Coenzyme Q10 (also called ubiquinone) is a molecule with great importance for energy production in human cells. Since its role in helping the energy-generating enzymes has been known for almost 50 years, it is rather well researched, yet new benefits of this coenzyme are still being discovered. Besides metabolism, it is very important as an antioxidant – it is the only lipid antioxidant naturally produced in human cells, meaning that it can reach and neutralize oxidation damage in water-insoluble molecules. More recently, it was discovered that coenzyme Q10 acts as a gene regulator, and can control inflammation, cell signaling, nutrient transport and other processes.

Our Coenzyme Q10 is a Vitamin-like molecule (ubiquinone, ubidecarenone) obtained from plant material. Q10 is encapsulated in nano-sized liposomes consisting of a phospholipid double nano-emulsion with vitamin E and vitamin C (ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate) to maintain activity, enhance skin penetration and potency. Accompanying vitamin E and vitamin C are needed to activate coenzyme to its active state. The liposomes have an average particle size of about 50nm. Can be easily incorporated into aqueous formulas. Activity 6.8-7.3% Q10 (liposome-encapsulation largely reduces the amount of Q10 required for effectiveness as compared to non-encapsulated pure Q10). Preserved with 0.1% sodium benzoate. Orange-opaque liquid, faint odor.

Cosmetic Benefits of Liquid Coenzyme Q10:

• Excellent antioxidant due to vitamin E and vitamin C
• Can significantly reduce the appearance of aged skin and wrinkles. Has been found to improve appearance of aged skin
• Potent moisturizer as liposomes can penetrate into skin minimizing water-loss.
• Ideal to fight against scalp and hair aging but also to reinforce and revitalize hair
