Granactive ACNE

Description

Granactive ACNE is a botanical complex containing a patented antimicrobial peptide for use in products associated with treating acne symptoms. This product can be formulated with an approved OTC acne ingredient, like salicylic acid or simply used in a toner to help maintain healthy skin.

Oligopeptide-10 is an anti-microbial peptide derived from plant amino acids that is highly synergistic with salicylic acid. This allows salicylic acid to be effectively formulated near the 0.5% level, the lowest permissible use level as defined in CFR Vol. 56, No.159 §333.310c, the monograph for acne treatments. In comparison, other products formulated near the 2% salicylic acid level are irritating. Salicylic acid is comedolytic and opens up the infected pores to allow oxygen in. This action also enables access of Oligopeptide-10 into the pores for a maximum bacteriostatic effect.
