Cetyl Tranexamate Hcl

What is Cetyl Tranexamate Hcl?   

Tranexamic acid hexadecyl ester is a structurally optimized skin-brightening ingredient designed to more effectively improve skin pigmentation problems. Its key characteristic is its lipophilicity, making it more easily absorbed by the skin compared to its parent compound, tranexamic acid.

key Features

It can inhibit the activity of melanocytes and reduce skin inflammation, thus blocking melanin production through a dual-pathway approach. This helps improve melasma, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (such as acne scars).

Traditional tranexamic acid is a water-soluble molecule that has difficulty penetrating the stratum corneum. Tranexamic acid hexadecyl ester, by binding tranexamic acid to hexadecyl, enhances its lipophilicity, making it easier for the skin to absorb and act on target cells, theoretically improving its whitening effect.

This ingredient exhibits good stability in skincare formulations and has low skin irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Applications

High-end Skincare 

-Anti-Aging Serums and Creams: As a core anti-aging ingredient, it prevents and improves wrinkles and sagging skin by inhibiting elastase.

-Soothing Repair Products: Used in skincare products for sensitive skin, rosacea, and other problematic skin conditions to reduce redness and reduce inflammation.

-All-Purpose Antioxidant Serum: As a top-tier antioxidant, it is used in daycare products to combat oxidative damage caused by environmental pollution and UV rays.

Pharmacological Research

In drug development, its anti-inflammatory properties are being studied for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

Its antioxidant properties also show potential in neuroprotection (e.g., preventing neurodegenerative diseases) and liver protection.

Product Parameters

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
