There are a wide variety of anti-aging ingredients that help the skin and body fight the aging process through different mechanisms.
Here are some of the main anti-aging ingredients and their mechanisms of action:
一、 Endogenous anti-aging ingredients
NAD+ and its precursors (NMN)
Role: NAD+ is an essential coenzyme component in many life activities, participating in key processes such as energy metabolism and DNA repair. As a precursor of NAD+, NMN can activate longevity protein Sirtuins by increasing the content of NAD+ in the body, thereby regulating metabolism, reducing stress response and delaying aging.
Source: NMN occurs naturally in the human body and can also be obtained through dietary supplements.
二、 Antioxidants
1.Vitamins
Vitamin C: Rich in fruits and vegetables, has a strong antioxidant effect, can clear free radicals, reduce oxidative stress on the skin damage.
Vitamin E: Almonds and nuts are rich in vitamin E, which also has antioxidant properties that protect cell membranes from free radical damage.
2.Bioenzymes
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) : can catalyze the superoxide anion radical disproportionation to produce oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, thereby removing free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative damage.
Coenzyme Q10: plays an important role in energy metabolism, but also has antioxidant effects, helping to reduce oxidative stress.
3.Flavonoids
Proanthocyanidins, tea polyphenols, baicalin, etc. : widely exist in plants, have strong antioxidant properties, can resist the damage of free radicals, and protect cell health.
三、 Moisturizing and repairing ingredients
1.Sodium hyaluronate
Function: It can keep the water content in the skin stratum corneum in a suitable range, reduce the formation of wrinkles, and has the function of repairing damaged skin.
Source: Widely found in skin care products, but also the human skin itself contains ingredients.
2.Ceramide
Function: It is an important part of the skin barrier, which can enhance the function of the skin barrier, prevent water loss, and repair the damaged skin.
四、Natural animal and plant extracts
Chinese medicine extract
Ginseng, Astragalus, gypenosum, antler, ganoderma lucidum, etc. : These Chinese herbal extracts have a variety of bioactive ingredients, which can play an anti-aging role in multiple angles, such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and promote cell regeneration.
Other natural extracts
Sea buckthorn, poria, angelica, pearl, ginkgo biloba and evening primrose, etc., also have significant anti-aging effects, can improve skin quality, delay the aging process.
五、 Other functional raw materials
1.Dipeptide
Function: exists in most skin care products, can promote the synthesis of collagen, increase skin elasticity, reduce the formation of wrinkles.
2.Acetylated hexapeptide (anti-wrinkle peptide)
Function: It is an important physiological regulator of the human body, which can effectively fight against aging and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
In summary, there are a wide variety of anti-aging raw materials, including endogenous anti-aging ingredients, antioxidants, moisturizing and repairing ingredients, natural animal and plant extracts, and other functional raw materials. These ingredients work together through different mechanisms to help the skin and body resist the aging process and maintain a healthy and youthful state.
