Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessCARE BCX

A Multi-Pathway Approach to Acne Treatment

AccessCARE BCX functions through a synergistic mechanism that targets the primary causes of acne. The core of the complex, Lactobacillus-fermented Chamaecyparis obtusa Leaf Extract, provides potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action, directly inhibiting the proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). Fermentation enhances the bioavailability of active compounds for improved performance. Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice) Root Extract complements this by soothing irritation and redness associated with breakouts while helping to regulate sebum production. Citrus Unshiu Fruit Extract offers antioxidant protection and aids in fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), while Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil provides lightweight, non-comedogenic moisture.

Formulation Guidelines

This active is a user-friendly liquid that is completely water-soluble, making it easy to incorporate into a wide range of product formats. Add AccessCARE BCX to the water phase of your formulation. For best results, incorporate it during the cool-down phase at a temperature below 40°C (104°F) to protect the integrity of the fermented and botanical actives. It is stable within a typical cosmetic pH range of 4.5 to 6.5. This complex is compatible with other common anti-acne ingredients like salicylic acid (BHA) and niacinamide, as well as hydrating actives like hyaluronic acid.
