The irritation, allergy, pollution and other safety issues of chemical synthesis and animal-derived cosmetics have always been a bottleneck for the development of the cosmetics industry. With the improvement of people's living standards, green and safe cosmetic raw materials have attracted people‘s attention, and plant-based cosmetic raw materials are favored by consumers because of their high recognition, high safety, and strong efficacy. Research and testing have confirmed that Cyanotis Arachnoidea Extract can promote the division and growth of skin dermal cells, promote metabolism, and enhance collagen synthesis. It is therefore used as a natural cosmetic ingredient with the following main effects: skin is rejuvenated, stronger. Cosmetics products choose high-purity ecdysone refined by a special process, usually the hot sale specification is 95% by HPLC, it is a pure white crystalline powder, with a single component, no allergic reaction to the skin, and has strong permeability and absorption ability into the skin.
The reasons for adding Cyanotis Arachnoidea Extract Ecdysterone to cosmetics are as follows
1. Natural plant ingredients, high safety. The oral toxic dose with the mammalian test: 9000mg/(kg body weight), and the injection toxic dose is 6400mg/(kg body weight). For example, a mammal with a bodyweight of 50kg needs to have a one-time oral dose of 450g before toxic side effects will occur.
2. High effectiveness. The minimum dose of its effective effect accounts for 0.2% of the solvent (formula), and in general usage, it can be dissolved in a solvent, which can quickly penetrate deeply into the skin. At present, high-purity Cyanotis Arachnoidea Extract Powder is often used for scar repair.
