Tetrahydrocurcumin has a strong activity of inhibiting tyrosinase, so its whitening effect is better than arbutin; it can effectively inhibit the generation of oxygen free radicals and remove the free radicals that have been formed, and has obvious antioxidant effects, such as anti-aging, repair, pigmentation, freckle removal, etc.; this product is widely used in various skin care products for whitening, freckle removal and anti-oxidation, such as creams, lotions and essence products.
It is used as a new type of pharmaceutical raw material and intermediate due to its antioxidant, anti-tumor and anti-atherosclerotic effects; using it as a food additive is another new function of this product.
This product is hydrogenated from curcumin isolated from the rhizome of turmeric (curcuma longa), a plant of the ginger family.
It can also be synthesized by chemical means.
Turmeric root extract Tetrahydrocurcumin is a natural functional whitening raw material. It is beige powder with a slight odor. It can lighten skin pigmentation, protect against ultraviolet radiation, and resist aging. It is mainly used as a functional additive in cosmetics. Tetrahydrocurcumin is the main whitening active ingredient in natural turmeric root extract. It not only has the strongest tyrosinase inhibitory activity, but also has excellent chemical stability. It also has an odorless white powder appearance, thus overcoming the defect of ordinary turmeric extract that is chemically unstable and easily causes skin staining. Ordinary turmeric extract is yellow, has poor chemical stability, and is photosensitivity. Under light, it is easy to react chemically with the skin and stain the skin. Therefore, color is an important indicator to measure the quality of the product. The darker the yellow, the less suitable it is for skin care products. The ideal refined turmeric extract used in whitening cosmetics should be white or milky white. Safety tests of high-purity refined turmeric extracts show that they have no irritation or allergic side effects on human skin, and can safely and effectively play the role of natural whitening, spot removal, yellowing and brightening.
The main functions and effects of Tetrahydrocurcumin Chemicalbook are as follows:
(1) Tetrahydrocurcumin can effectively prevent the progression of various inflammations and skin injuries, and can effectively prevent minor burns and surgical wound scars, skin inflammation and acne scars.
(2) Tetrahydrocurcumin can repair photodamaged skin and effectively fight fine lines, wrinkles, lentigomalignas, pigmentation abnormalities, actinic keratosis, psoriasis and scars.
(3) By inhibiting the process of damaging and irritating the skin, it reverses or reduces skin damage.
(4) Tetrahydrocurcumin is currently the most powerful and effective anti-aging ingredient.
(5) As an antioxidant, Tetrahydrocurcumin can effectively neutralize oxygen free radicals.
(6) Tetrahydrocurcumin combined with other antioxidants, vitamins and minerals can effectively improve the quality of skin damaged by light and hormonal aging.
(7) Curcumin is absorbed and converted into tetrahydrocurcumin by epithelial cells in the human intestine. Tetrahydrocurcumin shows stronger antioxidant activity than curcumin. The above information is edited and compiled by Chemicalbook Tongtong.
