CAS No.:497-30-3

Molecular formula:C9H15N3O2S

Other Name:L-Ergothioneine，2-thio-imidazole,ERGO,EGT

Ergothioneine is a natural super antioxidant and a unique cell physiological protection agent. It has special functions such as scavenging high concentration of free radicals in the human body, preventing ultraviolet radiation damage, whitening, and anti-aging. Adding ergothioneine to skin care products can significantly slow down skin aging, lighten pigmentation, brighten skin, and increase skin elasticity. Therefore, many high-end skin care products use thioneine as an important whitening and anti-aging active ingredient. Ergothioneine has many physiological functions such as scavenging free radicals, whitening, anti-aging, preventing ultraviolet radiation damage, maintaining DNA synthesis and normal cell growth. Especially has the following effects:

Whitening

Ergothioneine is highly protective, non-toxic to cells, and is not easily oxidized. This allows their concentration in certain tissues to reach 7mmol/L and stimulates the natural antioxidant defense system of cells. The research results show that the addition of ergothioneine in cosmetics up to 0.1%-1% can hinder most of the pigment formation and calmness, and whiten the skin.

Anti-oxidation: high-efficiency anti-oxidation, delaying aging Ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant that can reduce or even prevent protein glycation, thereby preventing age-related skin elasticity loss, modifying and improving facial contours, and preventing or improving the appearance of cellulite. Therefore, Estee Lauder Platinum Luxury Pet Almost all series add up to 3% thioneine as the main anti-aging ingredient.

Sun protection

In the ultraviolet absorption range, ergothioneine has an absorption wavelength similar to that of DNA, and can be used as a physiological filter for ultraviolet rays. There have been many documents showing that ergothioneine can avoid the damage caused by ultraviolet radiation to the skin, and it is a very effective sunscreen ingredient.

Anti-inflammatory, anti-acne

Ergothioneine has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in skin cells, particularly in repairing uV-induced skin inflammation. Also, when used in combination with vitamin C, the results are even more dramatic.

Synergy

Ergothioneine can regulate the REDOX reaction in cells and participate in the regulation of intracellular energy. It is a physiological protective agent of cells, with extremely safe and stable biological and pharmacological characteristics. Therefore, adding ergothioneine to the product can not only maintain the stability of other ingredients, but also promote the absorption of active ingredients by cells, which has a good synergistic effect and effectively enhances the efficacy of other ingredients to achieve the effect of 1+1>2. For example, the use of ergothioneine in antioxidant products, not only can itself play a strong antioxidant effect, but also can cooperate with other antioxidants to take effect, strengthen its vitality. High purity ergothioneine is extremely safe and can be used in pregnant women and sensitive muscles. Safety assessment based on clinical data, in accordance with EU and US regulations, has been approved for use in formula foods for pregnant women and infants to protect the health of mothers and babies.
