The Best Vitamin A Skin Care Products Contain Stabilized Retinaldehyde Using IconicA®
Retinol is currently used as the industry benchmark. However, formulation challenges and irritation reduce retinol’s broad acceptance amongst consumers. With the invention of IconicA® which constitutes a superior form of vitamin A, affords a stable, non-irritating alternative to traditional vitamin A product.
Retinaldehyde is a better choice for vitamin A in cosmetics than retinol. Retinol must first be converted into retinaldehyde by our skin and subsequently converted into retinoic acid before it is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and uneven skin tones. We use retinaldehyde in cosmetic products to avoid this conversion and the skin irritation that accompanies the chemical reaction.
IconicA® presents a novel delivery system utilizing a “transient” hemiacetal bond which stabilizes RAL for use in cosmetic preparations. IconicA® comes in powder form and is easily added to almost any cream, lotion, or serum.
Several third-party double-blind clinicals were conducted testing RCH. It was found that RAL when delivered via this vehicle to the skin visually influenced many anti-aging parameters. The parameters evaluated were appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines, overall evenness of skin tone, overall photo damage, tactile smoothness and visual smoothness.
It is shown in this study that IconicA® is 25% better than retinol over an eight-week period in reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
The data also suggests that RAL alone deteriorates quickly when used in cosmetics without stabilization. IconicA® truly affords Full-Spectrum visual benefits revealing global improvement in overall appearance.
This is exciting news when we see the impressive visual reduction in age-related features, and improvements in overall skin tone when IconicA® is applied. IconicA® is easily added to finished formulations near the end of processing, allowing small entrepreneurs as well as the multi-national mass market anti-aging companies to have product lines utilizing this technology.
