Kojic Acid Dipalmitate

Kojic Acid Dipalmitate (KAD) is an esterified derivative of Kojic Acid, a natural fungal metabolite known for its skin-lightening properties. It is more stable and effective than Kojic Acid, with enhanced solubility in oils and organic solvents.

Konjac Glucomannan

Konjac Glucomannan (KGM) is a natural dietary fiber derived from the tubers of the <em>Amorphophallus konjac</em> plant. It is a water-soluble polysaccharide composed of glucose and mannose units, known for its high viscosity, water absorption capacity, and gel-forming properties.

Kudzu Root Extract Powder

<strong>Kudzu Root Extract Powder</strong> is derived from the dried roots of the <em>Pueraria lobata</em> plant, a leguminous vine native to Asia. This extract is rich in bioactive compounds such as isoflavones (e.g., puerarin, daidzein, daidzin, and genistein), which are known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular benefits.

L Ergothioneine

Ergothioneine (EGT) is a natural amino acid with potent antioxidant activity. It is a water-soluble cosmetic raw material; it has good light and heat stability, and is not easily decomposed by oxidation. Therefore, ergothioneine is easy to be compatible with other active materials in cosmetics formulas. Moreover, ergothioneine is non-toxic in epidermal cells, so it will not produce any irritation when used topically with safety and effectiveness.  

L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium

L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium is an active form of folate, a B-vitamin essential for various biological processes. It is particularly important for individuals with genetic polymorphisms that affect folate metabolism, such as MTHFR mutations.

L-Arginine HCL

L-Arginine HCL, the hydrochloride salt of L-arginine, is a white crystalline, semi-essential amino acid derivative. Compared to L-arginine, it exhibits superior water solubility and chemical stability, maintaining solubility in acidic or neutral environments, which benefits formulation and usage.

L-Arginine-Alpha-Ketoglutarate

Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate, or AAKG. As its name implies, it contains L-arginine, an essential amino acid which our bodies naturally produce. It also contains A-ketoglutarate, a multi-functional molecule also produced in the body.

L-Arginine-L-pyroglutamate Powder

L-Arginine-L-Pyroglutamate is a combination of the amino acids L-arginine and L-pyroglutamate. It is known for its potential benefits in enhancing cognitive function, supporting immune health, and promoting overall well-being.

L-Asparagine

L-Asparagine, a non-essential amino acid, occurs naturally in plant proteins, particularly abundant in wheat and potatoes. Appearing as a white crystalline powder, it exists in anhydrous and monohydrate forms, with slight differences in physical properties such as melting point and solubility. Its amide group structure confers unique metabolic and chemical reaction characteristics.
