NanoActive Sulfur

Posted on by

Introduction

Sulfur is a yellow nonmetal widely distributed throughout the earth and has long been used as an effective treatment for various skin disorders. Its activity depends on the interaction between sulfur particles and keratinocytes: the smaller the particles, the larger the contact area and the better the efficacy. Bio-derived sulfur formed by the bacterial oxidation of sulfides into elemental sulfur shows better spreadability on the skin and higher activity.

NanoActive Sulfur, developed through a nano-delivery system, effectively regulates sebum secretion and helps treat acne and dandruff, while also providing strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity.

Sebum Regulation

Excessive sebum secretion accumulates in follicles, enlarges pores, causes follicular blockage, and may even trigger inflammation.

NanoActive Sulfur effectively removes excess surface oil and helps soften the epidermis. It can also dissolve keratin and relieve skin imbalance caused by overactive oil secretion. In addition, it helps improve acne, pimples, and seborrheic dermatitis associated with overactive sebaceous glands.

Keratolytic Effect

Cystine is a major component of the stratum corneum. At low concentrations, sulfur promotes normal keratinization through its keratoplastic activity. At high concentrations, the same reaction produces a keratolytic effect because hydrogen sulfide disrupts keratin, and sufficient accumulation can dissolve the stratum corneum.

Therefore, NanoActive Sulfur is recommended for cosmetic formulations designed to regulate sebum secretion.

Antibacterial Action

The antibacterial action of sulfur depends on its conversion into pentathionic acid (H₂S₅O₆), a compound toxic to fungi. Hydrogen sulfide may also contribute to this activity. Through the action of skin bacteria and keratin-forming cells, sulfur can be converted into pentathionic acid. In addition, sulfur’s keratolytic activity may help separate fungi from the stratum corneum.

Therefore, NanoActive Sulfur is recommended for cosmetic formulations with purifying and preservative functions.

Pentathionic Acid Activity

Anti-inflammatory Action

Glutathione (GSH) is the most important cellular antioxidant. It exists in the reduced thiol form (GSH) and the oxidized disulfide form (GSSG), and undergoes thiol-disulfide exchange catalyzed by thiol transferases. Severe oxidative stress depletes intracellular GSH.

NanoActive Sulfur can promote GSH synthesis while reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α, delivering a strong anti-inflammatory effect.

Inflammatory Factor Reduction

Inflammatory Factor Reduction

The protein expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were measured by ELISA.

Compared with the control group, NanoActive Sulfur reduced the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in a dose-dependent manner.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET

Product Name: NanoActive r-RETINOATE

Manufacturer: PuriPharm Co., Ltd.

Awards: 2019 Ringier Technology Innovation Award (Personal Care)

1. Product Overview

NanoActive r-RETINOATEis a next-generation, high-performance Vitamin A derivative engineered to overcome the traditional limitations of retinoid application in cosmetic science. Utilizing a proprietary 20–30 nm nano-encapsulation delivery system, this bioactive ingredient combines exceptional anti-aging efficacy with unprecedented stability and skin tolerability.

Formed by esterifying the hydroxyl group of retinol with retinoic acid, Retinyl Retinoate retains the bioactivity of both precursor molecules. It delivers up to 8x the activity of standard retinol while eliminating the characteristic irritation and photosensitivity. Crucially, its distinctive blue-light absorption profile and high photostability make it a breakthrough retinoid that is completely safe and effective for daytime application.

2. Chemical Description & Composition

  • INCI Name: Retinyl Retinoate, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Phospholipids, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Water
  • Product Type: Nano-encapsulated Bioactive System

  • Photostability: Excellent (not light-sensitive; suitable for day-care formulations)

4. Platform Technology & Delivery System

PuriPharm’s advanced nano-delivery platform transforms how retinoids interact with the skin structure:

  • Targeted Follicular Absorption: The 20–30 nm particle size allows the nanocarriers to accumulate efficiently within the hair follicle pathway. This creates a deep-skin “follicular reservoir” where actives can be retained rather than merely remaining on the skin’s surface.
  • Sustained Release Kinetics: Once deposited in the appendages, the nano-emulsion structure facilitates a controlled, slow-release mechanism that extends the activity window for more than 10 days, ensuring long-lasting efficacy without overwhelming the skin barrier.
  • Unique Occlusion Effect: Nano-sized lipid carriers create a highly uniform, tight surface film, increasing residence time and local deposition of the active compound.

