Cetpro® Actives

Name	INCI	Function	Description
Cetpro® AA-F	Azelaic Acid	Anti-Acne	Azelaic Acid has antioxidant, anti- inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It is also an anti-keratinising agent.
Cetpro® AAB	Alpha Arbutin	Skin Brightening	Alpha arbutin is a natural skin-brightening ingredient derived from the bearberry plant. The action of alpha arbutin is to prevent the synthesis of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. By lowering the production of melanin, alpha arbutin can assist in fading dark spots and balancing skin tone.
Cetpro® AG	Ascorbyl Glucoside	Anti-Ageing	Ascorbyl Glucoside is an excellent antioxidant. It can dramatically reduce the free radicals that result from UV irradiation of skin.
Cetpro® ALA	Thioctic Acid	Anti-Ageing	Topical use of ALA on the skin has shown some success in the anti-aging arena with its antioxidant properties to prevent wrinkles, anti-inflammatory capabilities to help acne, and exfoliative benefits to fade brown spots.
Cetpro® AP MB	Ascorbyl Palmitate	Anti-Ageing/Skin Brightening	Ascorbyl palmitate is a gentle, stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C. It effectively penetrates into the upper layer of the skin. This ester reduces hyperpigmentation and has myriad benefits like fighting free radicals, collagen synthesis & anti-aging effects.
Cetpro® ATIP	Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate	Anti-Ageing/Skin Brightening	Oil soluble Vitamin C derivative that has a higher rate of penetration (because it is lipid soluble, like human skin) than other derivatives; it also has a higher rate of conversion to Vitamin C within the dermis.
Cetpro® Biotin	Biotin	Skin/Hair Care Active	Biotin (also known as Coenzyme R, Vitamin H and Vitamin B7) is mainly used for its moisturising and smoothing properties. It's believed to improve the texture in creams, and also add shine, manageability and body to the hair.
Cetpro® Copper Gluconate	Copper Gluconate	Anti-Ageing	Copper gluconate firms the skin by improving collagen and elastin. It revitalises skin by providing elemental or ionic copper. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps modulate the inflammation process and decreases the allergic response of skin to external allergens
Cetpro® DL - MA	Mandelic Acid	Anti-Ageing	An appropriate treatment for a wide variety of skin concerns, from acne to wrinkles.
Cetpro® EAC	3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid	Skin Brightening	Cetpro® EAC is modified Ascorbic Acid. This increases the molecule’s stability and enhances its transport through the skin, compared to pure Vitamin C which is easily degraded.
Cetpro® FA Natural	Ferulic Acid	Antioxidant	Ferulic acid has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.
Cetpro® HA-CAT	Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate	Hair Care Active	Cetpro® HA-CAT is Cationic Hyaluronic Acid made from a cationic etherifying agent and sodium hyaluronate, which have good compatibility with anionic surfactants, enabling shampoos to have better cleansing and conditioning capacity.
Cetpro® IQC	Isoquercetin	Antioxidant	Isoquercetin is a potent antioxidant and skin conditioning agent that is found in apples, fruit and vegetables.
Cetpro® KA	Kojic Acid	Skin Brightening	Kojic acid blocks the UV activation of tyrosinase, thereby limiting melanin production.
Cetpro® KAD	Kojic Dipalmitate	Skin Whitening	It has the ability to inhibit tyrosinase activity in synthesis of melanin and is more stable than Kojic Acid
Cetpro® L-Glutathione	Glutathione	Anti-Ageing	L-Glutathione acts as an antioxidant, free radical scavenger and skin whitening agent
Cetpro® LBA	Lactobionic Acid	Exfoliating Agent	Lactobionic Acid helps prevent and reverse the appearance of photoaging, including lines and wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, enlarged pores and roughness.
Cetpro® MAP	Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate	Anti-Ageing	In addition to its effect as a radical scavenger, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is used in skin care products to lighten the skin and to support collagen synthesis.
Cetpro® ML	Menthyl Lactate	Cooling Agent	Menthyl Lactate is known for its cooling and soothing properties. When applied to the skin, it creates a refreshing and invigorating sensation that can help to soothe and calm irritated or sensitive skin.
Cetpro® MLT	Melatonin	Anti-Ageing	Melatonin penetrates the skin and activates the synthesis of antioxidant enzymes. These antioxidant enzymes work to block free radicals and therefore repair oxidative damage to the skin. This means melatonin is a major skin protectant, from free radical scavenging to DNA damage repair.
Cetpro® Pullulan	Pullulan	Film-Former, Skin Tightener, Rheology Modifier	Film-former, skin tightener, rheology modifier, synergistic effect with Vitamin C.
Cetpro® SAP	Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate	Anti-Ageing	Neutralises skin damaging free radicals, boosts collagen production, evens skin tone and has antimicrobial benefits
Cetpro® SCA	Succinic Acid	Anti-Acne	Succinic acid is a naturally derived dicarboxylic Acid. It is an effective anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial ingredient that helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria, making it an ideal ingredient for blemishes, blackheads and inflammatory lesions; helping to combat the acne without compromising the skin’s barrier.
Cetpro® SKA	Shikimic Acid	Anti-Ageing	Shikimic acid belongs to the AHA group of acids and has excellent exfoliating properties without causing irritation. Active antioxidant properties protect skin against premature ageing, whilst the acid effectively inhibits the development of Propionibacterium acnes.
Cetpro® TA	Tranexamic Acid	Skin Brightening	Blocks the production of melanin in the cells, prevents melanin from accumulating locally and dissolves the already present melanin.
Cetpro® THDA	Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate	Anti-Ageing/Skin Brightening	Oil soluble Vitamin C derivative that has a higher rate of penetration (because it is lipid soluble, like human skin) than other derivatives; it also has a higher rate of conversion to Vitamin C within the dermis.
Cetpro® VBE	Vanillyl Butyl Ether	Warming Agent	A unique sensory agent that provides a warming effect to the skin.
Cetpro® VP4	Troxerutin	Anti-Ageing	Research has shown it functions as an antioxidant when applied topically, scavenging free radicals and preventing oxidative stress. It has also been shown to improve microcirculation and reduces capillary permeability, responsible for couperose.
