Summary

Antioxidant Skin Brightening Keratinocyte Support

Science

Mechanism of Action

Hypothesized to follow L-Cystine's mechanisms, which include acting as a glutathione precursor for antioxidant defense, influencing melanin synthesis towards lighter pheomelanin, and supporting keratinocyte viability. The impact of the dicapryloyl modification on these actions remains to be fully elucidated.

Stability

The optimal pH range for DICAPRYLOYL CYSTINE stability is not specified. Its parent, L-Cystine, shows low solubility at neutral pH, becoming more soluble under highly acidic (pH < 2) or alkaline (pH > 8) conditions; the dicapryloyl groups would likely alter these properties.
