PRODUCT SNAPSHOT
WHY POTASSIUM AZELOYL DIGLYCINATE?
Azelaic acid is a well-recognized cosmetic ingredient with multiple skin benefits. However, its practical use in cosmetic formulations has been limited by poor water solubility, low pH requirements, and skin tolerability concerns.
Potassium azeloyl diglycinate (PAD) was developed as a water-soluble derivative that retains the beneficial properties of azelaic acid while overcoming its formulation limitations.
FROM AZELAIC ACID TO A FORMULATION-FRIENDLY DERIVATIVE
Side-by-side comparison of key properties
TECHNICAL PROFILE & QUALITY SPECIFICATIONS
MARKET NEED
Oily, Blemish-Prone, Uneven-Tone & Sensitive Skin
Global consumers increasingly seek multifunctional, gentle solutions for complex skin concerns. PuriActives® PAD addresses all of these needs in a single molecule.
MECHANISM OVERVIEW: MULTI-PATHWAY SKIN BALANCE
PuriActives® PAD works through five complementary pathways for comprehensive skin, scalp, and hair benefits:
Brightening Mechanism: Tyrosinase / Melanin Pathway
Tyrosinase — The Rate-Limiting Enzyme
Tyrosinase catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to melanin pigments in melanocytes. It is the key regulatory enzyme in melanin synthesis, making it a primary target for skin-brightening actives.
PAD Mechanism of Action
PuriActives® PAD has been reported to inhibit tyrosinase activity, helping to reduce melanin production and supporting a brighter, more even-looking skin tone.
Key Pathway Cascade
PAD → Tyrosinase Inhibition → Reduced Melanin Synthesis → Brighter Skin Appearance
Clinical Relevance
Tyrosinase inhibitors are widely used in cosmetic brightening products. PAD offers a water-soluble, well-tolerated alternative for formulators seeking brightening efficacy without the formulation challenges of azelaic acid.
Uneven Tone and Dark Spot Care
Dark spots and uneven skin tone result from localized melanin overproduction, often triggered by UV exposure, hormonal changes, or post-inflammatory responses. PuriActives® PAD helps address this through its tyrosinase-inhibition-related activity, supporting a more uniform-looking complexion over continued use.
Sebum Balance Mechanism
Blemish-Prone Skin Care Positioning
Excess sebum, inflammation, and blemish formation are interconnected concerns. PuriActives® PAD’s dual action — sebum balance support plus anti-inflammatory properties — makes it well-suited for blemish-prone skin care formulations.
Redness-Prone and Sensitive-Skin Comfort
Redness-prone skin is often associated with elevated inflammatory mediators, including IL-1α (interleukin-1 alpha), a key pro-inflammatory cytokine. PuriActives® PAD has been reported to help reduce IL-1α release, providing anti-inflammatory support that soothes the appearance of redness. Combined with glycine’s skin-conditioning properties and a neutral pH of 6.5–7.5, PAD offers excellent tolerance for sensitive skin.
Hydration and Elasticity Support
The glycine moiety in PuriActives® PAD contributes humectant and skin-conditioning properties. Glycine is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps support skin moisture retention, elasticity, and suppleness — complementing brightening and sebum-balancing benefits to create a well-rounded multifunctional active.
Scalp Care Opportunity
Scalp health is increasingly recognized as the foundation of healthy-looking hair. Oily scalp, discomfort, and imbalance are common concerns. PuriActives® PAD’s sebum-regulating and anti-inflammatory properties translate effectively to scalp care, offering brands a science-backed active for this emerging category.

2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PuriActives® Palmitoyl Methoxytryptamine is a high-purity, bio-mimetic lipid-alkaloid conjugate engineered to deliver profound neuro-cosmetic soothing and cellular anti-inflammatory benefits. By coupling the potent neuro-active molecule 5-methoxytryptamine (a direct analog and precursor of melatonin) with palmitic acid, this compound exhibits exceptional skin-penetration kinetics and lipid-membrane affinity.
