SLOW AGING with the “SUPER MINI METAL”
Young skincare users are embracing the concept of “slow aging” and we see their renewed interest on the concept of antioxidation and how it can delay the early signs of aging.
Vitamin C and E have always been hero ingredients for antioxidation, but other powerful antioxidants such as glutathione or plant polyphenols are becoming popular again in recent Gen-Z skincare launches in the region.*

Zinc (like calcium) is a key signaling molecule in our body. It is highly present in the epidermis- signifying its critical role in amplifying our internal antioxidant defense system against external forms of stress.

Zinc complexed with 2 amino acids (glycine) effectively penetrates into the skin, delivering zinc and inducing 2 internal antioxidants in our cells.
1. Metallothionein (MT)- a zinc chaperone & an antioxidant and also promotes synthesis of 2. Glutathione (GSH)- another powerful free radical scavenger.
When cells are exposed to external forms of stress, there is an elevated production of ROS (Reactive oxygen species) that causes a chain reaction of oxidative damage across cellular components (lipids, proteins or DNA).
NIKKOL Zinc-Glycine Complex effectively abolishes this "surge" of oxidation by enhancing 2 powerful antioxidants present in our skin.
