ZLEY®Elmtrifun contains Ulmus davidiana root extract, Butylene glycol and water. Anti-aging for skincare with preservative-free. Contains Bakuchiol which 100% plant derived.
Ulmus davidiana var. Japonica is in the family Ulmaceae.In North Korea, South Korea and China, Ulmus davidiana var. japonica has been used as a traditional Chinese Medicine for the treatment in skin inflammation. The plant has been reported to have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Ulmus davidiana root extract is a skincare ingredient derived from the Ulmus davidiana tree.The active factor of the extract is bakuchiol, a monoterpene, with a wide range of pharmacological activities.
According to the studies, bakuchiol has lots of good properties such as anti-inflammation, anti-aging, antioxidation. It also has whitening,brightening, repairing and acne-fighting effect.
In the last few years, there is an increasing amount of researches on Bakuchiol. It attracts lots of people's attention because of the beauty and skincare function.
Properties:
1. Its main active ingredient is Bakuchiol, which is a 100% natural plant source, mild, non-irritating, and has no phototoxicity.
2. All-round anti-aging, Bakuchiol regulates retinic acid receptors and downstream related genes, regulates the transport and binding of retinol, and activates the vitamin A signaling pathway.
3. Anti-inflammatory, inhibit the phosphorylation level of protein kinase involved in the regulation of inflammatory factors and reduce the release of inflammatory mediators.
4. All routine of whitening funtion, inhibiting the production of related mediators that can produce melanin, reduces melanin production.
5. It also has antioxidant, repair, bacteriostatic, and acne-removing effects.
Application:
1. Soluble in alcohol well, add to the system at room temperature and stir evenly.
2. Mainly applied in soothing, anti-sensitive and anti-inflammatory products, such as serum, lotion, cream, mask, etc
Bakuchiol:a natural, plant-derived alternative to retinol
DNA microarray research - In combination with retinoic acid and metabolic genes
①DHRS9 behaves significantly better than retinol: conversion of bakuchiol to vitamin A acid is more efficient.
②N6AMT2 performs worse than retinol：Bakuchiol may decrease the cytotoxicity of vitamin A acid.
③No expression on RARB (retinoic acid receptor beta-1) and RARG (retinoic acid receptor gamma-1): Bakuchiol could not have the side effects of retinol.
④LRAT (lecithin-retinol acyltransferase) performe significantly better than retinol: Lecithinol can increase the availability of endogenous retinol.
