Description
Infinity ingredients is the UK distributor of Vegan DDS K1 Oxide from INdermal.
Vitamin K1 Oxide (Phytonadione Epoxyde) is used for cosmetic purposes and is a derivative of Vitamin K1 which is typically found in dark green leaved vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, cabbages etc. It has a fundamental role in the synthesis of prothrombin (factor II) and clotting factors VII, IX and X.
In addition it blocks the formation of hemosiderin and avoids blood extravasation giving it a high decongestive capacity as well as a high capacity to reduce erythema and facial irritations. For these reasons it is also used in products which treat sore skin, couperosis and general skin irritations. Owing to its effect on build ups of hemosiderin, it reduces the violet pigmentation found in under-eye circles and hematomas.
It has also demonstrated a moderate anti-ageing effect with prolonged treatments, being capable of increasing the moisturisation, elasticity and texture of the skin. Encapsulated within INdermal’s Deep Delivery System (DDS) for delivery to the deepest strata of the epidermis for a more intense and precise effect on the structures and cells located there. The use of DDS enables up to twelve times the amount of active ingredient to reach the interior of the skin compared to when applied freely.
