As a molecule with anti-aging properties, NMN (β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) has attracted widespread attention in the cosmetics industry in recent years. Its potential role in skin health and the aging process has made it a star ingredient in many skin care products.
According to research in the literature, NMN is a direct precursor of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which plays a key role in cellular energy metabolism, DNA repair, cell aging, and immune cell function. With age, the level of NAD+ in the body gradually decreases, leading to the decline of various physiological functions associated with aging. Therefore, by supplementing NMN to increase NAD+ levels, it is theoretically possible to improve cell function and thus delay skin aging.
In cosmetics, the application of NMN is mainly focused on its anti-aging effect. Studies have shown that NMN can promote cell proliferation and enhance the vitality of skin cells, thereby improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles.
NMN also has antioxidant effects, which can reduce free radical damage to the skin and protect the skin from environmental stress.
In some studies, NMN has also been shown to promote hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and regulating related signaling pathways, which is of great significance for the development of hair care products targeting hair loss problems.
Some studies have shown that NMN is relatively stable in aqueous solution and can be quickly absorbed by the skin. However, how to ensure the stability of NMN in cosmetic formulations and how to improve its permeability and bioavailability in the skin are technical challenges that need to be solved in cosmetic research and development.
In short, as an active ingredient with anti-aging potential, NMN has broad application prospects in the cosmetics industry. With a deeper understanding of the mechanism of action of NMN and the continuous advancement of formulation technology, we may see more skin care and hair care products containing NMN in the future to help consumers improve skin conditions and delay signs of aging.
