Other name: Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine; Growth-modulating peptide; Kollaren; Liver cell growth factor; Liver growth factor Cu-GHK; Glycyl-histidyl-lysine, monocopper salt

Copper peptides currently stand out as one of the most discussed beauty trends. Peptides, which are naturally occurring amino acids, play a crucial role in stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. These two types of connective tissues are responsible for maintaining smooth and firm skin. While the natural aging process leads to a gradual decline in collagen and elastin levels, certain lifestyle choices, such as smoking and excessive sun exposure, can accelerate this loss.

Medicinal Uses:

• Increased blood flow
• Maintains hair color
• Reduced appearance of wrinkles
• Firmer skin
• Evens skin tone
• Antioxidant effects

Other name: Sericin

Silk amino acid (SAAs), also known as Sericin, is a naturally occurring water-soluble glycoprotein extracted from raw silk. Renowned for its high serine content, it serves as a valuable additive in skin and hair care products, offering exceptional moisture preservation properties. Utilized as a water-based supplement, it forms a protective barrier and imparts a silky texture to lotions, soaps, personal lubricants, as well as hair and skincare items. Produced through the hydrolysis of silk proteins, resulting in smaller peptide chains typically 18 to 19 amino acids long, silk amino acids have a lower molecular weight compared to silk protein powders, providing moisturizing benefits to both skin and hair.

Medicinal Uses:

• Muscle growth and repair
• Contains high levels of antioxidants
• Protect the body from free radical damage
• Help reduce inflammation
• Improve skin health
• Boost the immune system

Other name: phytoestrogens

Derived from plants, isoflavones are compounds primarily present in beans, particularly soybeans, exhibiting a hormone estrogen-like effect. These substances hold potential for mitigating menopausal symptoms and may serve as a preventive measure against osteoporosis in postmenopausal individuals.

Medicinal Uses:

• Breast Cancer
• Diabetes
• High Cholesterol
• High Blood Pressure
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Osteoporosis

Other name: Daidzoside Daidzein 7-glucoside Daidzein-7-glucoside Daidzein 7-O-glucoside daidzein 7-O-beta-D-glucoside

Daidzein effectively modulates the expression of specific genes and transcription factors associated with the proliferation of preadipocytes and the accumulation of fat. Consequently, it emerges as a promising candidate for both preventing and treating obesity, along with addressing its consequential effects on the organism.

Medicinal Uses:

• Menopausal relief
• Osteoporosis
• Blood cholesterol
• Lowering the risk of some hormone-related cancers
• Heart disease

Other name: Coenzyme Q, CoQ, CoQ10, Ubiquinone, Ubiquinone-Q10, Ubidecarenone, or Vitamin Q10.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring compound in the body, predominantly concentrated in the heart, liver, kidney, and pancreas. It plays a crucial role in cellular energy production by synthesizing the antioxidant adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a key player in cellular energy transfer. Additionally, CoQ10 functions as an antioxidant, safeguarding cells from oxidative stress.

Ubiquinol represents the reduced state of CoQ10, while ubiquinone is its oxidized counterpart. The body possesses the ability to interconvert between these two forms. Although both forms coexist in the body, ubiquinol predominates in blood circulation.

Medicinal Uses:

• It may help treat heart failure
• It could help with fertility
• It might help support healthy skin aging
• It could reduce headaches
• It could help with exercise performance
• It may help with diabetes
• It might play a role in cancer prevention
• It may be good for the brain
• It could protect the lungs

Botanical name: Tremella

Other name: Snow Mushroom

Tremella Extract, derived from the fungus plant Tremella, stands as a water-soluble natural cosmetic ingredient. Its primary biological active component is Tremella polysaccharides, featuring polysaccharide molecules abundant in polar groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. These groups have the capacity to create hydrogen bonds with water molecules, effectively retaining a substantial amount of moisture. As a result, Tremella Fuciformis Extract demonstrates excellent moisturizing effects and is recognized as a humectant, often referred to as “plant hyaluronic acid.” Beyond its hydrating properties, Tremella extract also hinders collagenase activity and stimulates the production of specific biochemical components, showcasing skin-activating and anti-wrinkle effects.

Medicinal Uses:

• Tremella extract can improve the detoxification ability of liver, protect liver function.
• Tremella extract is rich in vitamin D, Thus, it can prevent the loss of calcium.
• Tremella are rich in natural plant gum. So, it can dispel face macular and freckles.
• Dietary fiber of tremella can help the gastrointestinal peristalsis, and reduce fat absorption, so as to achieve the effect of weight loss.
• The acidic polysaccharide substance of tremella can enhance the body’s immunity, and strengthen the phagocytosis of white blood cells.

Botanical name: Snail slime

Other name: snail mucus or slime

Snail Mucous Extract serves as an exceptional cosmetic ingredient, offering various benefits such as anti-wrinkle properties, wound healing, and pigmentation reduction. Achatina fulica, commonly known as the African snail, has been extensively researched due to its medical significance. The snail slime derived from Achatina fulica demonstrates healing properties for wounds, scratches, and gingivitis, contributing to effective skincare. In a study, it was found that the mucus from Achatina fulica can accelerate wound healing twice as fast as a normal saline solution. The proteins and glycosaminoglycans present in snail slime play a vital role in essential biological functions.

Medicinal Uses:

• Healing
• Moisturizing
