Recombinant antioxidant enzyme (SOD)
Recombinant superoxide dismutase in a stabilizing aqueous suspension for antioxidant and photo-stress cosmetic formulas.*
Suspension stabilizers in the shipped bulk are processing aids and are not declared on the finished-product INCI when the material is used as directed. See SDS for details.
Superoxide Dismutase · CAS 9054-89-1 · ~32 kDa (Cu/Zn dimer; confirm on COA)
Superoxide Dismutase is the first-line enzymatic antioxidant that converts superoxide radicals to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. We ship recombinant SOD in a cold-chain stabilizing suspension for leave-on antioxidant serums and photo-stress support formulas. Cosmetic use only.*
We ship recombinant SOD in a stabilizing aqueous suspension at two strengths - standard 1X (0.032%) for typical cosmetic dilution workflows, or a 5X lab concentrate (0.16%) when you want five times the protein loading in the same pack. The suspension helps protect the active during refrigerated storage and reduce deterioration - see SDS for composition details.*
These attributes are assessments based on the ingredient deck and the supplier information available to us. They are not third-party certifications. If your finished product requires a specific certified status, please reach out and we’ll walk through what we can document.
Every lot is produced to order in our AI-powered robotic factory. Nothing sits on a warehouse shelf going stale - you get a date-of-manufacture-fresh batch every time.

Superoxide Dismutase is the first-line enzymatic antioxidant that converts superoxide radicals to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Cosmetic literature covers topical SOD delivery in human UVB models and reviews of SOD use in antioxidant skincare systems. These are independent, third-party papers we link for formulators evaluating mechanism, tolerability, and published panel data. We did not conduct this research and do not guarantee replication in your finished formula.
In ten volunteers, TAT-SOD applied one hour before UVB raised mean minimal erythema dose by about 37% versus vehicle and reduced sunburn-cell counts after 2-MED exposure. The authors attribute the effect to free-radical scavenging, not physical UV blocking.
Extracellular SOD3 reduced MMP-1 expression and supported extracellular-matrix integrity in fibroblast models, a mechanism relevant to firmness-positioned antioxidant formulas.
Reviews SOD isoforms, mechanisms, and published uses across medicine, food, and cosmetics, including topical antioxidant positioning and delivery challenges for the intact enzyme.

This is the bulk composition as it ships. Updates dynamically when you change the strength above. The active line shows the SOD loading at the selected concentration. Suspension stabilizers in the shipped bulk protect the active during storage and are not declared on the finished-product cosmetic INCI when the protein is reconstituted / diluted into your formula as directed. Full stabilizer identity and concentration are on the SDS.
SDS + TDS are issued per strength. Links swap when you change concentration above. COA is batch-specific and ships with the order.
