<\/a>What is Chirally Correct Skincare?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, pharmaceutical companies have spent billions of dollars on chiral research to manufacture drugs with higher purity. Some of today\u2019s leading skincare brands are harnessing these same discoveries to make their formulas even more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what exactly is chirally correct skincare? To put it simply, a chiral molecule is the chemical term for a molecule that isn\u2019t symmetrical. The easiest way to understand chirality is the right hand and left hand of a molecule. Here\u2019s why: the same way that hands mirror one another and aren\u2019t identical, molecules also have a mirror image of one another that isn\u2019t superimposable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In formulas, each chiral molecule (aka the mirror image of a molecule) is given a prefix to its chemical name \u2013 either d or l. With vitamin E for example, its chemical name is alpha-tocopherol. Its two chiral molecules are called d-alpha-tocopherol and l-alpha-tocopherol. But even though these mirrored molecules are nearly identical, only one of them can be used by the human body. This is because, even those these molecules might be similar, they often don\u2019t offer the same benefits. In the case of vitamin E, d-alpha-tocopherol is the one that\u2019s accepted by our skin. Keep reading to learn why that matters when it comes to your skincare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>What are the Benefits of Chirally Correct Skincare?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all ingredients can be purified to be chirally correct. But the ones that can are able to deliver even more potent results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chirally correct skincare contains the correct mirrored molecules of the ingredients in your skincare. When you\u2019re using the more effective molecule, you\u2019re able to get the maximum potential of the active ingredient\u2019s benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removing the less-effective aspect of the ingredient is removed leaves you with 100% of the more effective side. This is known as chirally correct. Instead of the natural, whole form of vitamin E, for example, a chirally correct skincare product would be sorted so that only the active molecule, d-alpha-tocopherol, is added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>What Happens When Your Skincare Isn\u2019t Chirally Correct<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So what happens if your skincare isn\u2019t chirally correct? In short, unsorted skincare is less potent as you\u2019re receiving only 50% of its active molecules. A non-chirally correct ingredient has equal amounts of the l-molecule and d-molecule. So, if your skincare product has 10ml of vitamin E in it, that would mean it only contains 5ml of the active vitamin E molecules that will nourish your skin and 5ml of the molecule that does absolutely nothing, leaving you with skincare that\u2019s half as potent and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
