ALPHASCIENCE
NEXTGEN® TECHNOLOGY
The most powerful antioxidants in nature are also the most fragile. Expose them to heat, light or water - and they loose their properties.
This is the fundamental challenge of antioxidant skincare, and one that has long defined the limits of what skincare formulation can achieve.
NextGen® is ALPHASCIENCE’s answer to this problem.
The Challenge of Stabilization
In a conventional water-based formula, antioxidant molecules are inherently unstable.
They interact with each other and with their environment through ionization and electron exchanges - a process that rapidly degrades their structure and neutralizes their efficacy. By the time many conventional formulas reach the skin, a significant portion of their active potential is already lost.
This instability is a particularly key challenge for the molecules ALPHASCIENCE works with: pure L-ascorbic acid, Cysteamine and ECGC are among the most potent antioxidants available in cosmeceutical science - and among the most difficult to preserve in a formula.
How NextGen® Works
NextGen® is a unique stabilization system based on the advanced modulation of antioxidant ionization and electron transfer processes.
Controlling the ionic environment in which the active molecules coexist, prevents the degradation reactions that would otherwise occur - keeping each ingredient structurally intact, bioavailable, and active from the moment of formulation through to its absorption into the skin.
