Azelaic Acid is a gentle yet powerful multitasking ingredient.

Perfect for tackling acne, uneven tone, and sensitive skin concerns. By incorporating it into your DIY skincare formulations, you can create effective treatments for clearer, brighter, and healthier-looking skin.

Decreases pigmentation, inhibiting an enzyme called tyrosinase that leads to hyperpigmentation, or dark patches of skin. 

Azelaic Acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid widely celebrated in skincare for its gentle yet effective properties.

Derived from grains such as barley, wheat, and rye, it is particularly beneficial for those dealing with acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, or sensitive skin.

Its versatility and tolerability make it a popular ingredient in many skincare formulations.

Benefits of Azelaic Acid in Skincare:

Fights Acne:
Reduces the growth of acne-causing bacteria and clears clogged pores, making it an effective treatment for mild to moderate acne.

Reduces Inflammation:
Soothes redness and irritation, making it ideal for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.

Brightens Skin:
Helps fade hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and melasma by inhibiting melanin production.

Improves Texture:
Promotes gentle exfoliation, leading to smoother and more even skin texture.

Non-Irritating:
Gentle on the skin compared to stronger actives like benzoyl peroxide or retinoids, making it suitable for all skin types.

How to Use Azelaic Acid in Skincare:

Application:
0.5% - 10%

Incorporating Azelaic Acid into Your Cosmetic Formula:
To successfully add azelaic acid to your serum, solution, cream, or lotion, follow these guidelines:

- Dissolve azelaic acid in a compatible solvent, such as propylene glycol or ethoxydiglycol.
- For serums and solutions, add the azelaic acid mixture during the cool-down phase.
- For creams and lotions, incorporate the azelaic acid mixture into the water phase before emulsification.
- Ensure the final product pH ranges from 4.5 to 6.5 to maintain azelaic acid stability and effectiveness.

Sun Protection:
Always use sunscreen during the day when incorporating azelaic acid into your routine, as it can increase sensitivity to UV rays.

Precautions:

Patch Test:
Always perform a patch test before full application to ensure there’s no sensitivity or allergic reaction.

Start Slowly:
Begin with lower concentrations if you’re new to azelaic acid and gradually increase frequency.

Avoid Mixing with Harsh Actives:
Avoid using with strong exfoliants (like AHAs or BHAs) or retinoids in the same routine to prevent irritation.

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place, and ensure the final product is in a light-proof container to maintain stability.
