Composition containing guaiyl acetate or its salts for improving skin wrinkles, hydration, elasticity, exfoliation, erythema suppression, or photoaging.

Guaiyl acetate-based cosmetic ingredient for moisturizing, exfoliation, and erythema suppression

This technology utilizes guaiyl acetate, a guaiac wood-derived fragrance component, or its salts as an active ingredient in a composition designed to enhance skin hydration, promote exfoliation, and suppress erythema. The intellectual property rights cover both cosmetic and health functional food compositions.

Prolonged UV exposure triggers reactive oxygen species and inflammatory signaling, activating collagen-degrading enzymes. This leads to cumulative photodamage, including moisture loss, epidermal thickening, and erythema. As topical ingredients have limited dermal penetration, there is growing demand for ingestible materials to manage skin health.

This technology leverages the ability of guaiyl acetate to increase skin moisture content, reduce transepidermal water loss, normalize thickened epidermal layers, and protect the collagen fiber network at the dermal-epidermal junction. It can be used in exfoliating toners, soothing creams, and after-sun products, allowing for formulations that simultaneously treat rough and reddened skin.
