Ferulic acid has been used in the cosmetics industry, pharmaceutical industry for several years. In the past few years, ferulic acid has been added to the essence of the market, and even the big brands have related Add. So what kind of raw material is ferulic acid, what effect does it have to protect skin after all?
Ferulic acid is a kind of phenolic acid widely found in plants in nature. Since ferulic acid is abundant in Angelica, it is mostly extracted from angelica. And the stability is the strongest in Angelica. Accordingly, beautiful skin bound also calls it angelica element.
Ferulic acid, naturally found in fruit seeds, vegetables and nuts, is a powerful natural antioxidant. It stops free radical chain reactions and protects the skin from air pollution and UV damage. Oral administration of ferulic acid in albino mice reduced the incidence of skin canceration, meaning it was effective in preventing cell proliferation during the formation of skin cancer.“Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology” studies have shown that this is due to the strong antioxidant effect of ferulic acid.
Ferulic acid, a small molecule with low water solubility, has been found to have many pharmacological and biological activities. In addition to antioxidant effect, there are anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anticoagulant and other related activities. Therefore in medicine, health care products, skin care products, food additives have found their widest applications。
Ferulic acid, by structural removal of hydrogen atoms to form free radicals, instead forms a stable form with a highly resonant structure, the transfer of unstable electrons to the body to reduce free radical damage to neighboring tissues. Therefore, it has strong antioxidant ability and free radical scavenging ability。
Ferulic acid, with its high safety to human body and excellent free radical scavenging ability, often appears in the components of maintenance products, In particular, anti-oxidation anti – aging maintenance, and whitening maintenance, played a plus effect.
Since cinnamic acid has a low base value, ferulic acid is the same. In terms of stability test, ferulic acid has good stability in buffer solution with pH=2.62~5.10 at room temperature of 25℃. As the environment becomes more alkaline, ferulic acid degrades.
So what role does stable ferulic acid play in the skin?
01 Resistance of melanin
02 Oxidation resistance
Ultraviolet rays in our skin to create a variety of free radicals with electrons, these various free radicals, causing a series of damage to the skin cells, let the skin slowly aging, also known as light aging. Ferulic acid is an awesome ingredient compared to other antioxidant products. Also can resist light aging and eliminate free radicals.
03 Light aging resistance
Ferulic acid, as a powerful antioxidant, can destroy three kinds of free radicals: superoxide, hydroxyl radical and nitric oxide. Therefore, ferulic acid ACTS on skin care products, which can effectively resist ultraviolet rays, resist free radical invasion, prevent skin aging, prevent wrinkles, and keep the skin young.
