Carnosine (L-Carnosine CAS No.:305-84-0) is related to the "proteins" that make up the human body. It is naturally equivalent and exists in the human body. Therefore, when used as a skin care product, it has the effects of stimulating protein synthesis on New Year's Day, anti-aging and anti-oxidation.
1. Anti-aging Carnosine can stimulate the production of laminin 5, and laminin 5 is an important part of the basement membrane, so it can promote the repair of the barrier function and achieve the anti-aging effect of the dermis. As a biological substance, carnosine exists in high concentrations in muscles and other tissues. It can achieve anti-wrinkle effects by inhibiting protein denaturation and preventing cells from being damaged by environmental stress.
2. Anti-glycation The elimination of glycosyl end-products can also organize the glycosylation reaction to a certain extent due to its antioxidant effect, thereby preventing macromolecular cross-linking and protecting the biological function of cells.
3. Antioxidant Carnosine can capture free oxygen free radicals, and is particularly effective in preventing the oxidation of protein components and the production of reactive oxygen radicals, thereby preventing oxidative damage to the skin, thereby slowing down the production of wrinkles, collagen loss and pigment production.
4. Anti-blue light Blue light penetrates the skin more strongly than ultraviolet rays, and can penetrate the surface layer and dermis of the skin, causing serious damage to mitochondria in epithelial cells. Carnosine has an inhibitory effect on pigmentation caused by visible light.
