Cosmate® AF (Arginine Ferulic Acid): a cutting-edge ingredient that combines the powerful benefits of arginine and ferulic acid. This amino acid zwitterionic surfactant, formulated as ferulic acid arginate, is an excellent antioxidant and cell conditioner. It has excellent antistatic, dispersing and emulsifying properties. Additionally, L-Arginine Ferulate, when paired with green algae extract, helps regulate the physiological functions of cells, making it an ideal ingredient in personal care products. Elevate your skin care formulas with L-Arginine Ferulate to provide advanced care and protection for your clients’ skin.
Key Functions of Arginine Ferulic Acid
* Antioxidant Protection: Neutralizes free radicals caused by UV exposure and environmental stressors.
* Collagen Boost: Stimulates collagen synthesis to improve skin elasticity and reduce visible wrinkles.
* Skin Barrier Support: Enhances moisture retention and strengthens the skin’s natural defense mechanisms.
* Brightening Effect: Inhibits melanin production to promote a more even skin tone.
* Soothing Action: Calms irritation and redness, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
How Arginine Ferulic Acid Works
* L-Arginine Ferulate leverages the complementary properties of its two key components:
L-Arginine: A nitric oxide (NO) precursor, it boosts microcirculation and nutrient delivery to skin cells, accelerating repair and renewal.
* Ferulic Acid: A powerful antioxidant, it scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) and stabilizes other antioxidants (e.g., vitamins C and E), amplifying their efficacy.
* Together, they activate cellular pathways (e.g., Nrf2/ARE) to upregulate antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), while inhibiting collagen-degrading matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This dual mechanism combats oxidative stress and supports long-term skin rejuvenation.
Advantages & Benefits of Arginine Ferulic Acid
* Stability: Ferulic Acid enhances ingredient stability in formulations, extending shelf life.
* Synergy: The combination of L-Arginine and Ferulic Acid delivers superior results compared to standalone ingredients.
* Versatility: Compatible with a wide pH range and formulary systems (water-based, oil-in-emulsion).
* Safety: Gentle for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