To address the inherent solubility limitations of the pure lipophilic crystalline powder in water-based cosmetic architectures, PuriPharm offers NanoActive® Palmitoyl Methoxytryptamine. Utilizing state-of-the-art advanced nano-delivery technology, this grade encapsulates the active within a biomimetic phospholipid bilayer membrane (average particle size < 100 nm). This advanced delivery system transforms a highly lipophilic compound into a thermodynamic-stable, optically transparent, and water-dispersible active, dramatically boosting skin bioavailability and offering effortless formulation flexibility.
3. CORE MECHANISMS OF ACTION
A. Neurogenic Soothing via TRP Channel Modulation
Sensitive skin is characterized by hyper-excited sensory nerve endings. Palmitoyl Methoxytryptamine acts as a gentle, soothing modulator of neurogenic pathways. It targets transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, specifically mitigating the over-activation of TRPV1 (capsaicin receptor), which in turn suppresses sensations of burning, stinging, tightness, and itching.
B. Anti-Inflammaging & PPAR-α Activation
Similar to endogenous endocannabinoid-like molecules (such as Palmitoylethanolamide / PEA), Palmitoyl Methoxytryptamine serves as an agonist for the nuclear receptor PPAR-α (Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha). This activation triggers downstream anti-inflammatory cascades:
- Inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α.
- Suppresses mast cell degranulation, mitigating sudden skin redness and histamine-induced itchiness.
C. Melatonin Receptor Agonism & Circadian Repair
Because 5-methoxytryptamine is a direct deacetylation analog of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), Palmitoyl Methoxytryptamine acts as a highly potent biomimetic agent for cutaneous melatonin receptors (MT1 and MT2). This direct agonism:
- Resets and synchronizes the skin’s biological clock genes (such as CLOCK and PER1).
- Enhances the skin’s endogenous defense against oxidative stress induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation and blue light.
- Accelerates nocturnal DNA repair and cell regeneration, restoring a radiant and rested complexion overnight.
D. Enhanced Bioavailability via Lipophilic Vectoring & Nano-Carrier Delivery
- Pure Powder: Conjugation with palmitic acid increases the partition coefficient (log P ≈ 7.15), allowing the active to integrate seamlessly into the intercellular lipid matrix of the stratum corneum.
- NanoActive® Liquid: The phospholipid membrane of the nano-carriers fuses directly with the lipid bilayers of the stratum corneum. This bypasses the rate-limiting barrier of intercellular lipid transport, creating a “depot effect” in the viable epidermis and accelerating cellular uptake of the active molecule.

PuriActives® SupraSalix Supramolecular Salicylic Acid
Technical Dossier | PuriPharm Co. Ltd. —— A Breakthrough 3-in-1 Targeted Solution: Sebum Control • Barrier Repair • Microbiome Balance
1. Product Overview
Traditional Salicylic Acid (SA) is highly efficacious in anti-acne and sebum control treatments. However, its free-acid form is notoriously associated with adverse effects, including severe irritation, flaking, and disruption of the skin barrier. To address this persistent industry challenge, PuriPharm Co. Ltd. has engineered PuriActives® SupraSalix (Supramolecular Salicylic Acid), specifically designed for modern sensitive skin and compromised complexions.
Powered by cutting-edge supramolecular self-assembly technology, PuriActives® SupraSalix utilizes a core of Salicylic Acid and Zinc Amino Acid. It innovatively integrates the biomimetic repair network of Xyloglucan and the prebiotic engine of α-Glucan Oligosaccharide.
This active ingredient shatters the traditional paradigm that “anti-acne equals barrier damage.” By achieving a 4D synergistic effect—sustained-release desensitization, comedolytic sebum control, biomimetic repair, and microbiome balance—it stands as a next-generation, ultra-mild anti-acne active formulated for sensitive skin, acne vulgaris, and seborrheic dermatitis.
2. Core Components & Mechanism of Action
The exceptional efficacy of PuriActives® SupraSalix originates from its meticulously designed matrix of four core components:
2.1 The Core Anti-Acne Engine: Salicylic Acid & Zinc Amino Acid
A supramolecular network cleverly conjugates Salicylic Acid with Zinc Amino Acid (primarily Zinc Glycinate) to achieve “reduced toxicity, enhanced efficacy” alongside kinetic sustained release.
- Salicylic Acid: A lipophilic BHA that penetrates deep into hair follicles to dissolve keratin plugs and sebum, exerting potent comedolytic action. Simultaneously, it inhibits COX enzyme activity to block the production of pro-inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins.
- Zinc Ion: An essential trace element. It inhibits 5α-reductase activity, significantly reducing sebum hypersecretion at the source. It also disrupts pathogenic biofilms for broad-spectrum antimicrobial action while accelerating wound healing and tissue remodeling.
- Amino Acid (e.g., Glycine): The smallest amino acid. It not only acts as a carrier to enhance Zinc’s skin penetration but is also a critical component of the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) and collagen, effectively soothing localized dryness caused by acid peeling.
2.2 The Invisible Biomimetic Barrier: Xyloglucan
A natural polysaccharide extracted from Tamarind seeds, widely recognized in pharmaceutical applications for treating eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis.
- “Second Skin” Effect: Exhibits outstanding film-forming properties, creating a breathable, invisible biomimetic shield on the skin surface to defend against external aggressors (e.g., PM2.5, allergens).
- Deep Hydration & Repair: Significantly reduces Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL), providing a moist healing microenvironment for a compromised stratum corneum. It synergizes with amino acids to accelerate barrier repair and diminish erythema (redness) and acne marks.
2.3 The Microbiome Modulator: α-Glucan Oligosaccharide
A highly active, plant-derived prebiotic.
- Targeted Feeding: Selectively promotes the proliferation of beneficial skin flora (e.g., Staphylococcus epidermidis) while remaining indigestible to pathogens (e.g., Cutibacterium acnes, Malassezia).
- Competitive Inhibition: By robustly cultivating beneficial bacteria to occupy the ecological niche, it competitively inhibits the microorganisms responsible for acne and seborrheic dermatitis, cutting off the root cause of recurrent breakouts from an ecological standpoint.
3. 4D Synergy Matrix
PuriActives® SupraSalix is not a simple physical blend. Through PuriPharm’s supramolecular technology, it establishes a 1+1+1>3 synergistic network:
- 1D Clear & Control: SA pore unclogging + Zinc’s active sebaceous inhibition. A dual-action approach to drastically improve oily skin and congested pores.
- 2D Targeted Anti-inflammatory: Zinc (inhibiting the upstream NF-kB pathway) combined with SA (inhibiting the downstream COX pathway). Delivers rapid erythema reduction and soothes inflamed papules.
- 3D Biomimetic Repair: Xyloglucan’s physical film-forming + Amino acid’s biochemical hydration. Perfectly neutralizes the harsh peeling effects of acids, enabling simultaneous “Clear & Repair.”
- 4D Microbiome Balance: α-Glucan Oligosaccharide reconstructs the microbial barrier, complementing the antimicrobial properties of Zn and SA. It systematically improves acne-prone and reactive skin profiles, preventing future relapses.
4. Core Advantages vs. Benchmark
5. Applications & Formulation Guidelines
PuriActives® SupraSalix demonstrates exceptional compatibility and solubility, making it highly versatile for various cosmetic formats including toners, serums, emulsions, gels, and wash-off products.
Primary Application Scenarios:
- Professional Acne/Comedone Care: Anti-acne serums, spot treatment gels, chemical peel solutions (highly recommended for sensitive skin peeling).
- Sebum & Pore Management: Pore-refining toners, mattifying/balancing emulsions, deep-cleansing mud masks.
- Seborrheic Dermatitis & Scalp Care: Anti-dandruff shampoos, scalp oil-control serums, scalp microbiome treatments.
- SOS Redness & Repair Care: Post-extraction soothing treatments, anti-inflammatory products for barrier-compromised phases.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Appearance: (Please refer to the actual product COA)
- Solubility: Excellent water solubility; easily incorporated into the aqueous phase.
- Recommended Dosage: 1.0% – 5.0% (Depending on specific product claims and efficacy substantiation).
- Optimal pH Range: 4.0 – 6.5 (A mildly acidic environment favors the stability of the supramolecular network and SA activity. Strongly alkaline environments should be avoided).
- Compatibility: Pairs excellently with active ingredients such as Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Ceramides. Note: Avoid prolonged co-existence with high concentrations of strong metal chelating agents (e.g., EDTA) in the same system to prevent competitive disruption of the Zinc complex structure.

PuriActives® Sodium Algin Sulfate The Marine-Derived GAGs Biomimetic for Ultimate Cellular Regeneration
Company: PuriPharm Co. Ltd.
Product Category: Active Ingredient / Anti-Aging & Skin Barrier Repair
Format: Technical & Marketing Brochure
1. Executive Summary
PuriActives® Sodium Algin Sulfate is an advanced, highly purified sulfated polysaccharide derived from premium marine brown algae. Engineered through precise biomimetic biotechnology, it acts as a structural and functional analogue to endogenous Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), specifically Heparan Sulfate.
By mimicking the extracellular matrix’s (ECM) natural biological environment, Sodium Algin Sulfate plays a crucial role in stabilizing growth factors, reducing chronic inflammation (“inflammaging”), and accelerating deep skin tissue repair. It is the ultimate marine-biotech solution for premium anti-aging, soothing, and post-procedure recovery formulations.
2. The Scientific Rationale: A Master of the Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
As skin ages, the natural pool of Heparan Sulfate in the ECM depletes, leading to structural collapse, impaired cellular communication, and accelerated wrinkling.
PuriActives® Sodium Algin Sulfate features a precisely controlled Degree of Sulfation (DS) that closely mimics human GAGs.
- Growth Factor Stabilization: Its negatively charged sulfated topology allows it to bind specifically to endogenous growth factors (e.g., FGF, EGF, TGF-β), protecting them from proteolytic degradation and amplifying their signaling pathways for collagen synthesis.
- MMP Inhibition: It competitively binds to and inhibits Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), particularly Hyaluronidase and Elastase, preserving the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid and elastin reservoirs.
3. Core Clinical Efficacies
I. Profound Anti-Aging & Wrinkle Reduction
By acting as a biological reservoir for growth factors, Sodium Algin Sulfate stimulates fibroblast proliferation and upregulates the synthesis of Collagen I and III. It restores the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) architecture, resulting in visibly firmer skin and a reduction in fine lines.
II. Rapid Barrier Repair & Soothing
Exhibiting exceptional anti-inflammatory properties, it actively downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as IL-1α and TNF-α). It accelerates epidermal re-epithelialization, making it highly effective for sensitive skin, rosacea, and post-aesthetic procedure care (e.g., post-laser, post-peel).
III. Deep, Sustained Hydration
Unlike standard humectants that merely hold water on the surface, its high molecular weight and dense charge network create a breathable, 3D bio-polymeric film. This shields against trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) while actively modulating cellular hydration channels from within.

FORMULATOR’S ADVANTAGE
NanoActive Phloretin
Advanced Nano-Delivery System for Enhanced Bioavailability & Skin Penetration
1.PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
NanoActive Phloretin is a highly advanced, water-dispersible nano-structured delivery system developed specifically for high-end cosmetic and dermatological formulations. Phloretin, a natural dihydrochalcone polyphenol primarily extracted from the root bark of apple trees (Malus domestica), possesses extraordinary biological properties including potent tyrosinase inhibition, broad-spectrum free radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory effects, and cellular DNA protection.
Despite its remarkable therapeutic potential, raw crystalline Phloretin faces significant formulation constraints in personal care applications due to its severe lipophilicity, poor aqueous solubility, susceptibility to oxidation, and limited capacity to cross the thermodynamic barrier of the stratum corneum. PuriPharm overcomes these challenges by utilizing an innovative multi-lamellar liposomal architecture. By encapsulating Phloretin into nanostructured lipid matrices (Particle Size < 50 nm), the system dramatically amplifies active molecule stability, optimizes delivery kinetics, and increases biological skin absorption without the use of irritating organic solvents or high alcohol levels.

3. BIOLOGICAL EFFICACY & MECHANISMS
3.1 Advanced Melanin Regulation & Skin Whitening
NanoActive Phloretin acts as a highly effective inhibitor of mammalian tyrosinase, the rate-limiting enzyme in melanogenesis. It downregulates the conversion of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA, suppressing melanin synthesis at a cellular level. Clinical data exhibits an ultra-low half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 = 37.5 μmol/L), significantly outperforming traditional agents like Kojic Acid and Arbutin. The nano-delivery system ensures active transport into basal layer melanocytes, effectively fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), evening out skin tone, and enhancing overall skin translucency and L* luminosity values.
3.2 Comprehensive Antioxidant & Radical Scavenging Architecture
The polyphenolic structure of Phloretin offers powerful electron-donating properties to neutralize destructive reactive oxygen species (ROS). In comparative DPPH radical scavenging assays executed within aqueous environments, standard crystalline Phloretin displays suboptimal performance due to poor phase dispersion. Under identical aqueous test conditions:
Pure Crystalline Phloretin: 42% free radical scavenging capacity.
L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): 88% free radical scavenging capacity.
NanoActive Phloretin: 94% radical scavenging efficiency.
This distinct upregulation is driven by the amphiphilic lipid membrane shell, which maximizes contact surface area with free radicals in the water phase while preserving the inner molecular integrity of the active polyphenol.
3.3 Sebum Regulation & Anti-Acne Efficacy
NanoActive Phloretin modifies the sebaceous microenvironment through multi-pathway mechanisms. It restricts excessive sebocyte lipogenesis, yielding a quantifiable reductions in sebum output and a long-lasting matte skin finish within 4 weeks. Concurrently, its strong anti-inflammatory properties inhibit Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) secretion and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, yielding a 29.1% reduction in inflammatory pustules and acne-induced erythema.
3.4 Deep Cellular DNA Shield & Photo-Aging Defense
Beyond traditional cosmetic benefits, NanoActive Phloretin provides genuine biological protection against ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. It enters viable epidermal layers to prevent the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (Thymine Dimers) within cellular DNA. It dampens ultraviolet-induced p53 protein expression (a critical cellular stress indicator) and strictly blocks the up-regulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), thus preventing the structural breakdown of dermal collagen matrices and mitigating chronic photo-induced aging.

Product Introduction: PuriActives® Ceramide E
Product Introduction: PuriActives® Ceramide E
Advanced Biomimetic Lipid for Intensive Skin Barrier Restoration
1. Executive Overview: The Next Generation of Dermocosmetics
PuriActives® Ceramide E (INCI: Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide) represents a breakthrough in biomimetic lipid technology. Engineered specifically for the premium skincare and clinical dermocosmetics market, this high-purity pseudo-ceramide precisely replicates the structural geometry and biological function of human Ceramide Type 2.
By acting as the ultimate “intercellular cement,” it effectively fortifies the stratum corneum, restoring the skin’s primary defense system against modern environmental stressors.
2. The Science of Biomimicry: Mechanism of Action
Natural ceramides are easily depleted by aging, harsh surfactants, and environmental factors, leading to compromised skin barriers (e.g., Atopic Dermatitis, extreme dryness).
PuriActives® Ceramide E resolves this through advanced structural homology:
- Intercalation: Its optimized molecular weight and lipophilic tail allow it to seamlessly intercalate into the existing lipid matrix of the skin.
- TEWL Reduction: It physically seals the micro-fissures in the stratum corneum, dramatically reducing Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and locking in endogenous moisture.
- Barrier Reinforcement: Protects sensitive nerve endings from external irritants, instantly soothing reactive skin.
3. The Thermodynamic Advantage: Lamellar Phases
Beyond mere occlusion, PuriActives® Ceramide E is distinguished by its thermodynamic behavior in cosmetic formulations.
When co-emulsified with physiological lipids (cholesterol and free fatty acids), it self-assembles into highly ordered Liquid Crystalline Lamellar Phases.
- Sustained Release: This multi-layered structure mimics healthy human sebum, offering long-lasting, sustained hydration rather than a temporary surface coating.
- Elegant Skin-Feel: It delivers rich, intensive moisturization without the heavy, greasy tackiness traditionally associated with heavy ointments.
4. Formulation Excellence: The “Golden Ratio”
To unlock the maximum clinical efficacy of PuriActives® Ceramide E, our scientists recommend the biomimetic 3:1:1 Ratio (Ceramide : Cholesterol : Free Fatty Acid).
Application Versatility:
- Face & Body Care: Barrier repair creams, anti-aging moisturizers, and soothing lotions for sensitive/eczema-prone skin (Use Level: 0.1% – 3.0%).
