5'-CMP (NIKKOL)

High-purity nucleotide.

Mini-RNA for Advanced Skin Resilience

It is a high-purity nucleotide obtained from yeast RNA through a selective enzymatic process developed by Yamasa Corporation. The active ingredient was developed based on the “Mini-RNA” concept, inspired by the biology of breast milk, where 5’-CMP is the most abundant nucleotide, acting to strengthen and regenerate the skin.

5’-CMP participates in the synthesis of phospholipids and ceramides, contributing to the strengthening and organization of the skin barrier. Its action stimulates the production of structural lipids essential for maintaining skin integrity, promoting greater cellular cohesion, skin resilience, and reduced water loss.

Composition

INCI NAME: Disodium Cytidine-5'-phosphate

INCI NAME: Citidina-5'-fosfato dissódico

The active ingredient acts as a biological signal for the synthesis of phospholipids, sphingomyelins, and long-chain ceramides with a chain length greater than C22. These high-quality lipids help strengthen the skin barrier and promote immediate and long-lasting hydration—important characteristics for healthy, resilient skin with improved structural quality.

  • Helps strengthen the skin barrier.
