A RESOURCE FOR HIGH ANTIOXIDANT FORMULATIONS
Introducing ORACsc
Brunswick Labs, the global leader in antioxidant R&D and testing, offers ORACsc, the most scientifically advanced commercial antioxidant testing system for human skin care applications. It represents several years of development and a break-through in comprehensive antioxidant testing for cosmetic skin care products.
Antioxidants and Skin Health
Your skin is a complex environment of oxidative stress. A wide range of agents – from UV to air pollution – wage war against healthy skin. Radicals such as hydroxyl, peroxyl, and singlet oxygen are of particular importance in the skin environment.
Antioxidants are making a natural migration to skin care products. “Skin care products containing antioxidants have become increasingly popular. The anti-aging effects of antioxidants have been documented,” says well-known dermatologist and researcher, David H. McDaniel, MD.
What’s Missing?
“A standardized method to compare antioxidant properties is lacking,” according to Dr. McDaniel.
Why ORACsc?
Only ORACsc bridges science and markets. It is recognized by medical professionals. “ORACsc provides a way to quantify antioxidant potential and compare skin care products by well accepted and validated scientific methods,” writes prominent dermatologist Darrell S. Rigel, MD, MS, Clinical Professor of Dermatology, New York University Medical Center.
It has been embraced by consumer products companies. “Meet ORACsc, Your Anti-Aging Friend,” Whole Foods promotes in a nutritional brochure. Look on supermarket shelves and in fine retail establishments and you will find ORACsc on premium products from Dole, Fuze (A Coca-Cola Company), Hershey, RevaleSkin (from Stiefel Laboratories), Welch’s, and Whole Foods.
ORACsc has an impressive scientific pedigree. It is patented, and has received broad acceptance in the scientific community, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the AOAC (Association of Analytical Communities, and the American Chemical Society.
It is versatile, and has established productive uses in a wide range of industries, from food and nutrition to pharmaceutical and environmental pollutant companies.
ORACsc and Skin Care
ORACsc is a natural choice for skin care products:
- Standardized, high-throughput commercial method
- Broad-spectrum antioxidant analysis
- Tests finished formulations – including complex finished products and lotions
- Growing consumer awareness and acceptance
- Used to test natural ingredients making “crossover” to cosmetics
- Gaining recognition among skin care specialists
ORACsc delivers valuable, science-based information about how to evaluate the comparative antioxidant potential of actual products. Health and nutrition consumers already use ORACsc to make informed purchasing decisions. They bring an understanding of and trust in ORACsc to skin care product purchases.
ORACsc provides comprehensive, broad-spectrum antioxidant testing against radicals present in the skin environment.
How ORACsc Works
ORACsc measures antioxidant activity against 4 of the most important free radicals found in the human skin environment. These are hydroxyl, peroxyl, peroxynitrite, and singlet oxygen. In a patent-pending analytical laboratory method, ORACsc combines all four measurements into a single, easy-to-use test result, or "fingerprint".
ORACsc allows analysis of the specific test "fingerprints" so that companies can fine-tune their product formulations based on free radical or other performance targets.
ORACsc advances the measurement of antioxidants in skin care products and brings the trusted ORACsc name to your research efforts and resulting formulations.
