As a natural polymethoxyflavonoid compound, nobiletin is widely used in the cosmetics field due to its significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties.
1. Antioxidant and anti-aging effects
Nobiletin has a strong antioxidant capacity, which can effectively remove free radicals and reduce the damage of oxidative stress to skin cells, thereby delaying skin aging. In cosmetics, nobiletin is often used in anti-aging products such as essences, creams and masks to help reduce wrinkles, brighten skin tone and repair skin damage.
2. Anti-inflammatory and skin soothing
Nobiletin has significant anti-inflammatory properties, which can effectively reduce skin inflammation and soothe skin discomfort. This property makes it widely used in products for the treatment of acne and other skin inflammations. For example, some oil-control cosmetics add nobiletin, which can not only inhibit skin oil secretion, but also reduce inflammation caused by excessive oil secretion.
3. Promote skin repair
Nobiletin can promote the repair and regeneration of skin cells and help damaged skin return to a healthy state. In skin care products, nobiletin is often used in combination with other ingredients (such as turmeric extract, monk fruit extract, etc.) to enhance the repair effect of the product.
4. Oil control and moisturizing
Nobiletin is also widely used in oil-control cosmetics. Studies have shown that nobiletin can effectively inhibit the secretion of skin oil and provide the skin with an immediate and lasting dry and refreshing feeling. At the same time, nobiletin also has a moisturizing effect, which can help the skin retain moisture and maintain the water-oil balance of the skin.
5. Whitening and sun protection
Nobiletin has a certain whitening effect, can inhibit the production of melanin, and reduce spots and dullness. In addition, nobiletin also has the ability to resist ultraviolet damage and can be added to cosmetics as a natural sunscreen ingredient.
Summary
Nobiletin has a wide range of application prospects in the field of cosmetics due to its various pharmacological activities. It can not only provide antioxidant, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects, but also promote skin repair, oil control and moisturizing, and whitening and sun protection. As consumers pay more attention to natural ingredients, the application of nobiletin in cosmetics will become more extensive.
