Ellagic acid
Name: Ellagic acid
Feature:
Ellagic acid is a natural polyphenol component widely found in various soft fruits, nuts and other plant tissues. The color reaction between ellagic acid and ferric chloride is blue and yellow when it meets sulfuric acid. As a physiological, natural, non-toxic acid, ellagic acid has the advantages of good water solubility, simple structure, small molecular weight, strong permeability, and can be absorbed by the skin through the stratum corneum, and has the advantages of anti-oxidation to the skin , It has an obvious effect in lightening melanin, so it is used in many skin care products for removing spots and whitening. Among them, Zhimei fully uses ellagic acid.
Ellagic acid has the following applications/functions:
Moisturizing performance is better than glycerin, better antioxidant/anti-aging effect
1. The formation of melanin is based on tyrosine, which is converted into dopa and dopaquinone under the action of tyrosinase, and finally melanin is formed. Ellagic acid has a high affinity for copper in the active site of tyrosinase and can inhibit tyrosinase activity. Ellagic acid can effectively inhibit skin pigmentation caused by ultraviolet rays, thereby making the skin white.
2. Ellagic acid has an anti-aging effect. Studies have shown that ellagic acid and its derivatives can strengthen the dermal-epidermal junction by increasing the ratio of type VII collagen in keratinocytes to fibroblasts, so as to reduce wrinkles, tighten skin, regulate skin texture, and delay The purpose of skin aging. Ellagic acid can effectively promote the regeneration of skin elastic fibers, protect the degradation of elastic fibrin, especially reduce the damage of skin tissues caused by long-term or frequent radiation and ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, and slow down photoaging.
3. Astringency makes cosmetics containing ellagic acid have good adhesion to the skin under waterproof conditions, and can shrink large pores, tighten loose skin, reduce wrinkles, and prevent skin from secreting too much oil. In addition to skin care products, ellagic acid can also be used as an antiperspirant to reduce sweat secretion by astringent sweat glands; or added to hair products to use its astringent effect to prevent scalp oil, hair loss, and dandruff.
