High-purity diterpene alcohol with anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and skin brightening properties for advanced cosmetic formulations

Pure-Phytol™ is a high-purity diterpene alcohol derived from chlorophyll degradation, serving as a multifunctional cosmetic ingredient with exceptional anti-aging and skin conditioning properties.

Recent scientific research has demonstrated Pure-Phytol™'s remarkable ability to down-regulate pro-inflammatory genes (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, COX-2) while increasing NRF2/HO-1 cytoprotective signaling in human keratinocytes. Studies have shown it reduces H₂O₂-induced cellular senescence and promotes ERK-mediated proteasomal degradation of MITF in melanocytes, supporting its dual action in anti-aging and skin brightening applications.

As a highly lipophilic compound (log Kow ≈ 8.3) with a skin-sensitization NESIL of 2700 µg/cm², Pure-Phytol™ offers excellent safety margins for cosmetic formulations. It demonstrates antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus through membrane-disruptive mechanisms and synergizes with preservative systems, making it ideal for modern clean beauty formulations.

Usage: Anti-aging serums, brightening creams, soothing lotions, sensitive skin care products, and luxury facial oils
