Ten billion a year sold, NMN cosmetics raw materials in the end how fire?

Since the filing of the first NMN cosmetics new raw material in January this year, NMN concept stocks have been popular, causing the stock market to rise for several days, and the market value of related companies has increased by tens of billions.

Recently, another enterprise has applied for NMN new raw materials for the record. What does it mean behind the new raw materials with the same name filed by two enterprises?

How is the NMN of the same name different?

What is the NMN? Its scientific name is "β-nicotinamide mononucleucleotide". According to data, it is a precursor of NAD+ (coenzyme I), which is closely related to energy metabolism, glycolysis, DNA replication and other activities in the human body. NMN can improve the level of NAD+ in the human body, and is considered to be a raw material with anti-aging function.

According to the "technical requirements" published by Kangying Hongberry, the raw material is intended to be used as a skin protectant and moisturizer, and can be used in all kinds of skin cosmetics. The maximum allowable concentration should be less than 10%.

According to the "Technical requirements" submitted by Rafs, the raw material is intended to be used as a skin protectant, moisturizer and antioxidant, and can be used in all types of cosmetics except lip products, oral hygiene products and spray products, with a maximum allowable concentration of ≤3%.

It can be seen from the above that there are certain differences between the two at the application level, and the numerical category of the maximum allowable concentration is quite different. Relevant people show that the concentration of different should be related to the toxicology test, the concentration and process of each production are different, and the need for continuous observation in the monitoring period.

It is reported that although the molecular formula and chemical structure of the two new raw materials are written in different ways, but their CAS number (CAS number is the American Chemical Society under the organization of the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) for each material in the literature assigned a unique identification number), belong to the same raw material, and have entered the monitoring period.

What is the efficacy of NMN?

According to Ai Media Consulting data, NMN has a certain market in China. In 2020, the market size of NMN ingredient health products in China reached 5.06 billion yuan, up 34.87% year-on-year, and is expected to climb to 27.013 billion yuan after 2023 with a growth rate of nearly 70.25%. Virtually NMN in the cosmetics market to do a good job of paving the way.

On the social platform, using "NMN" as the keyword search, there are many entries. For example, in the little red book, there are 10,000 + notes related to "NMN", and the words often attached to them are anti-aging, eye mask, neck mask, air cushion, facial mask, and dextran facial mask. Among them, there are 3,900 + notes related to NMN anti-aging.

While anti-aging is the "most common propaganda" of NMN, NMN products with this "efficacy" have attracted the attention of consumers, and most of them exist in the form of capsules in the field of health care products. In the field of cosmetics, anti-aging is also highly regarded.

The market prospect and efficacy of NMN are still controversial in the industry, which needs to be tested over time. Previously, NMN was hypened as the "medicine of youth" in the field of food and health care to warn the cosmetics industry. Excessive myths are not conducive to the development of new things, which must be based on a large number of scientific and rigorous research.

Since the implementation of the "Regulations on the Management of Cosmetics Registration and Filing Data" and "Regulations on the Management of New Cosmetic Raw Materials Registration and Filing Data" on May 1, 2021, more "cosmetic raw materials" have appeared on the State Food and Drug Administration. To some extent, it shows that the competitiveness of Chinese cosmetics raw materials and technology is gradually increasing.

Domestic raw material enterprises face the tense situation abroad and demand exceeds supply, and the domestic environment encourages technological innovation and promotes the high-quality development of cosmetics industry. Now is undoubtedly the best time to independently grasp the right to speak of raw materials, technology, etc., and to practice internal work to form a synergy.
