Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) 10% for Skincare

Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is an antioxidant the body makes naturally. On the skin it mops up the free radicals caused by sun, pollution and daily stress, helping to soften the look of fine lines and keep skin smooth and resilient. This is the water-soluble version, so it blends straight into serums, toners and light lotions without any tricky emulsifying.

• Solubility: water-soluble — add straight to the water phase
• Texture: lightweight and non-greasy; natural orange/yellow colour
• Stability: mixes well with most actives and botanical extracts
• Pairs well with: Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid
