Coenzyme Q10
– INCI Name: UBIQUINONE

Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) is a compound naturally present in the skin, where it participates in cellular energy production and antioxidant defence mechanisms. In cosmetics, it is obtained through biotechnological processes that guarantee high purity and stability.
With age, Coenzyme Q10 levels in the skin decrease, contributing to loss of firmness, radiance and vitality. Topical application helps compensate for this loss and maintain younger-looking, healthier skin.

1. Antioxidant: Neutralises free radicals and protects the skin against oxidative stress and premature ageing.
2. Anti-ageing: Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by improving cellular energy and metabolism.
3. Firming: Helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness, improving its overall appearance.

6. Softener: Improves skin texture, leaving it smoother, more supple and comfortable.
Coenzyme Q10 is an essential active ingredient in anti-ageing and revitalising cosmetics, ideal for formulations that seek to protect, energise and improve skin quality, keeping it firmer, brighter and healthier.
