Aminoacid skin penetration enhancers: ColgateRecent Research Landscape

Poor transdermal delivery of active ingredients limits the efficacy of topical formulations. These innovations engineer specific amino acid and enhancer ratios to modulate the skin barrier permeability.

What technical problems is Colgate addressing in Aminoacid skin penetration enhancers?

Inadequate dermal barrier permeability

(14)evidences

Low bioavailability of active ingredients due to the stratum corneum barrier. Overcoming this resistance ensures effective delivery of therapeutic or cosmetic agents into deeper skin layers.

Poor dermal active delivery

(10)evidences

Low permeability of the skin barrier prevents effective absorption of beneficial agents. Overcoming this limitation ensures active ingredients reach target layers to provide functional benefits.

Inefficient dermal active delivery

(7)evidences

Low permeability of the stratum corneum limits the bioavailability of topical actives. Overcoming this barrier improves therapeutic efficacy and reduces required dosage.

Environmental pollutant skin damage

(6)evidences

Poor bioavailability and insufficient penetration of essential vitamins through the skin barrier. Overcoming this limitation ensures therapeutic concentrations reach target dermal layers for effective repair.
