Q10 coenzyme
INCI Name: Ubiquinone
Ubiquitous throughout the body, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an endogenous lipophilic molecule with a central role in cellular energy metabolism—more specifically, the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Additionally, CoQ10 functions as an effective antioxidant molecule involved in neutralization of reactive species and other free radicals. CoQ10 levels in the skin decrease with age and exposure to UV radiation.
Topical supplementation of CoQ10 has been shown to ameliorate signs of skin aging both by stabilizing mitochondrial activity and by exerting antioxidant properties, which typically translates to regeneration of skin processes involved in cutaneous skin aging.
