Applications of Natural PHA (Gluconolactone) and MOIST72™

Natural PHA (Gluconolactone)

Natural PHA (Gluconolactone) is a gentle exfoliating acid derived from corn. It offers a milder exfoliation compared to AHAs like Glycolic Acid, making it less irritating to the skin. This makes it ideal for formulations where you want to accelerate skin cell turnover without causing redness or burning sensations.

Key Applications:

• General Skin Care: Suitable for all types of skin care products that aim to exfoliate.
• Anti-Aging Formulas: Effective in wrinkle reduction formulas by promoting faster skin cell renewal.
• Sensitive Skin Formulations: An excellent choice for users who find traditional AHAs too harsh.

Usage Guidelines:

• Usage Rate: Typically used at 1-15%.
• pH: The final formula should have a pH between 3.4-4.5 for optimal efficacy.

MOIST72™

MOIST72™ is a plant-based sugar molecule extract designed to provide high, continuous, and long-lasting moisturizing effects for at least 72 hours. It mimics the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) and is highly versatile for various moisturizing needs.

Key Applications:

• Facial and Body Skin Care: Provides deep hydration, reduces irritation, and is suitable for normal, dry, and very dry skin conditions.
• Scalp Care: Helps moisturize the scalp, reducing dryness and flaking.
• Specific Skin Conditions: Highly beneficial for dry skin conditions such as eczema, dehydration, cracked skin, and cracked heels.
• Synergistic Use: Can be effectively combined with Ceramide Complex to address allergic rashes, dryness, peeling, and issues related to steroid-dependent skin.

Usage Guidelines:

• Usage Rate: Recommended at 2-5% (5% for very dry/chapped skin, 2-3% for normal skin, and 1-2% for oily but dehydrated skin).
• Mixing: Add in the final step of your formulation, ensuring the temperature is below 40°C.
• pH: The formula should have a pH value between 4-8.