5. Mechanism of Action: The One-Step Advantage

Traditional retinol formulations require a slow, three-step metabolic conversion (Retinyl Esters → Retinol → Retinal → Retinoic Acid) to become biologically active.

NanoActive r-RETINOATE features a direct “One-Step Conversion.”As a direct precursor, it is highly efficient and minimizes intermediate degradation.

Biocompatibility & Cytotoxicity:

In vitro data demonstrates that Retinyl Retinoate possesses significantly lower cytotoxicity compared to standard retinol. The IC50 of retinol is 25 μM, whereas the IC50 of NanoActive r-RETINOATE is 40 μM (an approximately 60% improvement in cellular tolerability), showcasing its ability to provide intense rejuvenation without the peeling, erythema, and barrier compromise associated with traditional Vitamin A.

6. Proven Cosmetic Benefits & Efficacy Data

A. Profound Anti-Aging & UV Repair (12-Week Clinical Study)

A controlled clinical trial comparing 0.06% Retinyl Retinoate (Group A) against 0.075% Retinol (Group B) applied twice daily demonstrated superior anti-aging performance:

Skincare Benefits and Market Applications of Salicylic Acid (I)

  • Exfoliates the skin, improves firmness, helps restore youthful elasticity, lightens pigmentation, reduces fine lines, and improves photoaging caused by sun exposure.
  • Mechanism: Salicylic acid causes corneocyte membranes to suddenly lose negative charge, weakening cohesion and promoting desquamation.
  • Representative product: SK-II crystal resurfacing cream.
  • By adding 1.5% salicylic acid to the original Pitera formula and likening its pore- and keratin-refining effect to peeling a shelled egg, the product sparked strong market enthusiasm.

Skincare Benefits and Market Applications of Salicylic Acid (II)

Clears acne, tightens pores, removes blackheads from pores, and provides antibacterial benefits to address oily skin concerns.

Mechanism: Because salicylic acid is lipophilic, it can merge with lipids and penetrate the stratum corneum and deep into pores, helping dissolve aged keratin buildup and improve pore blockage.

Representative product: Vichy oil-control purifying astringent toner.

An ideal conditioning product for problem skin. It further cleanses and repairs the skin, makes pores appear tighter, evens skin tone, and visibly improves shine and blackheads.

Skincare Benefits and Market Applications of Salicylic Acid

The two skincare functions above—exfoliation and oily-skin care—are exactly what the Chinese market needs.

  1. Most Chinese consumers have combination skin and face issues such as shine, enlarged pores, and acne.
  2. The air environment in China still needs improvement. Air pollution can cause thickening of the stratum corneum, dull-looking skin, and the accumulation of bacteria in the horny layer.

The market needs products containing salicylic acid.

Issues with Conventional Salicylic Acid

When pure salicylic acid is used in cosmetics, the following difficulties arise:

  1. It can be irritating and may cause erythema, itching, stinging, or allergic reactions.
  2. It has poor solubility. Salicylic acid is only slightly soluble in water, which limits formulation applications.
  3. Its activity depends on pH. In a low-pH environment, maintaining the free-acid form is important for efficacy.

Solution

In view of the issues above, PuriPharm Co. Ltd. developed NanoActive SA to ensure that salicylic acid can perform its skincare functions more effectively in cosmetics.

NanoActive SA delivers salicylic acid benefits more effectively while reducing irritation and related concerns.

Product Features

Salicylic acid remains in the free-acid form within the nano-carrier, effectively overcoming pH dependence.
