AZELOGLICINA , the mono-
potassium salt of azelaic acid diglyci-
nate, maintains many of the useful proper-
ties of the parent compound but displays CHEMICAL STRUCTURE:
greater water solubility and improved toxi- cology. When used in creams and lotions at the 5 – 10% level (as received), AZELO-
GLICINA has been shown to be an effective
and mild skin-lightening agent, to control the production of sebum and to confer anti- aging effects through the moisturization and AMITECH, INC.
