Ichimaru Pharcos Launches Plantbased Active Ingredients to Target Skin Aging

Cutting-Edge Research and Remarkable Benefits

These natural, plant-based actives, backed by pioneering research and profound effects, are being highly recommended for incorporation into the latest anti-aging cosmetic formulations.

VeganProteoglycan

For those seeking rejuvenation for their facial, eye, and body care routines, VeganProteoglycan is an exceptional skincare ingredient. Developed from the Ghatti tree, Ichimaru's plant-derived proteoglycan offers support for maintaining skin structure by stimulating fibroblast proliferation and collagen production. It has been scientifically demonstrated that VeganProteoglycan effectively increases collagen density in the dermis, reducing wrinkles and enhancing skin texture and reducing age spots.

Notably, VeganProteoglycan clinched the top honor at the prestigious BSB Innovation Award in 2023.

Harnessing traditional herbal wisdom for anti-aging:

- Utilizes plant-based proteoglycan

- Promotes higher collagen density

- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles

HyaluGuard

HyaluGuard, an anti-aging skincare ingredient suited for facial, body, lip care, and makeup applications, serves as a guardian for Hyaluronic Acid (HA). It thwarts the degradation of HA by inhibiting HYBID, an HA-degrading enzyme. By doing so, it boosts skin moisture levels, reduces wrinkles, and prevents skin sagging, all while benefiting from Artemisia capillaris sourced from Japan.

The defender of skin's structural integrity against sagging:

- Safeguards Hyaluronic Acid (HA) from degradation

- Minimizes skin sagging

- Enhances skin's moisture content

MILLTECT

MILLTECT is a remarkable oral care ingredient ideally suited for gel, paste, and liquid toothpaste, as well as mouthwash and spray oral care applications. It has been proven to inhibit biofilm formation (dental plaque), a leading cause of oral infections like dental caries and periodontal diseases. MILLTECT effectively prevents the occurrence of halitosis and pigmentation on tooth surfaces by deterring bacteria adhesion, demonstrating heightened effectiveness when combined with antimicrobial agents like CPC and IPMP. This groundbreaking solution is derived from Codium fragile.

Marine algae's potent defense against oral biofilm formation:

- Inhibits bacterial adhesion to teeth

- Prevents biofilm formation

- Halts bad breath

It's worth noting that these three groundbreaking ingredients have secured approvals from NMPA in China and are also endorsed by COSMOS. Furthermore, VeganProteoglycan and MILLTECT have received Halal certification.
