Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 - Plant-Based Active for Advanced Skin Renewal
Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 is a high-performance botanical cosmetic active developed to support the natural renewal process of the skin while providing an alternative approach to conventional retinol-based formulations. Within the Mylo Opt ingredient range, it belongs to the Anti-Age Actives category and is widely incorporated into professional skincare, premium facial treatments, SPA products, dermocosmetic formulations, and daily skincare applications.
Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 is based on Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract, obtained from moth bean seeds. According to the INCI declaration, the composition includes Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract and Maltodextrin. Maltodextrin functions as a carrier that stabilizes the powdered extract and allows convenient incorporation into water-based cosmetic formulations.
The global cosmetics industry continues to increase the use of botanical ingredients that support smoother-looking skin without relying on traditional retinoids. For this reason, Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 has become a popular ingredient in modern anti-aging skincare, premium facial serums, emulsions, creams, overnight treatments, eye care products, neck creams, and professional cosmetic concentrates. Manufacturers appreciate the ingredient because it allows the development of plant-inspired skincare concepts while maintaining excellent formulation flexibility.
Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 is commonly selected for 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, enhance visual smoothness, and promote a healthier-looking complexion as part of a complete daily skincare routine.
Although anti-aging skincare remains its primary commercial application, the ingredient is also used in SPA cosmetics, post-seasonal skincare collections, premium home-care products, salon treatments, facial concentrates, sheet masks, lightweight emulsions, and multifunctional cosmetic systems intended for long-term skin maintenance.
Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 demonstrates excellent compatibility with numerous modern cosmetic ingredients. It is frequently formulated together with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol, ectoin, amino acids, ceramides, squalane, peptides, coenzyme Q10, tocopherol, stabilized vitamin C derivatives, botanical oils, and moisturizing complexes. These combinations enable formulators to create sophisticated multifunctional skincare products suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications.
The recommended use level for 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 after proper formulation evaluation and stability testing.
The ingredient is designed for incorporation into the water phase. Preparing a small aqueous pre-solution before addition helps achieve uniform distribution throughout the finished formulation. Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 should normally be introduced during the cooling phase of manufacturing at temperatures below 60°C, helping preserve the stability of its botanical constituents.
Vit-A-Like PW LS 9898 is compatible with conventional emulsions, lamellar emulsions, hydrogels, aqueous concentrates, and many modern cosmetic delivery systems. During product development, formulators should always verify compatibility with the complete formulation and perform stability testing under intended storage conditions.
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 type.
Store the ingredient in its original tightly sealed container in a cool, dry location protected from direct sunlight, moisture, and excessive heat. Only clean, dry manufacturing equipment should be used to prevent moisture contamination of the powder.
