Description

What it is

Acetyl L-Carnitine is a water-soluble amino acid derivative supplied as a fine crystal powder. It is a raw material for topical cosmetic products, not a finished product. Confirm the full INCI and assay on the supplier certificate of analysis for each lot.

It is listed in our cosmetic actives section next to L-carnitine 99, and body-contouring gels often combine it with caffeine.

Cosmetic role

In face and body care, Acetyl L-Carnitine is used in formulas for a smoother-looking, well-conditioned and toned-looking appearance. The supplier specification lists creams, serums, after-sun care cosmetics, hair cosmetics, lotions and balms.

How to work with it

Dissolve the powder fully in the water phase of leave-on products such as serums, essences, creams, lotions and body care emulsions. Make sure no undissolved crystals remain before adding thickeners. Check the final pH and preservative efficacy before launch. Leave-on formats give the longest contact time with the skin.

Pairing ideas

Pair it with humectants such as glycerin or panthenol and with other water-phase cosmetic ingredients when pH and preservation are balanced. For body care, it fits firming-look and smoothing lotions and gels.

Powder or liquid

Compared with liquid concentrates, the powder ships lighter in larger quantities and lets you set the exact percentage in water. It needs a dissolution step.

Storage

Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from light, heat and humidity, and close the container right after weighing.
