Faradiol

Product Description

Faradiol is a high-purity triterpene diol, representing the most potent anti-inflammatory active found in Calendula flowers. While Calendula extract is widely known for soothing, Faradiol isolates the core power behind this effect. Its key advantage is its exceptional, targeted ability to inhibit key inflammatory markers, delivering superior calming and redness reduction compared to standard extracts. For formulators seeking maximum efficacy and a science-backed upgrade for high-performance soothing, post-procedure, and sensitive skincare products, Faradiol is the premier choice.

Product Uses

This potent active is ideal for high-efficacy dermo-cosmetic and soothing formulations:

• Soothing Formulations: The perfect hero ingredient for intensive calming serums, recovery balms, and masks targeting severely irritated or reactive skin.
• Post-Procedure/Sun Care: A key component in after-sun lotions and post-treatment creams to rapidly reduce inflammation and support healing.
• Baby Care: Used in high-end diaper creams and lotions for its potent yet gentle soothing action on delicate skin.

Formulation Suggestions

The recommended dosage is between 0.05-0.5%. Faradiol is a high-melting-point crystalline powder with poor water solubility. It must be pre-dissolved in a suitable solvent system, such as a blend of glycols (e.g., propanediol) or ethanol, often requiring heating (70-90°C), before being added to a formulation. It can also be incorporated into the hot oil phase. Ensure complete dissolution to prevent recrystallization. It works synergistically with Bisabolol and Panthenol.
