Description
Rice Bran Extract Natural Ferulic Acid, like many natural phenols, is an antioxidant in vitro in the sense that it is
reactive toward free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS and free radicals are implicated in DNA
damage, cancer, accelerated cell aging. Animal studies and in vitro studies suggest that ferulic acid may have direct
antitumor activity against breast cancer and liver cancer. Ferulic acid may have pro-apoptotic effects in cancer cells,
thereby leading to their destruction. Ferulic acid may be effective at preventing cancer induced by exposure to the
carcinogenic compounds benzopyrene and 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide.Note that these are not randomized controlled
trials done with human participants, and therefore, the results of these studies may not be directly applicable to
human use.
If added to a topical preparation of ascorbic acid and vitamin E, Rice Bran Extract 98% Natural Ferulic Acid may
reduce oxidative stress and formation of thymine dimers in skin.There is also a small amount of research showing
oral supplements of ferulic acid can inhibit melanin production in the process of skin whitening.
Application&Function
1.Ferulic acid has strong anti-oxidation and scavenging ability of free radicals. When ferulic acid matches with
vitamin C+E act, it can increase the ability of vitamin C+E to resist the sun from 4 times to 8 times, in order to
further protect the skin from UV rays when exposed to the sun.
2.Whitening effect: ferulic acid has the similar structure with tyrosine that affects melanin activity in the skin, so
it can prevent the formation of melanin in a competitive blocking way and protect the skin from UVB damage in
ultraviolet rays.
3.Ferulic acid is an effective light stabilizer with anti-phototoxic effect and is widely used in sunscreen products;
4.Ferulic acid can form esters with polyhydroxy compounds to improve water solubility, such as glycerin, cyclodextrin
esters, etc., antioxidant and ultraviolet Absorption function remains unchanged...
