Inquiry about Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Available Antioxidant Raw Materials
Question
Regarding enzyme antioxidants like Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), I previously received a response stating that the company does not currently import/sell a specific type due to sourcing and research validation challenges.
Could you please provide details on any SOD or enzyme-like antioxidant raw materials that are currently available from MySkinRecipes for use in cosmetic formulations?
Specifically, I would like information on:
- Available product names (e.g., SOD (Superoxide dismutase), SOD-Wasabi™)
- Their properties and benefits (e.g., antioxidant activity, anti-aging, anti-germ)
- Physical characteristics (e.g., powder, liquid, color)
- Solubility
- Recommended usage rates
- Mixing instructions or considerations (e.g., temperature, order of addition, compatibility with bases)
- Storage conditions
- Any known texture impacts at high concentrations (e.g., oily/sticky)
Answer
Enzyme Antioxidants like Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)
Regarding your inquiry about enzyme-type antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the company's import plans, we understand the previous response indicated no current plans due to sourcing and research validation challenges.
However, we do offer products related to SOD and enzyme-like antioxidants that you might find suitable for your formulations:
SOD (Superoxide dismutase) (50000IU/g)
This is a powerful and crucial antioxidant enzyme. It acts as the body's first line of defense against free radicals, helping to restore strength and reduce cell damage. It is commonly used in anti-wrinkle products (gel, serum, lotion, cream). It is a light pink-red powder, soluble in water. For mixing, it can be added to anhydrous bases or water bases using a polymeric thickener for better shelf-life. Recommended usage rate is 0.5-1%. Store in the refrigerator (5-10°C) away from light and heat.SOD-Wasabi™ (Wasabi Ferment Extract)
Research shows this extract works similarly to SOD, effectively neutralizing free radicals on the skin with a high ORAC value. It also has properties that can resist harmful skin germs. It can be used in all types of anti-aging products (gels, serums, lotions, creams). It is a clear, colorless liquid, soluble in water, with a pH of 4-7. Mix in the final step below 40°C. Usage rate is 1-100%, though high concentrations might feel oily/sticky. Store in the refrigerator at 4-8°C.
These products offer enzymatic or enzyme-like antioxidant activity that could meet your formulation needs.
