Lexorez™ TL-8

Trimethylpentanediol/Adipic Acid Copolymer

Actives Delivery System

Lexorez™ TL-8 is a polymer system that aids in controlled delivery of actives. Specifically, it is used in sunless tanning products as a delivery system for DHA (dihydroxyacetone) and is also effective in other skincare products with cosmetic actives, including anti-aging products.

Provides darker and longer lasting color in sunless tanning
Compatible with antioxidants
Improves cell renewal rate in AHA formulations
Reduces irritation in AHA formulations

Lexorez™ TL-8 acts as a reservoir for actives by entrapping them within the polymer matrix.

Solubilizes actives into Polymeric Liquid Reservoir which holds actives and slows their diffusion into the stratum corneum (SC)
Low molecular weight facilitates uniform distribution of actives across the stratum corneum
Diffusion of actives into the epidermis is gradual over an extended period of time and the active interaction with Epidermis/Dermis is prolonged
Actives partition across the Reservoir/SC interface at a controlled rate (governed by Fick’s law of diffusion)
Reduces irritation typically caused by some cosmetic actives
Polymer structure prevents penetration of Lexorez™ TL-8 into SC
