Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic ingredient having an anti-wrinkle effect and a cosmetic product containing the cosmetic ingredient. [Background technology]

[0002] The formation of wrinkles associated with aging significantly impacts perceived age. Preventing or improving wrinkle formation is crucial for maintaining a youthful appearance. Furthermore, while shallow wrinkles are formed by epidermal dryness, deep wrinkles are primarily formed by a decrease in extracellular matrix (ECM) such as hyaluronic acid and collagen in the dermis (Non-Patent Literature 1). Therefore, improving the decrease in hyaluronic acid in the dermis is a useful method for preventing or improving the formation of deep wrinkles.

[0003] Therefore, numerous studies have been conducted on cosmetic ingredients that promote hyaluronic acid production in the dermis. However, cosmetic ingredients derived from plant extracts have been unsatisfactory due to the high number of impurities inherent in natural products and the large variation in effectiveness between batches, while cosmetic ingredients derived from synthetic active ingredients have problems with manufacturing costs, stability, and formulation.

[0008] [ka]

[0009] [ka] [In formulas (I) and (II), * indicates the bonding site between a hydrogen atom on a hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, or sulfonyl group and the oxygen atom to which it is bonded.]

[0010] Cosmetic ingredients characterized by the substitution of sugars, polyhydric alcohols or their derivatives, hydroxy acids, unsaturated carboxylic acids, and sulfonic acids with the functional group represented by the above general formula (I) or (II) have superior hyaluronic acid production promoting effects and high long-term stability compared to conventional sugars, polyhydric alcohols or their derivatives, hydroxy acids, unsaturated carboxylic acids, and sulfonic acids.
