Ingredients to Enhance Skin Absorption in Creams

For skin creams, there are ingredients that can help improve the absorption of other active components into the skin. Some examples include:

• Tetrahydropiperine (Natural Penetration Enhancer): This ingredient, extracted from black pepper, is known for its ability to effectively transport various ingredients into the skin.
• TransMoist™ (PPG-24-Glycereth-24): This helps bring ingredients into the skin and provides a feeling of faster absorption, especially in water-based formulas.
• Gin-K™ (Compound K 500ppm Encapsulated Base): While primarily focused on skin barrier function, this base uses encapsulation technology (with Cyclodextrin) to make Compound K water-soluble and effectively absorbed into the skin. It can be used as a base where other water-soluble ingredients can be added, potentially aiding their absorption as well.

These ingredients work through different mechanisms to help active substances penetrate the skin barrier more efficiently, allowing the product's beneficial components to reach their target areas within or below the stratum corneum.
