Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 - Botanical Active for Advanced Skin Renewal
Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 is a highly concentrated botanical cosmetic active developed to support the skin's natural renewal process while providing an alternative approach to traditional retinol-based formulations. Within the Mylo Opt ingredient portfolio, it belongs to the Anti-Age Actives category and is widely used in professional skincare, home care products, SPA formulations, dermocosmetic applications, and premium anti-aging cosmetic developments.
Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 is based on Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract, derived from moth bean seeds. According to the official INCI declaration, the composition consists of Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract and Maltodextrin. The botanical extract provides the functional activity, while maltodextrin serves as a carrier that improves powder stability and allows convenient incorporation into cosmetic formulations.
Worldwide demand for plant-derived ingredients that can be incorporated into modern skincare products continues to grow rapidly. As a result, Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 has become a popular ingredient in facial creams, concentrated serums, emulsions, lightweight lotions, overnight treatments, sheet masks, eye care products, neck creams, and premium cosmetic concentrates. Formulators value this ingredient because it enables the development of sophisticated botanical skincare concepts while maintaining excellent formulation flexibility.
Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 is especially suitable for cosmetic products designed for mature, dull, uneven-looking, or environmentally stressed skin. It is incorporated into formulations intended to support the skin's natural renewal cycle, improve the appearance of skin texture, promote a smoother complexion, and enhance the overall look of healthy skin. Although frequently compared with retinol-oriented skincare concepts, the ingredient is not retinol and is not a vitamin A derivative, making it a distinct botanical cosmetic active.
Beyond anti-aging skincare, Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 is widely used in professional salon treatments, SPA cosmetics, post-seasonal skincare collections, daily facial care, restorative cosmetic lines, and multifunctional premium formulations. Its excellent compatibility with modern cosmetic ingredients makes it suitable for both conventional and innovative skincare systems.
Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 combines well with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol, ectoin, amino acids, peptides, ceramides, squalane, coenzyme Q10, tocopherol, stabilized vitamin C derivatives, botanical oils, moisturizing complexes, and numerous plant extracts. These combinations allow formulators to develop advanced multifunctional cosmetic products with balanced ingredient profiles.
The recommended dosage of Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 is 0.21-0.35%. Since the ingredient is supplied as a concentrated botanical powder, higher concentrations should only be considered following appropriate formulation evaluation and stability testing.
Before incorporation, the powder should preferably be dissolved in a small amount of distilled water to obtain a uniform solution. The prepared solution is then added to the finished emulsion or aqueous system during the cooling stage. The recommended incorporation temperature is below 60°C, helping preserve the stability of the botanical extract.
Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 is intended for the water phase and is compatible with conventional emulsions, lamellar emulsions, hydrogels, aqueous concentrates, facial serums, and many modern cosmetic delivery systems. During product development, formulators should always verify compatibility with the complete formulation and perform standard stability testing before commercial production.
The recommended working pH range is 3-8, although the final pH should always be selected according to the complete formulation, preservative system, and intended product application.
The raw material should be stored in its original tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place protected from moisture, direct sunlight, and excessive heat. During manufacturing, only clean and dry equipment should be used to prevent contamination of the powder.
