So u may try this out! NuTeen oil control
skin care series
Their active ingredients include Triclosan and Salicylic acid.
Triclosan in this product can regulate sebum
production, help to keep skin shine free all day, prevent formation of acne and
pimples by reducing bacterial growth in the pores and prevent inflammation. Triclosan
contains in this product is an antibacterial
and antifungal
agent. It is a polychloro phenoxy phenol.
5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol
This organic compound
is a white powdered solid
with a slight aromatic odour. It is chlorinated
aromatic compound
that has functional groups
representative of both ethers
and phenols.
Phenols often show antibacterial properties. Triclosan is only slightly soluble
in water, but soluble in ethanol,
methanol,
diethyl ether,
and strongly basic solutions
such as a 1 M
sodium hydroxide
solution. Triclosan can be synthesized from 2,4-dichlorophenol.
Besides, salicylic acid contains in this product can slow down accumulation of dead skin and oil granules that clog pores and help to remove existing blackheads and whiteheads.
Salicylic acid
is a monohydroxybenzoic acid, a
type of phenolic acid and a beta hydroxyl acid.
This colourless crystalline organic acid
is widely used in organic synthesis
and functions as a plant hormone.
It is derived from the metabolism of salicin.
In addition to being an important active metabolite
of aspirin
(acetylsalicylic acid), which
acts in part as a prodrug
to salicylic acid, it is probably best known for its use in anti-acne
treatments. The salts and esters
of salicylic acid are known as salicylates.
Salicylic acid has the formula C6H4(OH)COOH,
where the OH group is ortho to
the carboxyl group.
It is also known as 2-hydroxybenzoic acid. It is poorly soluble in water (2 g/L
at 20 °C). Aspirin
(acetylsalicylic acid or ASA) can be prepared by the esterification
of the phenolic
hydroxyl group of
salicylic acid with the acetyl
group from acetic anhydride
or acetyl chloride.
ln modern medicine, salicylic acid and its
derivatives are used as constituents of some rubefacient
products.
When buying a skin care product, we must
always check the ingredients and take note which one is good or bad for the
skin. This is important because, some product may contain
toxic chemical which are harmful for the skin.
Thus, always have a look on product
ingredients before purchasing a skin care products!
