Lear one skin care ingredient per week-Resveratrol
Resveratrol (RES), also known as piceatannol, is a non-flavonoid polyphenolic compound. It is a plant defense substance produced by plants when they are attacked by pathogenic microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria, or when they encounter adverse conditions such as ultraviolet radiation. Resveratrol is widely present in plants like peanuts, grapes, pineapples, rhubarb, and polygonum cuspidatum, and is a natural antioxidant.
Resveratrol is a non-flavonoid polyphenolic organic compound that possesses anti-aging, antioxidant, and free radical scavenging properties. Slowing down the pace of aging is a goal that we have been constantly striving for. Resveratrol, as an excellent anti-aging cosmetic raw material, has numerous biological activities and is widely used in the cosmetics industry.
The functions of Resveratrol in cosmetic
1.Antioxidant
Resveratrol is a highly potent antioxidant that can effectively eliminate free radicals and delay aging. It can reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals generated due to stress, protecting the body from oxidative damage.
2.Anti-photoaging
Resveratrol can inhibit the increase in MMP-1 levels in human skin fibroblasts caused by UVB irradiation, and reduce the breakdown of collagen in the dermal tissue of the skin. Thus, it can delay the damage and aging process of the skin caused by ultraviolet radiation.
Resveratrol has a certain inhibitory effect on the proliferation of B16 melanoma cells and the tyrosinase within the cells, thereby reducing the synthesis of melanin and achieving the effect of whitening. It has a molecular structure similar to the substances that naturally bind to tyrosinase, and through affinity interaction, it inhibits the activity of tyrosinase.
Resveratrol can inhibit the degradation of collagen by matrix metalloproteinases, promote the generation of collagen, thereby reducing the roughness of the skin and the depth of wrinkles, and achieve its anti-wrinkle cosmetic effect.
5. Skin moisturizing and tightening
The application of resveratrol in cosmetics has demonstrated its moisturizing and skin tightening effects.
