Co- Enzyme Q10 Powder (Oil Soluble)

Why Use Co-Enzyme Q10?

CoQ10 plays a key role in cellular energy production and is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from environmental stressors and premature aging. In skincare, it helps restore vitality, improves firmness, and reduces the appearance of fine lines by supporting the skin’s natural regeneration processes.

Key Benefits:

• Fights oxidative stress and free radical damage
• Supports skin’s natural repair mechanisms
• Improves firmness and elasticity
• Brightens dull or tired-looking skin
• Helps reduce visible signs of aging

Common Applications:

• Anti-aging serums
• Facial oils and oil-based elixirs
• Night creams and recovery balms
• Sunscreens (as an antioxidant booster)

Usage Guidelines:

• Recommended use: 0.1% to 1%
• Add to oil phase or at cool-down if already solubilized in an oil
• Best incorporated into oil-based or emulsified systems
• May require pre-dissolving in a carrier oil or solubilizer (e.g. squalane, caprylic/capric triglyceride)

Formulation Tips:

• Combine with Vitamin E or Ferulic Acid for added antioxidant synergy

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Co-Enzyme Q10 and how does it benefit the skin?
  Co-Enzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that energizes skin cells, protects against free radicals, and supports collagen production. Its levels decline with age, making supplementation through skincare important for anti-aging and vitality.
• How is CoQ10 different from other antioxidants like Vitamin C or Vitamin E?
  Unlike water-soluble Vitamin C, CoQ10 is oil-soluble and integrates well into the skin’s lipid layers. It works synergistically with Vitamin E to protect cell membranes and provides energy at a cellular level, something most antioxidants do not directly influence.
• What is the recommended usage rate for CoQ10 in formulations?
  The recommended usage rate is 0.1% – 1%, typically added to the oil phase or during the cool-down stage if pre-dissolved in a carrier oil such as squalane.
• Can CoQ10 be used in both water-based and oil-based skincare?
  Since CoQ10 is oil-soluble, it is best used in oil-based products such as serums, facial oils, and emulsions. It can be pre-dissolved in a suitable carrier oil or solubilizer for incorporation into emulsified systems.
• Does CoQ10 have any visible effects on skin appearance?
  Yes. With consistent use, CoQ10 helps reduce fine lines, improves skin firmness, and restores a radiant complexion. It can brighten dull or tired-looking skin by boosting cellular energy and reducing oxidative stress.
