ELIZAYAM MUCIN
* PRODUCT NAME:
• ELIZAYAM MUCIN
* INCI NAME:
• Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol
* PACKING SIZE:
• 5kg/10kg/20kg
* ORIGIN:
• KOREA
* INTRODUCTION:
• ElizaYam Mucin is an extract derived from the mucilage of Japanese yam.
• Mucin can be classified into two types: animal-derived (snail, eel) and plant-derived (lotus root, okra), among which Japanese yam contains the highest mucin content.
• ElizaYam Mucin is non-irritating and has a composition similar to snail mucin.
• Certified Vegan.
* KEY ACTIVES:
• Mucin: Forms a natural moisturizing film and helps retain skin moisture.
• Dioscorin:Enhances skin elasticity and provides nutrients to skin cells.
• Allantoin:Anti-irritant, effectively soothes the skin.
* MARKETING POINT:
• Contains the highest mucin content among plant-derived ingredients.
• Rich in amino acids and minerals.
• Efficacy evaluated through In-vitro and Ex-vivo studies.
• Recommended usage level: from 3%.
* EFFICACY:
1. Anti-irritation effect of Allantoin
• Due to its structure rich in hydrogen atoms, allantoin in ElizaYam Mucin exhibits excellent moisturizing properties by enhancing the skin’s water-retention capacity.
=> Elizayam Mucin demonstrates effective anti-irritation benefits.
2. Moisturizing Effect (In Vitro)
Evaluation of Aquaporin-3 (AQP-3) expression
• Aquaporin (AQP) are proteins that play a crucial role in maintaining skin moisture balance.
A deficiency of AQP-3 leads to dry skin and impaired skin barrier function.
=> ElizaYam Mucin shows outstanding moisturizing efficacy by significantly increasing AQP-3 expression at a concentration of 100 µg/ml.
3. Moisturizing Effect (Ex Vivo)
Filaggrin is degraded into natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) that help maintain skin hydration and protect the skin against UV damage.
ElizaYam Mucin ncreases AQP-3 expression compared to the control group, regulating water transport between epidermal cells.
ElizaYam Mucin also increases the expression of Filaggrin and natural moisturizing factors compared to the control group.
=> Research results indicate that ElizaYam Mucin effectively enhances skin hydration.
4. Elasticity Improvement (Ex Vivo)
Evaluation of Elastin expression
Elastin is a highly elastic protein in connective tissue, helping the skin maintain elasticity by allowing it to return to its original shape after stretching or contracting.
A 2% ElizaYam Mucin sample was tested to evaluate Elastin expression in dermal fibroblasts.
=> The results demonstrate that ElizaYam Mucin can enhance skin elasticity by increasing Elastin expression compared to the control group.
* CONCLUSION:
ElizaYam Mucin is a next-generation plant-derived mucin active, extracted from Japanese yam, safe, non-irritating, and Vegan-certified. With proven moisturizing, soothing, and elasticity-enhancing effects, supported by In-vitro and Ex-vivo studies (AQP-3, Filaggrin, Elastin), ElizaYam Mucin delivers long-lasting recovery benefits comparable to animal-derived mucin while being more skin-friendly and aligned with clean & green cosmetic trends. It is an ideal ingredient for moisturizing, soothing, and skin-repair formulations, especially suitable for vegan products and sensitive skin.
