Description
Infinity Ingredients is the UK distributor of MultiSal™ Retinol from Salvona.
Retinol has been utilised extensively as an anti-wrinkle therapy. The molecule acts by inducing glycosaminoglycan and collagen synthesis, rejuvenating the firmness and youthful appearance of skin.
A challenge regarding the use of Retinol is its susceptibility to oxidation, which ultimately reduces the potency and limits effectiveness. Due to its ability to enhance skin turnover, Retinol can cause irritation on consumers with sensitive skin.
MultiSal™ technology is based on double-layered encapsulation of retinol. The microsphere ruptures when the lotion is rubbed into the skin, releasing the sub-micron spheres inside. The core is comprised of botanical lipophilic ingredients that partition into the skin, thus modulating the slow release of the encapsulated retinol over time.
MultiSal™ Retinol reduces the appearance of fine lines in as little as 2 weeks. MultiSal™ Retinol is recommended for use in anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation products including lotions, creams, lip care and cosmetics as well as anti-acne.
