Sialic Acid, often called N-acetylneuraminic acid (or NANA), purity not less than 98%, extracted from bird's nest.

Innovation of sialic acid from bird's nest, Boost Hyaluron, increase collagen, reduce wrinkles, better than retinol, reveal youthful, bouncy, moist skin.

Sialic Acid is found in normal human cells and has important functions.

Research has found that Sialic Acid has the following efficiencies:

Whitening: From the test, it was found that Sialic Acid can inhibit the process of melanin production very well, with an IC50 value of 0.10mM (IC50: the minimum concentration that can inhibit melanin production by 50%). In addition, the process of inhibiting melanin production is non-compeititive, making it possible to use it together with other groups of whitening agents.

Further explanation on the process of inhibiting melanin production: The process of inhibiting melanin production is divided into competitive inhibition and non-competitive inhibition. Competitive inhibition is the binding to the enzyme tyrosinase to inhibit the process of the enzyme, preventing melanin production. Non-competitive inhibition is the working without binding to the enzyme.

In addition to its whitening effect, Bird's Nest Extract (Sialic Acid) also has wound healing effect, stimulates skin hyaluronan synthesis, stimulates collagen synthesis. Please see attached document to check more research results about anti-aging, wound healing, anti-inflammatory.

Performance summary:

Functions

• Hyaluronic acid booster under the skin (HA Booster) increases the amount of CD44, which is a hyaluronic acid receptor in the skin.

• Stimulates collagen production (Collagen Booster) promotes the production of pre-collagen type 1.

• Reduces wrinkles (Anti-wrinkle) inhibits the enzyme MMP-1 that destroys collagen.

• Protects skin from the environment (Skin Protectant) helps strengthen the skin's defenses.

• Provides deep moisture (Humectant), increases skin moisture.

• Antioxidants help slow down skin deterioration.

Benefits
