ActiBiso™ NAG (Acetyl Glucosamine)

ActiBiso™ NAG (N-Acetyl Glucosamine) is a naturally occurring amino sugar widely used in health supplements and cosmetics. It is a precursor to hyaluronic acid and helps promote skin hydration and repair, offering excellent moisturizing effects. Additionally, N-Acetyl Glucosamine is believed to benefit joint health and is commonly used to alleviate joint pain and improve joint function.

Key advantages and features:

1. High Moisturization: N-Acetyl Glucosamine has excellent transdermal absorption properties, promoting skin hydration and acting as an effective moisturizer.

2. Promotes Hyaluronic Acid Synthesis: It enhances the activity of hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS), facilitating the synthesis and secretion of hyaluronic acid by keratinocytes and fibroblasts, thereby increasing the hyaluronic acid content in the skin.

3. Natural Keratin Regulator: It naturally regulates and maintains the normal metabolism of surface keratinocytes. Unhealthy keratinocyte metabolism causes surface glycoproteins to clump together, making them less likely to shed as small flakes. NAG normalizes the metabolism of glycoproteins on keratinocyte surfaces, promoting their movement to the outer layer.

4. Whitening: N-Acetyl Glucosamine can inhibit the glycosylation of tyrosinase, thus reducing the synthesis of melanin by inhibiting the maturation of tyrosinase. When used in conjunction with niacinamide (which inhibits the transport of melanosomes to keratinocytes), it can reduce localized pigmentation, lighten skin spots, and alleviate UV-induced darkening and uneven skin tone, effectively evening out the complexion.

5. Free Radical Elimination: It reduces free radical damage to the skin, providing anti-wrinkle and anti-aging benefits while enhancing the skin's repair capabilities.
