1.A new era of vitamin derivatives
China's cosmetic raw material industry started late, and the market share of local raw materials is still low. Many core raw materials rely on imports. In addition, compared with Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries, the types of cosmetic raw materials available in my country are relatively scarce. To change this situation, the raw material market must insist on innovation. Only innovation can gain a foothold in the rapidly changing raw material market. This means that raw material companies must not only meet the expectations of current consumers, but also actively respond to future trends, and create differentiated and professional new raw materials through in-depth understanding of market dynamics and technological frontiers.
Against this background, the craze for local new cosmetic raw materials continues to heat up. In the more than three years since the implementation of the new regulations, the filing of new cosmetic raw
materials has ushered in a blowout growth. As of September this year, more than 180 new raw
materials have completed the filing procedures, among which vitamin derivatives frequently appear on the list, mainly including derivatives of vitamin A and vitamin B.
The first new cosmetic raw material to complete filing this year, vitamin B6 derivative pyridoxine trihexyldecanoate, fired the first shot of new raw materials in 2024 and also took the lead in igniting the craze for vitamin derivatives in the new raw material battlefield. The vitamin market is not yet saturated, and vitamin derivatives still have broad room for development. The future is full of infinite possibilities and is exciting.
2.Keqin's "China·Vitamin" sentiment
As the leading category in the functional skin care track, vitamins and their derivatives have firmly grasped the market initiative with extensive and deep consumer awareness, powerful product efficacy and diversified application scenarios, and have become the first choice for brands and consumers for safe, effective and technological ingredients.
However, due to the number of available vitamin derivatives in the existing catalog, vitamin derivatives such as VC-IP, niacinamide, and A-alcohol have developed into a highly mature category, with a large number of players flocking in and the competition becoming increasingly fierce.
So, how can raw material companies stand out in the vitamin derivative market, achieve differentiated competition, and then occupy a place in the increasingly mature market?
Through in-depth market research and technological innovation, Keqin Laboratory focuses on the research and development of derivative molecules of the five major vitamins A, B, C, D, and E, gradually deploys Keqin's vitamin strategy, and establishes the Chinese vitamin brand mindset, which has formed a unique competitive advantage in this field.
In addition to working hard on existing vitamin derivative raw materials and continuously improving quality, Keqin is also committed to developing new vitamin derivative raw materials, using COACH-LINK® molecular design to connect different vitamins, or vitamins with other active molecules, thereby improving the stability of vitamins and improving skin permeability. More importantly, it can also enable vitamins to superimpose multiple functions and make them adjustable, pushing the reasonable regulation of the efficacy of active substances to the extreme.
Based on this advanced molecular design technology, Keqin Laboratory has taken the lead in registering two new vitamin derivative raw materials - tocopherol retinoate (National Cosmetics Original Registration Number: 20230019) and pyridoxine tri-hexyldecanoate (National Cosmetics Original Registration Number: 20240001), both of which have independent intellectual property rights. The official launch of the two new raw materials has not only injected new technological vitality into the Chinese beauty industry, but also accelerated the transformation of vitamin derivatives from basic nutrients to high-efficiency beauty active ingredients.
At present, Keqin Laboratory has a variety of products in the vitamin derivative product line, including retinol, retinal, HPR, retinol retinoate, tocopherol retinoate in the category of vitamin A derivatives, pyridoxine tri-hexyldecanoate, myristyl nicotinate, tocopherol nicotinate in the category of vitamin B derivatives, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate (VC-IP), tetrahexyldecanoate ascorbyl ester (THD) VC ethyl ether in the category of vitamin C derivatives, and tocopherol retinoate and tocopherol nicotinate in the category of vitamin E derivatives.
3.Chinese vitamins export to the world - reaching new heights
At present, the vitamin supply chain in the international market has experienced large fluctuations, which has brought new opportunities for Chinese vitamins in the global market layout. At the same time, with the increasing demand for vitamins in the beauty industry, the international market has gradually become a new blue ocean for Chinese vitamin exports.
With the sentiment of "China Vitamins", Keqin Laboratory not only fills the scarcity of the domestic functional skin care market in the field of vitamin derivatives, but also promotes Chinese vitamin derivatives to the global market, showing the strength of Chinese raw material companies on the international stage with high quality and technological innovation.
With a complete line of vitamin derivative products, Keqin has taken the lead in establishing the status of "Chinese Vitamins" in the global market. Keqin vitamins are high in purity, high in content, and high in quality, with strong international competitiveness, bringing better choices to global customers. Keqin vitamins, which have established a firm foothold in the international market in the past four years, have been among the top exporters in the country, and their products are sold well in several countries and regions such as Germany, the United States, and Southeast Asia, leading the export of Chinese cosmetic raw materials.
Next, Keqin will continue to adhere to the forefront of raw material research and development, and devote itself to the research and development and production of derivative molecules of "Chinese vitamins" and life substances such as amino acids, leading the research and development of cosmetic actives, pushing the quality of all aspects of products to the extreme, and helping the development of Chinese cosmetics.
