Oxyresveratrol skin lightening agents (Mulberry extract)
- Tyrosinase is the exact enzyme in command of coloring of skin, hair, eyes in humans, animals as well as for the browning of vegetables and fruits.
- OxyresvenoxTM (Oxyresveratrol) uncovers potential usages for being an anti-tyrosinase, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory component. Reflecting skin lightening, de-pigmentation and anti-inflammatory potential it might also be applied to cosmetic formulations by being an anti-aging ingredient.
- Oxyresveratrol, an analog of resveratrol, has long been demonstrated in experiments to possess the most significant lightening effect (https://herbnutritionals.com/oxyresveratrol).
- Peniel Sciences is working on new formulation of oxyresveratrol to preserve its superoxide scavenging effect and hepatoprotective effects for its antioxidant properties. Current formulations and products in the market has tendency to turn into brown and dark upon exposure to air. This results in the loss of activity.
- Peniel Sciences is also developing new conjugates and variants of oxyresveratrole with better tyrosinase activity and stability.
- Provisional Patent application is being filed – USPTO office.
- Benefits – Antioxidant, Anti-aging support, Skin lightening support, Antimicrobial support.
- Two separate scientific studies confirmed oxyresveratrol’s skin whitening strength:
Tyrosinase inhibitors (skin whitening agents)
- The molecular mechanism of these skin lightening agents are to reduce the melanin, which is the main source of skin color and Peniel Sciences is filing Provisional Patent Application on some of these Tyrosinase Inhibitors molecules.
- It is estimated approximately 15% of the world population invest in skin whitening agents with Asia is being dominated; According to the SIRONA biochem report, approximately $13 billion spent on skin care products and cosmetics in Asia Pacific’s. In India alone, it is estimated that $432 million was spent in 2010 on skin lightening creams and skin care agents. A recent survey showed that 80% of Indian men use fairness creams and the number of consumer’s are growing 18% annually (http://www.sironabiochem.com/products/skinlightening/) [Google Scholar].
- Global industry analysts (GIA) have predicted that the universal market for skin lighteners will reach $23 billion by 2020, driven by new markets in Asia, particularly India, Japan and China (http://cosmetics.specialchem.com/news/industry-news/skin-lightening-products-market-to-reach-usd23-bn-by-2020-global-industry-analysts) (Published on 2015-02-16) [Google Scholar].
Toxic haze combating natural face mask
What is toxic haze and what does it contain?
- Atmospheric aerosol particles – also known as atmospheric particulate matter, particulate matter (PM), particulates, or suspended particulate matter (SPM) – are microscopic solid or liquid matter suspended in the atmosphere of Earth.
- Subtypes of atmospheric particles include suspended particulate matter (SPM), thoracic and respirable particles,[5] inhalable coarse particles, which are coarse particles with a diameter between 2.5 and 10 micrometers (μm) (PM10),[6] fine particles with a diameter of 2.5 μm or less[6] (PM2.5),[7] ultrafine particles, and soot.
- Parts of China, India, Thailand, South Korea, and Hong Kong are all enduring dangerous levels of air pollution in the form of thick smog.
- PM 2.5 air pollutants are 30 times thinner than a human hair and can enter the lungs and even the human blood stream when inhaled, causing major health problems.
- These fine particles pose an exceptional threat to human health because they are small enough to enter the body by penetrating the lungs.
- Peniel Sciences is developing a natural face mask that can protect common men and women, working professionals and young children from such toxic haze blanketing over our city – Provisional Patent Application is being filed with USPTO.
- Hardly noticeable if you are wearing a mask but still provide adequate protection with special patented design.
- The Global Sheet Face Mask Market size is expected to reach $1.4 billion by 2024, rising at a market growth of 13.3% CAGR during the forecast period.
- Sheet masks have now gained popularity on a global level. The masks are filled with highly beneficial ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid and vitamins.
- Based on the Fabric type, the Sheet Face Mask market is segmented into Non-woven fiber, Cottons, Hydrogel, Bio-cellulose, and Other Fabric Type.
