Also known as ubiquinone or vitamin Q, it is a vitamin-like substance synthesized by the body. It plays a vital role in the delivery of cellular energy and has antioxidant effects.

Unfortunately, as we age production of CoQ10 tapers off. This means as you grow older, the content of CoQ10 in your cells is reduced. As a result, cells lose their efficiency (energy production) and protecting capacity (antioxidant power) which are important requirements for healthy young skin.

CoQ10 is used in anti-ageing skin products to boost skin repair and regeneration. It rejuvenates the skin by enhancing the cell efficiency.

Coenzyme Q10 is a very expensive substance and should therefore be used in an optimal way in formulations. Luckily nanoemulsions are a very efficient way of delivering an active into the skin.

The delivery of nanoparticles of Coenzyme Q10 actives can move faster and penetrate deeper into the skin because of their ultra small particle size.

Because of the significantly enhanced bioavailability, the ingredients work at a higher level of potency, effectively balancing and rehydrating the skin, increasing collagen production and leaving the skin younger looking, healthier and more radiant.

Benefits:

• The encapsulation of the active ingredient CoQ10 into a nanoemulsion facilitates their delivery to the skin.
• Energizes and protects skin from signs of aging
• Protects against photo-aging
• Rejuvenates skin by stimulating skin cell activity
• Stimulates collagen production
• Potent anti-oxidant that acts against oxidative damage done by UV A rays of the sun
