Product description

Azeloglycine is a water-soluble, multifunctional active ingredient derived from azelaic acid. It is produced by binding azelaic acid – obtained by oxidative cleavage of oleic acid from vegetable oils – to two molecules of the amino acid glycine and neutralizing it with potassium. The result is a potassium salt which, unlike azelaic acid itself, is well soluble in water, gentle on the skin and easy to incorporate into formulations. It combines several effects at once – it brightens, regulates sebum production and hydrates.

Key benefits

Brightens the skin and evens out skin tone – acts on melanin production and reduces hyperpigmentation as well as post-blemish marks.
Regulates sebum production – suitable for oily and combination skin, provides a mattifying effect.
Hydrates and supports a feeling of suppleness of the skin.
Soothes skin prone to redness and blemishes.
Non-irritating and gentler to the skin than pure azelaic acid.

Suitable for products such as

serums and emulsions for evening out skin tone
day and night creams for oily and combination skin
facial toners and hydrogels
products for skin prone to blemishes and redness

Use in formulation

Water-soluble – added to the aqueous phase.
Miscible with other water-soluble active ingredients (for example niacinamide, panthenol, hyaluronic acid).
Compatible with a wide pH range (stable at approximately pH 5–11).
Recommended usage level 3–10 %.
It is recommended to add it during the cooling phase (at a temperature below 40 °C).

Safety and storage

Store in a well-closed container, protected from light, heat and moisture.
The raw material is intended for the manufacture of cosmetics for external use.
Before placing the finished product on the market, we recommend a safety assessment and compliance with the applicable legislation.

Frequently asked questions

How does Azeloglycine differ from azelaic acid?

Azeloglycine is a potassium salt bound to glycine, thanks to which it dissolves in water and is much easier to incorporate than pure azelaic acid, which is practically insoluble in water. It is effective at the usual pH of the product and does not require high concentrations or an acidic environment, which makes it gentler to the skin.

Which other active ingredients can Azeloglycine be combined with?

It is well tolerated with water-soluble components that are added to the same phase – for example with niacinamide for tone evening, with hyaluronic acid and panthenol for hydration. Thanks to this, it can be included in more complex serums and creams without compatibility issues.

Is Azeloglycine suitable for sensitive skin prone to redness?

Yes. It belongs among the gentler active ingredients and is usually well tolerated even where stronger acids irritate the skin. Nevertheless, for a new formulation we recommend first testing tolerance on a small area.

Does Azeloglycine increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight?

By itself, it is not known as a substance that causes photosensitivity. However, for products focused on evening out skin tone, we generally recommend supplementing with daily sun protection in order to maintain the result.

Is Azeloglycine meaningful also in rinse-off products, such as cleansing gels?

Since it is soluble in water, it can also be incorporated into cleansing gels. However, it is most effective in products that remain on the skin (serums, creams, toners), where it has time to act. In rinse-off products, its benefit is naturally smaller.
