molecule’s stability and enhances its transport through the skin, compared to pure Vitamin C which is easily degraded. |
| Cetpro® FA Natural | Ferulic Acid | Antioxidant | Ferulic acid has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. |
| Cetpro® HA-CAT | Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate | Hair Care Active | Cetpro® HA-CAT is Cationic Hyaluronic Acid made from a cationic etherifying agent and sodium hyaluronate, which have good compatibility with anionic surfactants, enabling shampoos to have better cleansing and conditioning capacity. |
| Cetpro® IQC | Isoquercetin | Antioxidant | Isoquercetin is a potent antioxidant and skin conditioning agent that is found in apples, fruit and vegetables. |
| Cetpro® KA | Kojic Acid | Skin Brightening | Kojic acid blocks the UV activation of tyrosinase, thereby limiting melanin production. |
| Cetpro® KAD | Kojic Dipalmitate | Skin Whitening | It has the ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity in synthesis of melanin and is more stable than Kojic Acid |
| Cetpro® L-Glutathione | Glutathione | Anti-Ageing | L-Glutathione acts as an antioxidant, free radical scavenger and skin whitening agent |
| Cetpro® LBA | Lactobionic Acid | Exfoliating Agent | Lactobionic Acid helps prevent and reverse the appearance of photoaging, including lines and wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, enlarged pores and roughness. |
| Cetpro® MAP | Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate | Anti-Ageing | In addition to its effect as a radical scavenger, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is used in skin care products to lighten the skin and to support collagen synthesis. |
| Cetpro® ML | Menthyl Lactate | Cooling Agent | Menthyl Lactate is known for its cooling and soothing properties. When applied to the skin, it creates a refreshing and invigorating sensation that can help to soothe and calm irritated or sensitive skin. |
| Cetpro® NCA-EZM | Niacinamide | Anti-Ageing | Helps skin retain moisture, minimises the appearance of large pores and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines |
| Cetpro® MLT | Melatonin | Anti-Ageing | Melatonin penetrates the skin and activates the synthesis of antioxidant enzymes. These antioxidant enzymes work to block free radicals and therefore repair oxidative damage to the skin. This means melatonin is a major skin protectant, from free radical scavenging to DNA damage repair. |
| Cetpro® Pullulan | Pullulan | Film-Former, Skin Tightener, Rheology Modifier | Film-former, skin tightener, rheology modifier, synergistic effect with Vitamin C. |
| Cetpro® SAP | Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate | Anti-Ageing | Neutralises skin damaging free radicals, boosts collagen production, evens skin tone and has antimicrobial benefits |
| Cetpro® SCA | Succinic Acid | Anti-Acne | Succinic acid is a naturally derived dicarboxylic Acid. It is an effective anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial ingredient that helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria, making it an ideal ingredient for blemishes, blackheads and inflammatory lesions; helping to combat the acne without compromising the skin’s barrier. |
| Cetpro® SKA | Shikimic Acid | Anti-Ageing | Shikimic acid belongs to the AHA group of acids and has excellent exfoliating properties without causing irritation. Active antioxidant properties protect skin against premature ageing, whilst the acid effectively inhibits the development of Propionibacterium acnes. |
| Cetpro® TA | Tranexamic Acid | Skin Brightening | Blocks the production of melanin in the cells, prevents melanin from accumulating locally and dissolves the already present melanin. |
| Cetpro® THDA | Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate | Anti-Ageing/Skin Brightening | Oil soluble Vitamin C derivative that has a higher rate of penetration (because it is lipid soluble, like human skin) than other derivatives; it also has a higher rate of conversion to Vitamin C within the dermis. |
| Cetpro® VBE | Vanillyl Butyl Ether | Warming Agent | A unique sensory agent that provides a warming effect to the skin. |
| Cetpro® VP4 | Troxerutin | Anti-Ageing | Research has shown it functions as an antioxidant when applied topically, scavenging free radicals and preventing oxidative stress. It has also been shown to improve microcirculation and reduces capillary permeability, responsible for couperose. |
