Litchi Seed
Extract
-
Inhibiting Enzyme for degradation of Collagen, Elastin, and Hyaluronic
Acid
|

With the female's increasing
participation in social activities and the aging of society, the
desire for a more beautiful healthy life has been increasing.
However, with age, various signs of aging begin to be observed in the
human body. The skin, which is particularly important for females,
loses elasticity and sags with age.
The skin tissue consists of cells
and intercellular macromolecular aggregates called matrix. The
intercellular matrix is composed of fibrous proteins, such as
collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid and glycoprotein filling the
spaces among these protein.

Hyaluronic Acid is a high
molecular mucopolysaccharide secreted from cells and widely
distributed in tissue. Hyaluronic Acid is involved in the immune
system for biological defense and the control of electrolyte balance,
and major component of the dermal substrate of the skin. A decrease in
Hyaluronic Acid is associated with the aging of the skin, and decrease
in its elasticity and plasticity.
Deep wrinkles form due to a
quantitative decrease and qualitative changes (such as cross-linking
and changes due to active oxygen after UV exposure) of collagen.

Inhibiting
Enzyme for Collagen, Elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid
|
| |
Litchi Seed Extract is expected
to inhibit enzymes for the the degradation of collagen, elastin and
Hyaluronic Acid, inhibiting decreases in collagen, elastin, and
hyaluronic acid, and maintaining the tension and moisture of the skin,
preventing wrinkles.
Litchi Seed Extract also
eliminates active oxygen (super-oxide) and molecular radicals, which
are cause of wrinkles, skin aging, and carcinogenesis, by acting
superoxide dismutatase (SOD), a radical scavenger.

Preventing Tyrosinase and Melanin formation
|
|
|
Dark skin, pigmentation,
and spots are caused by the occurrence of of melanin. Tyrosine
is converted in vivo into dopa by the action of tyrosinase, and
subsequently into dopa quinone, from which oxidation formation, and is
expected to promote whitening. Litchi Seed Extract inhibits
tyrosinase, inhibiting melanin formation, and is expected to promote
whitening.
Collagen is not only
present in the skin, nail, cartilage wear, and rheumatoid arthritis
and preventing and improving osteoarthritis. These disorders more
frequently affect females. Litchi Seed Extract can be a food with
multiple functions including to be beautify effects particularly
females.
