INCI: Superoxide Dismutase

In short · TL;DR

Category

Antioxidant

Effect

An enzyme that breaks down superoxide among reactive oxygen species. Used as an antioxidant enzyme to help maintain skin condition

Concentration

Designed on an activity-unit (U) basis; % notation is formulation-dependent (conditional)

Effect

An enzyme that breaks down superoxide among reactive oxygen species. Used as an antioxidant enzyme to help maintain skin condition

Mechanism

It is said to dismutate superoxide anion (O2•⁻) into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, curbing the early stage of oxidative stress

Typical concentration

Designed on an activity-unit (U) basis; % notation is formulation-dependent (conditional)

Onset

Action is assumed under oxidative stress; a perceptible effect takes roughly several weeks (individual variation)

Cautions

Being a protein, it can be deactivated by heat and pH. A stabilizing formulation is a prerequisite. Rarely, a possibility of sensitization
