L-Ergothioneine for Anti-Aging & Brightening Skin Care Serum Face Cream Cosmetic Raw Material
Product Description
Ergothioneine (EGT) is a naturally occurring, water-soluble amino acid derivative and a potent antioxidant. It is synthesized in nature only by certain fungi (e.g., mushrooms), mycobacteria, and cyanobacteria.
For humans and animals, who cannot produce it themselves, it is an "dietary antioxidant" acquired exclusively through the diet.

Product Function
1.Anti-Aging and Skin Health: This is its primary application in cosmetics. EGT protects skin cells from UV-induced oxidative stress, reduces inflammation, and helps prevent the degradation of collagen and other proteins. This leads to reduced wrinkles, improved skin elasticity, and a more youthful appearance. It is often called a "longevity vitamin" in skincare.
2.Eye Health: It is concentrated in the lens and retina of the eye, helping to protect against oxidative stress that can lead to cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
