Dimethylmethoxy chromanol Usage And Synthesis

Description

Dimethylmethoxy chromanol (DMC) is a synthetic molecule with a structure similar to α-Tocopherol (vitamin E) and works as a super potent antioxidant. It is known for not only protecting against reactive oxygen species (ROS) but also against reactive nitrogen species (RNS) (both are evil reactive molecules that cause damage to cells and tissues and are responsible for several mechanisms that trigger skin aging).

benefits

The main benefit of Dimethylmethoxy chromanol (DMC) is protection from environmental agents and the inhibition of pro-aging damage associated with these agents. Research proves this ingredient clears unwanted cellular debris and helps alleviate damage from pollution, UV rays, and other aggressors. By mitigating this damage, DMC can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help maintain the skin's architecture, keeping it feeling tight and youthful. DMCs also help even out skin tone as they tackle dark spots and spots associated with external damage. Due to its antioxidant benefits, DMC features some sunscreen formulas to help fortify and provide an added layer of UV ray damage mitigation.
