A Vitamin B6 skin care active ingredient Pyridoxine Tripalmitate

Product Detail

Cosmate^®VB6,Pyridoxine Tripalmitate, the tri-ester of pyridoxine with palmitic acid (hexadecanoic acid) is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. of hair), as a combability aid (reduces or prevents tangling of the hair due to changes or damage on the hair surface and thus improves combability) and as a skin care ingredient.

Pyridoxine Tripalmitate is a synthetic derivative of pyridoxine (vitamin B6), where pyridoxine is esterified with palmitic acid. This modification enhances its stability and lipid solubility, making it suitable for use in cosmetic and skincare formulations. Properties and Benefits: Antioxidant ActivityPyridoxine Tripalmitate helps protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can lead to premature aging. Skin Barrier Support:Pyridoxine Tripalmitate contributes to maintaining the skin's natural barrier function, improving hydration and reducing transepidermal water loss . Anti-Inflammatory:Pyridoxine Tripalmitate has soothing properties, making it useful for calming irritated or sensitive skin. Sebum Regulation:Pyridoxine Tripalmitate is known to help regulate sebum production, making it beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin. Stability:The esterification with palmitic acid makes Pyridoxine Tripalmitate more stable and less prone to degradation compared to free pyridoxine.

Common Uses in Cosmetics:
