Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a vitamin composition, a method for producing the vitamin composition, various uses of the vitamin composition, and a cosmetic preparation containing the vitamin composition. The present invention also relates to the use of specific compounds for stabilizing vitamins.
Background Art
[0002] Vitamins are multifunctional substances commonly used in cosmetics. For example, they are used as antioxidants, anti-aging agents, skin whitening agents, and anti-inflammatory agents. For example, vitamins are used to strengthen the skin barrier or to protect the skin or hair from oxidative stress or damage (including UV-induced oxidative stress or damage).
[0003] There are two main groups of vitamins: fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E, and K. Water-soluble vitamins include vitamin C and the vitamin B group.
[0004] Water-soluble vitamins are unstable under certain conditions and can be easily oxidized or decomposed by light, oxygen, high temperature, alkali, metal, and / or the level of pH, and / or interaction with specific raw materials contained in cosmetics. For example, ascorbic acid oxidizes immediately in an aqueous solution. For example, niacinamide hydrolyzes at a low pH value. It is still difficult to maintain the stability of vitamin B containing vitamin C and niacinamide in an aqueous solution.
