DESCRIPTION OF POTASSIUM AZELOYL DIGLYCINATE

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate is a modern, water-soluble derivative of azelaic acid, developed specifically for cosmetic skincare. By binding to the amino acid glycine, it improves stability, solubility, and skin tolerability. This active combines the proven benefits of classic azelaic acid with a gentler, more skin-friendly performance.

EFFECTS OF POTASSIUM AZELOYL DIGLYCINATE

The ingredient inhibits tyrosinase activity, reducing excessive melanin production for a more even skin tone. At the same time, it provides anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating benefits, making it highly effective for acne, rosacea, and blemish-prone skin. It also strengthens the skin barrier and enhances hydration, resulting in a smoother, healthier-looking complexion.

USES OF POTASSIUM AZELOYL DIGLYCINATE

This active is widely used in serums, emulsions, and creams targeting skin improvement. Common applications include products against hyperpigmentation, acne, redness, as well as formulations designed to boost hydration and promote a more balanced skin tone. Thanks to its excellent water solubility, it easily integrates into modern lightweight formulations.
