Ergothioneine, alias: ergothioneine. The main function of ergothioneine in cosmetics and skin care products is as an antioxidant, whitening and removing freckles. The risk coefficient is 1. It is relatively safe and can be used with confidence. It generally has no effect on pregnant women. Ergothioneine is not acne-causing.
Ergothioneine has coenzyme-like properties and participates in various biochemical activities of the human body. When used externally on the skin, it can increase the activity of cortical cells and has anti-aging effects. Ergothioneine can inhibit the activity of melanocytes and reduce melanin production. It has a synergistic effect when shared with human placenta extract. Ergothioneine has strong antioxidant properties and absorbs ultraviolet D zone, which can increase the skin lightening effect.

Ingredient analysis
Ergothioneine is a rare amino acid first discovered in fungi (the content of ergothioneine in mushrooms is very high). It is a natural antioxidant that directly captures free radicals; activates peroxidase and chelates divalent metals. ions (such as copper ions) to promote the scavenging of free radicals and inhibit the pro-oxidative effect of copper ions; prevent cells from mitochondrial DNA damage induced by ultraviolet rays, inhibit inflammation, protect cells, and prevent photoaging.
Applications of Ergothioneine
Ergothioneine has unique antioxidant and sunscreen functions. If added to skin care products, it can also significantly slow down skin aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, etc. Studies have shown that ergothioneine has a good synergistic whitening and enhanced anti-aging effect when used together with some antioxidants. Moreover, ergothioneine occurs naturally within skin cells, so it does not cause any irritation when used.
