Performance & Formulation Insights for VB9-Plus
How VB9-Plus Works
VB9-Plus leverages a multi-pathway approach to improve skin health and appearance. At its core is a biotechnologically derived Folic Acid (Vitamin B9), produced through the fermentation of soybeans by Bacillus. This process enhances the bioavailability of Vitamin B9, a key coenzyme for DNA synthesis and repair, supporting healthy cell turnover and overall vitality.
A notable advantage is its anti-porphyrin effect. Porphyrins are metabolites produced by acne-associated bacteria (notably C. acnes) that can trigger inflammation and oxidative stress. By helping to regulate porphyrin synthesis, VB9-Plus promotes clearer-looking skin and reduces visible signs of distress. This action works synergistically with Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate from licorice root, a potent anti-inflammatory that calms redness and irritation. Complementing these benefits, Sodium Hyaluronate provides essential hydration by binding water to the skin’s surface, helping to plump and smooth texture.
Formulation Guidelines
VB9-Plus is a user-friendly aqueous solution that integrates easily into a wide range of systems. Add to the water phase or during the cool-down stage below 40°C (104°F) to preserve actives. The complex is stable within pH 4.0–7.0 and is compatible with most cosmetic ingredients, including vitamins, botanical extracts, and peptides.
