LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., May 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products'
(NYSE: APD) Versum Materials™ will be highlighting its innovative InuMax Advanced Retinol Cosmetic Active during the New York
Society of Cosmetic Chemists' (NYSCC) Suppliers Day event, May 10-11, in booth 311 at the
New Jersey Convention Center, Edison, N.J.
The new InuMax Advanced Retinol Delivery System is based on newly developed InuMax technology, which is designed specifically
to demonstrate excellent ingredient delivery and stability performance where higher-active loads are preferred.
Retinol is among the most well-known and well-studied cosmetic ingredients available to formulators that design anti-aging
products. Brands are increasingly differentiating their products through retinol use-level claims, such as "contains x% retinol."
Formulating such systems can present unique challenges that many retinol solutions were not optimized to address. High retinol
levels elevate the risk of skin irritation, can lead more readily to yellowing of a formulation, and can elevate consumer
expectations of efficacy.
The InuMax Advanced Retinol product was created specifically to help address these concerns. It can provide a high degree of
retinol stability, and notably lower skin irritation, while enabling delivery of a high load of retinol to the deeper skin layers
to encourage the appearance of more youthful skin.
