Hydracell QS

Bioactive Glutamine Complex for Deep Hydration and Collagen Synthesis

INCI Name: Water, Dipotassium Phosphate, Acetyl Glutamine, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Hydracell QS is a high-performance active complex featuring Acetyl Glutamine, a stabilized form of L-Glutamine. It penetrates the skin to deliver deep, cellular-level hydration while stimulating collagen synthesis and promoting cell activation. This mechanism improves skin elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and supports overall skin health. Supplied as a stable, easy-to-use liquid, Hydracell QS is ideal for advanced skin, body, and hair care applications.

Solubility Notes:

Water-soluble. Add to the water phase or during the cool-down phase of formulation below 40°C (104°F).

Performance & Formulation Insights for Hydracell QS

How Acetyl Glutamine Works

Hydracell QS harnesses the power of Acetyl Glutamine, a highly stable and bioavailable derivative of the essential amino acid L-Glutamine. L-Glutamine is fundamental for protein synthesis (including collagen) and serves as a critical energy source for cells. Acetylation enhances both stability and dermal penetration. Once absorbed, Acetyl Glutamine fuels cellular metabolism, supports fibroblast proliferation, and boosts new collagen synthesis. This dual-action mechanism delivers deep, lasting hydration from within while reinforcing the skin’s structural integrity for a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.

Formulation Guidelines

Hydracell QS is a clear, water-soluble liquid that is easy to incorporate into a wide range of cosmetic systems. For optimal performance, add it to the water phase or during the cool-down period below 40°C (104°F). It is stable within a cosmetic pH range of 4.5–7.0. The recommended usage level is 1–5%. Hydracell QS is compatible with hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamins, and botanical extracts, enabling multi-functional, synergistic anti-aging and hydrating formulas.
