Used as a beauty care ingredient, its I.N.C.I. name is "ubiquinone". This is an essential molecule, naturally present in our body. Its characteristics are similar to those of vitamin A.
The coenzyme Q10 is located in every cell of our body to provide them with the cellular energy necessary for their proper functioning. Its presence thus aids in the regeneration of damaged cells.
It is also a natural antioxidant that fights against free radicals, the culprits of premature skin aging. It thus protects the skin from aging, which is manifested by the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, etc.
While it is crucial for the proper functioning of every cell in our body, its natural quantity present in the skin begins to decrease from the age of 25. That's why it's ideal to design anti-aging skincare products using coenzyme Q10.
For use in beauty care, this active ingredient comes in the form of a yellow to orange odorless powder. It is recommended, in skincare compositions, for its smoothing properties, helping to reduce the depth of wrinkles.
The use of Q10 in a skincare product imparts it with reparative and regenerative properties for the skin. This ingredient aids in restoring the hydrolipidic barrier, which protects the skin from external aggressions.
