Intelligent Ergothioneine
Ergothioneine (2-thiohistidine trimethyl inner salt, EGT) is a compound discovered in 1909, found in the highest concentrations in mushrooms. It is a natural antioxidant and cellular protectant with strong anti-photoaging and antioxidant effects. Since 2019, the number of research publications on ergothioneine has surged rapidly.
Chemical name: Thiohistidine trimethyl inner salt
Chemical formula: C₉H₁₅N₃O₂S
Molecular weight: 229.298 g/mol
In 2005, the exclusive transporter for ergothioneine — OCTN1 (encoded by the SLC22A4 gene) — was discovered, representing a specialized “express delivery” system dedicated to ergothioneine transport.
Feature Introduction
Whitening
Ergothioneine is highly protective and non-toxic to cells, and is not easily oxidized, which allows its concentration in certain tissues to reach 7mmol/L and stimulates the natural antioxidant defense system of cells. The research results show that adding 0.1% -1% of ergotamine in cosmetics can hinder the formation and deposition of most pigments, and whiten the skin.
Wrinkle Removal
Ergothioneine is a natural antioxidant that has the ability to reduce or even prevent protein glycation, thereby preventing age-related loss of skin elasticity, modifying and improving facial contours, and preventing or improving the appearance of orange peel lines. Therefore, Est é e Lauder's entire range adds up to 3% ergotamine as the main anti-aging functional ingredient.
Prevent, Reduce Inflammation
Within the ultraviolet absorption range, ergothioneine has an absorption wavelength similar to DNA and can serve as a physiological filter for ultraviolet radiation. Several studies have shown that ergot sulfide is a highly effective sunscreen ingredient as it can prevent damage to the skin from UV radiation.
Research has shown that ergothionein can have anti-inflammatory effects in skin cells, particularly in repairing skin inflammation caused by UV. At the same time, combining with vitamin C will achieve more significant effects.
Synergistic Effect
Ergothioneine can regulate intracellular redox reactions and participate in energy regulation. It is a physiological protective agent for cells and has extremely safe and stable biological and pharmacological properties.
Therefore, adding ergothionein 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, achieving a 1+1>2 effect. For example, using ergothionein in antioxidant products can not only exert strong antioxidant effects on its own, but also synergize with other antioxidants to enhance its vitality. High purity ergotamine is extremely safe and can be used for pregnant women and sensitive muscles. Based on clinical data safety assessment and in accordance with EU and US regulations, it has been approved for use in formula foods for pregnant women and infants to protect the health of mothers and babies.
