Cosmate®NANA N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (bird's nest acid, sialic acid) - an endogenous anti-aging component of the human body, a key component of glycoproteins on the cell membrane, is an important carrier in the process of information transmission at the cellular level, commonly known as the "cellular antenna".
Cosmate®NANA Sialic acid is the general term for a class of derivatives in which the amino acid or hydroxyl hydrogen in neuraminic acid is substituted, and usually refers to one of the most important members of this class of compounds, N-acetylneuraminic acid. Sialic acid is widely present in animal tissues, and is also distributed in a small amount in other organisms, mainly as a component of glycoproteins and gangliosides. The sialic acid substituent is usually acetyl or hydroxyacetyl, but sialic acid in which the amino group is substituted by methyl, sulfate, or phosphate has also been found.
Cosmate®NANA N-Acetylneuraminic Acid is an important component of normal human tissue, which can eliminate reactive oxygen species produced in the human body and play an antioxidant and protective role. Cosmate®NANA N-Acetylneuraminic Acid has significant antioxidant, firming, and anti wrinkle effects.
N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (NANA), also known as sialic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule found in the human body, particularly in cell membranes and glycoproteins. It plays a critical role in cellular communication, hydration, and protection. In cosmetics, NANA is prized for its ability to enhance skin hydration, improve barrier function, and promote anti-aging effects, making it a valuable ingredient in advanced skincare formulations.
Key Functions
- Intense Hydration: Enhances the skin’s moisture retention capacity by supporting the natural water-binding properties of the skin.
- Barrier Function Improvement: Strengthens the skin’s lipid barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and protecting against environmental stressors.
- Anti-Aging Benefits: Promotes cellular repair and regeneration, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
- Skin Brightening: Helps improve skin radiance and even out skin tone by supporting healthy cell turnover.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Soothes irritated skin and reduces redness, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
Mechanism of Action
- Hydration Support: NANA binds to water molecules, enhancing the skin’s ability to retain moisture and maintain hydration levels.
- Barrier Reinforcement: Integrates into the skin’s lipid matrix, strengthening the natural barrier and preventing moisture loss.
- Cellular Communication: Facilitates cell-to-cell signaling, promoting healthy cell turnover and repair processes.
- Antioxidant Activity: Protects skin cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, preventing premature aging.
- Inflammation Reduction: Modulates inflammatory pathways, calming irritated skin and reducing redness.
Advantages
- Natural and Biocompatible: Naturally present in the human body, making it highly compatible with skin and reducing the risk of irritation.
- Multifunctional: Combines hydration, anti-aging, barrier repair, and soothing properties in a single ingredient.
- High Efficacy: Delivers visible results in improving skin hydration, elasticity, and radiance.
- Gentle on Skin: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and mature skin.
- Versatile: Compatible with a wide range of formulations, including serums, creams, masks, and lotions.
