DMAE Bitartrate

Product details

 

Assay: DMAE 37%

A note about DMAE Anime: 'Pure' DMAE (amine ) is extremely alkaline and not suitable for DIY.  Even if you have the anime form, it will still need to be neutralized to make it suitable for use on the skin.  DMAE bitartrate, is already neutralized with tartaric acid. 

Solubility: water

Suggested percentage:3% to 5% (13.5% DMAE bitartrate to make a 5% DMAE product)


Storage: Cool, dry place. Do not freeze. Keep away from light and moisture!
Country of origin: China

"It has been demonstrated that DMAE causes some degree of skin tightening.

 

However, despite speculation it remains unclear how DMAE firms the skin -- whether by stabilizing the membranes, boosting acetylcholine, reducing lipofuscin deposits or none of the above.

 

Whatever the mechanism, the effect of DMAE is often noticeable although seldom dramatic.

 

Besides, even though DMAE can't fully reverse the existing facial sag, it may reduce its further progression. Some people report a cumulative effect with continued use of DMAE." Dr. G. Todorov. Will DMAE lift your face, or just your wallet?, Smartskincare.com.

 

DMAE Bitartrate is an active ingredient that promotes firm skin, fullness of the lips, and has anti aging properties. DMAE bitartrate is neutralized with tartaric acid to make it suitable for homemade skin care. references and abstracts
