INCI: Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil

Sourced from natural oleic acid, this ingredient was developed as a gentler alternative to azelaic acid, offering comparable efficacy with a lower irritation profile. Studies indicate that 9-Octadecenedioic Acid interacts with enzymatic receptor sites involved in melanin production, helping to normalize pigmentation and promote a more even skin tone.

Beyond pigment regulation, it supports sebum control and blemish reduction, making it well-suited for formulations targeting hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, and acne-prone skin.

INCI: 9-Octadecenedioic Acid
Recommended Use Level: 1–2%
Solubility: Oil-soluble
Processing: Add in the cool-down phase or below 60 °C
Formulation Type: Emulsions, anhydrous systems, serums, creams, lotions

Its naturally deep orange color makes it ideal for glow-boosting and revitalizing skincare products, while its antioxidant profile supports smoother, more nourished-looking skin. Beta Carotene Oil is commonly used in low concentrations to enhance the performance and visual appeal of oil-based formulations.
