The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, guidance documents, and trading standards legislation all affect the labelling of cosmetic products. The main focus is on the ingredients list. We provide a comprehensive range of analytical methods to assist you with claim substantiation, due diligence, labelling and ingredient stability.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Magnesuim ascorbyl phosphate is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C. Like vitamin C, it can act as an inhibitor of melanin formation and also plays a role in collagen formation. Unlike vitamin C, it is nonirritating and more stable than vitamin C and is effective in significantly lower concentrations.

Retinoic Acid (RA)

Retinoic acid or all-trans retinoic acid or ATRA is the acid form of vitamin A and so also known as tretinoin. It is most commonly used treatment of acne and also was studied to treat photoaging. Topical tretinoin is also used to treat and reduce the appearance of stretch marks by increasing collagen production in the dermis.
