3. Ellagic Acid Benefits

• Whitening and moisturizing

The formation of melanin is caused by tyrosine as a matrix, which is converted into dopamine and dopaquinone by the action of tyrosinase; and finally it forms melanin. Ellagic Acid has a high affinity for tyrosinase active part-copper. It can inhibit tyrosinase’s activity. Experimental tests have found that Ellagic Acid can effectively inhibit skin pigmentation caused by ultraviolet light. It has a great skin-whitening function. Ellagic Acid, as a plant polyphenol, is a natural ingredient with moisturizing effect. It has a moisture absorption effect, because its molecule contains a polyol structure. Also it has hyaluronidase inhibitory activity. Thereby it can achieve its deep moisturizing effect.

• Anti-aging and antioxidant

Studies have shown that Ellagic Acid and its derivatives can increase the ratio of stratum corneum cells and VII collagen in fibroblasts. So it can enhance the condition of the dermis and epidermal junction. As a result, it will exert function of reducing wrinkles, tightening skin, regulating the skin, and delaying the skin-aging. Ellagic Acid can greatly promote the regeneration of skin elastic fibers, and protect elastic fibrin from degradation. Especially it reduces skin tissue damage caused by long-term or frequent radiation and ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. So Ellagic Acid has an excellent anti-oxidation effect.

• Astringency

Ellagic Acid as a plant polyphenol can form a convergence effect with protein, which insures cosmetics containing Ellagic Acid have good adhesion to the skin under waterproof conditions. And it can shrink pores, firm the skin and reduce wrinkles. Moreover it prevents excessive secretion of oil from the skin. Ellagic Acid can also be used as an antiperspirant to reduce sweat secretion by astringing sweat glands. Ellagic Acid can relieve scalp oil and hair loss, and reduce dandruff when added into hair products.
