Ergothioneine, Elastin Peptide --- Skin Saver

Ergothioneine, Elastin Peptide --- Skin Saver

With the development of the market, functional skin care products emerge in an endless stream, and the market development potential is huge.

Functional skin care products definition: Between ordinary skin care products and dermatological drugs, skin care products that use active ingredients to repair the skin barrier and solve skin problems in a targeted manner, the main effects include hydration, redness, acne, whitening, anti-aging, sunscreen, etc.

Here I would like to share two popular cosmetics and food of the same origin raw materials.

Ergothioneine

1. What is Ergothioneine?

Ergothioneine is a naturally rare amino acid, ergothioneine is a naturally occurring cytoprotectane and antioxidant in the body, which is milder and safer than antioxidants such as vitamin C.

2 Mechanism of action of Ergothioneine

Protects and maintains the biological activity of other antioxidants in cells. Protects cell membranes and mitochondrial membranes from oxidative damage, protects cells and resists UV radiation, among other functions.

It can directly capture free radicals, activate peroxidase, and chelate divalent metal ions (such as copper ions) to promote the scavenging of free radicals and inhibit the pro-oxidation of copper ions.

3. The efficacy of Ergothioneine

Antioxidant

Minimizes the formation of reactive oxygen species, highly effective anti-oxidation, and scavenges free radicals.

Resistance to UV damage In the UV absorption range, ergothioneine has an absorption wavelength similar to that of DNA.

Whitening

Ergothioneine has a good inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity, thereby inhibiting the production of melanin in cells and reducing melanin.

Anti-aging

Lowers or even prevents the glycation of proteins, thereby stopping and improving the appearance of skin wrinkles.

Elastin Peptide

1. What is Elastin Peptide?

Elastin, the main component of elastic fibers, is an insoluble protein that is widely distributed in the connective tissues of the vertebrae. It is mainly distributed in the elastic parts of the body and elastic tissues, ligaments, lung and skin artery walls, and skin, and it plays a role in maintaining elasticity.

2 Mechanism of action of Elastin Peptide

Elastin is a protein that makes up the organs and tissues of our body, and it has elasticity similar to that of rubber. Because of the presence of elastin, our body has elasticity and remains flexible tissue.

3. The efficacy of Elastin Peptide

Improve skin elasticity

Maintain breasts (shape and elasticity)

Improve the elasticity of blood vessels and respond to various demands 

Reduce knee pain (improve ligaments)
