Skin beauty ingredient N-Acetylneuraminic Acid

N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Sialic Acid is a marvel of modern science concerning biochemistry. Sialic acid is a broad term taking under its definition any substitute of amino or hydroxy on neuraminic acid, where such substitutions are most commonly N-acetylneuraminic acid. In fact, this sialic acid is found in animal tissues, meaning there is a slight chance for very small amounts to be found also in non-animal tissues, mostly glycoproteins and gangliosides. The sialic acid can thus be substituted by acetyl or hydroxyacetyl as well.N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Sialic Acid is manufactured and processed with great attention to purity and potency, making it highly suitable for use in biomedical and cosmetic applications. 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 N-Acetylneuraminic Acid

1. Intense Hydration: Enhances the skin’s moisture retention capacity by supporting the natural water-binding properties of the skin.
2. Barrier Function Improvement: Strengthens the skin’s lipid barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and protecting against environmental stressors.
3. Anti-Aging Benefits: Promotes cellular repair and regeneration, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
4. Skin Brightening: Helps improve skin radiance and even out skin tone by supporting healthy cell turnover.
5. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Soothes irritated skin and reduces redness, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.

 

N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Mechanism of Action

1. Hydration Support: NANA binds to water molecules, enhancing the skin’s ability to retain moisture and maintain hydration levels.
2. Barrier Reinforcement: Integrates into the skin’s lipid matrix, strengthening the natural barrier and preventing moisture loss.
3. Cellular Communication: Facilitates cell-to-cell signaling, promoting healthy cell turnover and repair processes.
4. Antioxidant Activity: Protects skin cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, preventing premature aging.
5. Inflammation Reduction: Modulates inflammatory pathways, calming irritated skin and reducing redness.

 

N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Advantages & Benefits

1. Natural and Biocompatible: Naturally present in the human body, making it highly compatible with skin and reducing the risk of irritation.
2. Multifunctional: Combines hydration, anti-aging, barrier repair, and soothing properties in a single ingredient.
3. High Efficacy: Delivers visible results in improving skin hydration, elasticity, and radiance.
4. Gentle on Skin: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and mature skin.
5. Versatile: Compatible with a wide range of formulations, including serums, creams, masks, and lotions.
