Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine

Shaanxi Huatai Bio-fine Chemical Co. provides a premium, cosmetic-grade Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine designed for high-performance brightening systems. Our unique selling proposition lies in its role as a biological signal antagonist, which prevents the “start signal” of melanin production before it even reaches the enzyme stage. Unlike traditional inhibitors, our 98% purity powder acts as a formula amplifier, significantly enhancing the overall efficacy of a product when combined with other actives to tackle the most stubborn, deep-seated discoloration.

1. Product Overview & Key Specifications

Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine is a lipoamino acid that functions as a sophisticated skin tone regulator. It is highly regarded in the cosmetic industry for its ability to provide a more uniform complexion by interrupting the hormonal cues that trigger pigmentation.

2. Technical Highlights & Critical Parameters

Our material is refined to ensure maximum compatibility with modern cosmetic oil phases and emulsifiers.

• Purity: ≥ 98.0%

• Melting Point: 105.0°C – 115.0°C

• Heavy Metals: < 10 ppm

• Acid Value: 140 – 165 mg KOH/g

3. Mechanism of Action (MoA)

• Alpha-MSH Antagonism: It acts as an antagonist for the MC1 receptor on melanocytes, effectively blocking the signal from Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone.

• Upstream Regulation: By interrupting the process at the signaling stage, it prevents the activation of tyrosinase, leading to a comprehensive reduction in melanin synthesis.

4. Core Advantages & Market USPs

• Formula Potentiator: Dramatically increases the visible results of whitening formulas when used as a co-active.

• Targets Stubborn Spots: Specifically effective against age spots and sun-induced hyperpigmentation that resists standard treatments.

• Excellent Skin Affinity: Being a lipoamino acid, it possesses high biological compatibility and penetrates the skin efficiently.

5. Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Usage: 1.0% – 2.0%.

• Processing: Best added to the oil phase; requires heating to approximately 80°C to ensure full dissolution.

• pH Stability: Optimal stability in finished formulations with a pH of 5.0 – 7.0.

6. Quality Assurance & Regulatory Confidence

Our manufacturing facility is ISO 9001/22000 and HALAL certified. We provide a comprehensive technical dossier, including COA and MSDS, to ensure our cosmetic-grade raw materials comply with international safety standards.

7. Recommended Synergistic Combinations

1. Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine + Niacinamide: A classic synergy that blocks both the production signal and the subsequent transfer of melanin.

2. Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine + Alpha Arbutin: Combines signal blocking with direct enzyme inhibition for multi-level brightening.

3. Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine + Glabridin: For high-end formulations targeting luxury “all-clear” skin results.

8. Typical Applications & Success Stories

This ingredient is a staple in “Intensive Brightening Serums” and “Anti-Spot Day Creams”. Many brands have successfully marketed “7-day radiance” claims by incorporating our Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine as the core signal-blocking technology.

9. Scientific Evidence & Literature Support

In-vivo studies demonstrate that Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine significantly outperforms traditional agents in reducing the intensity of dark spots when applied consistently over a 6 to 8-week period. Internal lab trials confirm its superior ability to lighten the skin tone by inhibiting hormone-induced melanogenesis.
