Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol description

Dimethylmethoxy chromanol (DMC) is a synthetically created potent skin care ingredient and antioxidant. It was purposely made to be structurally similar to vitamin E, even though it expands on that vitamin’s protective abilities. DMC is also often referred to by its trade name, Lipochroman-6. Specifically created for enhanced efficacy, DMC delivers such great antioxidant ability that it’s only recommended for usage in percentages between 0.01% and 0.05%. Protection from environmental agents and the inhibition of pro-aging damage associated with these agents is DMC’s main benefit. Research proves this ingredient clears away unwanted cellular debris and helps alleviate damage from pollution, UV rays and other aggressors. Through the mitigation of this damage, DMC can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help maintain the skin’s architecture, keeping it feeling tight and looking youthful. DMC’s also helps even out skin tone as it tackles dark spots and spots associated with external damage. Due to its antioxidant benefits, DMC features in some sunscreen formulas to help fortify and provide an added layer of UV ray damage mitigation. As a raw material, this skin care ingredient appears as a light yellow to brown powder.
