Flavo-C Cream Ingredients

Flavo-C cream manufactured by Auriga base in India composed the below active ingredients:

L-ascorbic acid

it has been suggested to use ascorbic acid in microencapsulation form, in combination with other chemical moieties such as vitamin-E, by the control of pH and electrolyte concentration and use of stabilizing agents like citric, tartaric, or ferulic acids. A large number of cosmetic creams and lotions are available in the market containing the derivatives of ascorbic acid (e.g., sodium ascorbate, ascorbyl palmitate). 

Although these preparations are chemically stable, they lack the pharmacological activity of ascorbic acid. In the present review, it has been emphasized to consider the importance of various factors involved in the formulation of such preparations to achieve the stabilization of ascorbic acid as such, to maintain its pharmacological activity.

Hyaluronic acid

As we age, our skin loses the ability to preserve moisture, resulting in the visible loss of firmness, pliability, and plumpness. Hyaluronic acid swoops in with the ability to replenish moisture that is crucial to having younger-looking, supple skin.

At the same time, it revitalizes skin’s outer layers so they look and feel softer, smoother, and, glowingly hydrated to instantly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Polysaccharide complex

Bacterial polysaccharides are biocompatible, biodegradable, and usually nontoxic natural biopolymers that possess physicochemical properties suitable for use as cosmetic ingredients. Some of them, namely, hyaluronic acid (HA), bacterial cellulose (BC), and levan, have biological properties (e.g., skin regeneration and protection) and are used as active agents in cosmetic formulations. Other bacterial polysaccharides, such as xanthan gum and gellan gum, are mostly used as viscosity controllers and psychosensorial agents and are applied in cosmetic vehicles (e.g., emulsions, gels, and suspensions). The nontoxic nature of these bacterial polysaccharides has been thoroughly assessed by innumerous studies and their safety as cosmetic ingredients has been established.
