Q10 is a coenzyme naturally present in the body, where the letter "Q" refers to the quinone group (C6H4O2) and 10 to the number of isoprenic units in its side chain. Discovered in 1957 by the researcher F. CRANE, it is involved in the mitochondrial respiratory chain as an electron transfer agent in aerobic cell respiration. With age, exposure to the sun, as well as other factors (excessive consumption of alcohol and tobacco, stress, extreme physical activity, taking certain medications, etc.), its content decreases in the skin. In cosmetics, coenzyme Q10 is appreciated for its powerful antioxidant properties by inhibiting the peroxidation of membrane lipids, the oxidation of lipids and proteins in skin cells, as well as by protecting the DNA of keratinocytes from free radicals, known to contribute to the process of chronological aging and photoaging of the skin. It also reduces the production of metalloproteinases responsible for the degradation of collagen and elastin in dermal fibroblasts. In addition, this molecule has lightening and anti-inflammatory properties.
