Vitamin U (a cosmetic composition containing Vitamin U as the active substance for wound healing and wrinkle reduction).
Vitamin U is a natural substance found in vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, etc.) and marine algae. Vitamin U is a derivative of the sulphur-containing α-amino acid (methionine), which possesses excellent anti-inflammatory properties and is effective in protecting cells and improving cellular functions, providing exceptional benefits for skin resilience and the reduction of wrinkles.
ABOUT VITAMIN U
• The cause of wrinkle formation and skin dryness
Skin wrinkles are caused by intrinsic ageing due to physiological factors and extrinsic ageing due to ultraviolet rays (photoageing). The primary reason wrinkles form is dry skin and reduced elasticity. A characteristic of ageing skin is a significantly reduced skin elasticity due to a decrease in collagen and elastic fibres in the dermis. In addition, the skin becomes dry due to reduced sebum secretion and accelerated natural moisturising factor metabolism, and it is for these reasons that wrinkles develop in the skin.
• Basis of the Invention
It is known that vitamin U is a substance effective in treating digestive system ulcers. The composition of the digestive system's mucous membrane is similar to that of the skin. Consequently, vitamin U has been adopted for use in cosmetic formulations, based on the assumption that it may be highly beneficial in treating skin wounds and reducing wrinkles, which in the broader sense may be described as wounds caused by time and UV radiation.
• Origin of Vitamin U
Initially, vitamin U was a well-known substance used to effectively treat digestive system ulcers. The similarity in the composition of the digestive system's mucous membrane was used as a basis for treating stomatitis and skin wounds. Indeed, it has been proven that vitamin U helps improve the condition of skin wounds, as well as reduce wrinkles caused by intrinsic ageing processes and extrinsic ageing due to ultraviolet radiation damage.
• Properties of Vitamin U
A derivative of an essential amino acid, a naturally occurring substance found in vegetables (broccoli, cabbage) and sea algae, containing sulphur, with excellent anti-inflammatory, cell-protective and cell function-enhancing properties. Demonstrates an excellent effect in improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
