With the invention of IconicA, which constitutes a superior form of vitamin A, affords a stable, non-irritating alternative to traditional vitamin A product.
Retinaldehyde is a better choice for vitamin A in cosmetics than retinol. Retinol must first be converted into retinaldehyde by our skin and subsequently converted into retinoic acid before it is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and uneven skin tones. When we use retinaldehyde in cosmetic products we avoid this conversion and the skin irritation that accompanies the chemical reaction.
Retinaldehyde has remained underutilised in the industry due to its inherent instability. However, IconicA presents a novel delivery system utilising a “transient” hemiacetal bond which stabilises RAL for use in cosmetic preparations. IconicA comes in powder form and is easily added to almost any cream, lotion, or serum.
Several third-party double-blind clinicals were conducted testing RCH. It was found that RAL when delivered via this vehicle to the skin visually influenced many anti-aging parameters. In fact, it was determined that IconicA delivered RAL and “… produced a statistically significant decrease (improvement) in clinical grading scores for all graded efficacy parameters evaluated. …” The parameters evaluated were appearance of: Crow’s Feet, Fine Lines, Overall Evenness of Skin Tone, Overall Photo Damage, Tactile Smoothness and Visual Smoothness.
IconicA truly affords Full-Spectrum visual benefits revealing global improvement in overall appearance.
