The cosmetic industry is
evolving at a breakneck pace. So much that it becomes difficult to keep up with
the ingredients.
What works today might
not even exist tomorrow. For instance, your formulation that works may not
attract customers simply because they aren’t aware of the efficiency of the
ingredients. So, what do you do in this case? Well, you adapt.
The best way to produce
products that go on to become commercial hits is to stick to popular
ingredients from a customer’s perspective. You deliver what they are asking
for, period. By creating products with popular ingredients, you increase
customer confidence. And with minimal research!
Let’s take a look at the
top 5 private label wrinkle cream ingredients that should be included in your
private label brand.
1) Matrixyl®
Matrixyl®, also known as
palmitoyl-pentapeptide 4, is included in many high-end anti-aging skin care
formulations today. It does sound complicated, but since there’s tons of
research conducted on it already, it’s a no-brainer for many companies.
Matrixyl® is popular, but you
should include it in your products primarily because it works.
Many studies confirm that it
delays photo-induced aging by almost 5.5 years! Created by Sederma, Matrixyl®
is a peptide meant to repair damaged skin and stimulate collagen at the same
time.
Unlike most hyped
ingredients that work only temporarily, the results of Matrixyl® last for a
long time. While the duration differs from one individual to another, many
customers claim that they noticed visible results in just 4 weeks.
The fact that this
ingredient doubles the formation of collagen in the skin should be reason alone
to include it in your products. And that’s precisely why Matrixyl® features in
many of our customized and stock formulas including the Super-green wrinkle control cream. It can also be combined
with other peptides like Argireline® to develop products that are sure to
work.
2) Retinol
Retinol is considered the
ultimate ingredient, especially when it comes to anti-aging skin care. Most
serums combine both ascorbic acid and retinol to help customers develop a
well-balanced routine. Whether you incorporate it into a serum or a cream,
products containing retinol are guaranteed to fly off the shelves.
And that’s because studies prove that retinol
works even on matured skin. Retinol, or vitamin A, is effective mainly because
it acts as an exfoliating agent while forcing mature skin to shed itself and
produce new skin. The only disadvantage is that it can irritate sensitive skin,
but substituting retinol with retinyl palmitate will fix the issue.
3) Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid features
in many products, but consumers apparently can’t get enough of it. As a
humectant, it works well, but it’s possible to increase its efficacy by
amalgamating it with peptides like Matrixyl. It’s even better if some vitamin C
is thrown into the mix.
For instance, the
product Total-Age Defying Serum works both as an
anti-aging serum and moisturizer. While hyaluronic acid draws and traps
moisture in the skin, Matrixyl and Stay-C work to fight against anti-aging.
Consumers love hyaluronic
acid because it seriously works. It replenishes moisture to the skin from the
inside and outside. It’s naturally present in our body but diminishes over
time. Consumers understand the importance of adding hyaluronic acid to their
regime because it keeps their skin soft and supple.
What’s more, it fights
wrinkles, protects skin from UV Rays and also contributes to the development of
collagen, making it efficient even as a stand-alone product.
4) Vitamin C
There are several
variants of vitamin C in the market. While some work, others don’t because
vitamin C is unstable. However, research shows that stable derivatives of
vitamin C such as sodium ascorbyl phosphate is just as effective as ascorbic
acid, which is why we incorporate Stay-C® in most of our custom and stock
formulas.
Now, vitamin C is a
favorite ingredient in many products, but it’s essential to create products
using only stable versions like Stay-C because vitamin C will not work well
when it’s oxidized. Also, ascorbic acid reduces wrinkles and brightens skin
when used in proper doses. Vitamin C may seem overrated since it’s used in many
formulations, but there’s a reason it was one of the most searched for cosmetic in 2017!
5) Niacin
Usually blended with
retinol or vitamin C, niacinamide is a powerful
ingredient delivering quick results. Known as Vitamin B3, niacin comes with a host
of medical benefits, but its importance in skincare is well documented.
We recommend combining
niacin with vitamin C, retinol and plant cell extracts to create a perfect
unbeatable blend targeting various skin issues.
Thanks to years of
research, we are equipped with stock formulas that are guaranteed to work. Have
a better idea with amazing ingredients on your mind? Sure, that works too,
because our customized products can meet your needs. No matter what you
decide, you can rest assured that your products will work because you can’t go
wrong with these ingredients!
