Enhanced bioavailability to support antioxidant defence, barrier function, and skin longevity
Why choose NIKKOL Zinc-Glycine Complex?
Zinc ions are well known for their anti-ageing potential, yet in their free form their skin uptake remains limited. When complexed with glycine, zinc penetration is enhanced, enabling a more efficient delivery of its biological benefits: by optimising zinc’s availability, NIKKOL Zinc-Glycine Complex supports the skin barrier function and contributes to a slower visible ageing process, while also preventing scalp ageing signs.
INCI: Zinc Glycinate
Key benefits of NIKKOL Zinc-Glycine Complex
SKIN BENEFITS
- Antioxidant: Stimulates the expression of metallothionein, a key intracellular antioxidant protein involved in cellular defence against oxidative stress.
- Brightening & tone-evening: Helps regulate melanin production while mitigating UV-induced damage, contributing to a more even and luminous complexion.
- Anti-wrinkle support: Inhibits collagen degradation pathways, supporting the preservation of skin structure and helping reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
- Anti-pollution: Enhances detoxification enzyme activity and helps protect skin cells from damage caused by air pollutants.
HAIR & SCALP BENEFITS
- Anti Scalp flaking: Helps reduce dandruff and scalp inflammation by supporting skin barrier function in weakened or rough scalp areas.
- Hair growth promotion: Acts on hair matrix cells proliferation
- Antioxidant: Inhibits hair carbonylation after UV irradiation, preventing oxidative damage on hair fibers
- Anti hair color fading: helps maintain the color when used in shampoo
How to use in formulation
- NIKKOL Zinc-Glycine Complex does not fully dissolve in water. The solubility can be enhanced by using either a citric acid/sodium citrate buffer solution or amino acids
- Salt-tolerant water-soluble polymers, such as hydroxyethyl cellulose or xanthan gum, are recommended as thickeners.
