Traditional Use

A synthetic derivative of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) developed in the 1980s-1990s for anti-aging skincare products. While CoQ10 itself has roots in bioenergetics research from the 1950s, this modified form was specifically engineered to improve skin penetration and antioxidant stability.
