Azelaic acid is a highly valued dicarboxylic acid recognized for its ability to regulate sebum production, reduce inflammation, and enhance skin brightness. Despite its benefits, traditional forms such as pure azelaic acid and salified derivatives pose challenges related to solubility and stability. While salified versions improve solubility, they tend to be unstable over time, leading to precipitation in formulations. Furthermore, conventional azelaic acid is pH-dependent, limiting its flexibility in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
AZELACTIVE® overcomes these limitations with a patented esterified form of azelaic acid combined with polyglyceryl-6, ensuring full water solubility, superior skin compatibility, and enhanced stability. Its low acid number compared to pure azelaic acid (20 vs 600 mgKOH/g), minimizes irritation while maintaining efficacy allowing for a wider cosmetic application range. Unlike traditional azelaic acid, AZELACTIVE® does not require strong solvents, does not precipitate in formulations, and remains effective at any pH level. These attributes make it an ideal choice for next-generation skincare and haircare solutions.
AZELACTIVE®: MULTIFUNCTIONAL BENEFITS
AZELACTIVE® delivers a comprehensive range of benefits for both skin and scalp health. By regulating sebum production, it helps maintain a balanced and healthy skin environment. It also works to reduce hyperpigmentation, enhancing skin tone uniformity and brightness. With its strong anti-inflammatory properties, it soothes irritation and redness, making it particularly suitable for sensitive skin. Additionally, it improves moisture retention and reinforces the skin barrier, promoting long-lasting hydration and resilience.
For scalp and hair applications, AZELACTIVE® demonstrates exceptional efficacy in combating hair loss by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase, thereby reducing DHT levels and preventing follicle miniaturization. It also regulates excessive oil production, ensuring a healthier scalp environment while soothing inflammation and irritation. These combined effects contribute to stronger, healthier hair growth and improved scalp vitality.
