01 Anti-Melanin
It has been reported that ferulic acid can inhibit or reduce the proliferation activity of melanocytes. The use of 0.1-0.5% ferulic acid solution can reduce the number of melanocytes from 117±23/mm2 to 39±7/mm2; at the same time, Ah Fuulic acid can also inhibit the activity of tyrosinase. A ferulic acid solution with a concentration of 5mmol/L can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase as high as 86%. Even if the concentration of ferulic acid solution is only 0.5mmol/L, its inhibition rate of tyrosinase activity can reach about 35%.
02 Antioxidant
Studies have shown that ferulic acid is in the antioxidant, it can promote the body to produce glutathione and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), thereby destroying free radicals and reducing UV damage to the skin. The principle is probably that ultraviolet rays will create various electron-carrying free radicals on our skin, and NADP can work with other ingredients to eliminate free radicals that run around.
03 sun protection
There are also reports that ferulic acid can effectively absorb ultraviolet light in the wavelength range of 290-330nm, prevent or reduce the damage of this wavelength of ultraviolet light to the skin, and has the ability to sunscreen.
