ACETYL-D GLUCOSAMINE: This chemical has a very good safety record and has been proven to be helpful in treating a number of clinical conditions. The skin or skin cells have been shown to benefit from a number of glucosamine compound-related benefits.
Glucosamine has been demonstrated to accelerate wound healing, enhance skin hydration, and lessen wrinkles by stimulating the manufacture of hyaluronic acid. Additionally, as a tyrosinase activation inhibitor, it prevents the production of melanin and is helpful in the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders.
KOJIC ACID: Kojic acid is a chelation agent produced by several species of fungi, especially Aspergillus oryzae, which has the Japanese common name koji. Kojic acid is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice, for use in the manufacturing of sake, the Japanese rice wine.
Kojic acid is used in health and beauty products to lighten the skin. It may be used to treat skin conditions, such as sun damage, scars, and age spots. The science behind how kojic acid works as a lightening agent involves its effect on melanin production. Melanin is a naturally occurring pigment in the body that gives the eyes, hair, and skin their color. An amino acid called tyrosine is needed to support the production of melanin. Kojic acid works by blocking tyrosine from forming, which then prevents melanin production. Decreased melanin production may have a lightening effect on the skin.
NIACINAMIDE: Niacinamide, also know as nicotinamide, is the water-soluble, active form of vitamin B3. It has been incorporated into many dermatological products including sunscreens and cosmetic products. It may improve acne with it's anti-inflammatory action, and it may increase skin hydration by decreasing water loss through the epidermis (outer layer of the skin). It is used in many anti-aging products because it can improve the pigmentation, blotchiness, and redness of ageing skin.
SIROLIMUS: Sirolimus, also know as Rapamycin, is gaining attention for it's potential anti-aging benefits. Many researchers feel that using sirolimus topically can reduce sunspots, wrinkles, and more. It may also slow aging and human skin.
