Recently, the interest of using enzymes in cosmetics increases. It is not only considering for the technology but also from the market prospects and consumer’s awareness on effective raw materials

The enzyme has been used in laundry detergent for 20 years. It is long-term associated with the strong stain removal capability performance. Its positive response in market can be explained as the performance enhancing cosmetics meet requirements for aging population seeking for younger body.

The skin’s natural shedding process is controlled by the enzymatic. The specific enzyme dissolved to release the cell death of epidermal cells desmosomes. These enzymes in the death of keratinocytes. Swallowed them the active site sulfhydryl groups,Application of biological enzyme in functional cosmetics Articles clear the peptide bond with thio glycolic acid and alanine thiol perm, hair breaking the peptide bond is almost the same. The use of these types of enzymes and their astaxanthin cofactors to help clean the skin surface, it is an opportunity for new product subsidies benefits the skin surface.

The enzyme is very efficient by reducing the entropy between the product and reactive substances play a role in the activation energy to reduce the reaction can quickly occur. When the reaction occurs, the substrate of the ground state energy levels have increased. Followed by enzymatic end of the matter bonded to the sites of action of the enzyme. Coenzyme and cofactor used in cosmetics may represent a way to enhance the skin to help maintain the healthy appearance of the skin enzyme efficacy. These coenzyme and cofactor stability, low molecular weight, and can penetrate the keratinous layer to help the activation of existing enzymes. They are relatively easy to integrate into the formulation of cosmetics, the most important thing is that these raw materials in the overall application, with a very high degree of security.

Glutathione is three peptide hydrogen peroxide radicals glutathione and superoxide dismutase, capture the specifically, this system is the protection of hemoglobin in the blood will not be converted to methemoglobin. Glutathione performed better, he will release a very small amount of hydrogen sulfide gas in solution. Compared to the superoxide dismutase protein bond is actually tasteless, but does not affect the stability of cosmetic formulations. It is worth mentioning is the active site of glutathione superoxide dismutase contains the unusual amino acid selenocysteine. Despite the known selenium toxic, low levels of selenium can be used as the main mineral components.

Using enzymes in cosmetics may be benefit. They can help slowing down obvious aging signs and the harm on epidermis from environment. Unless there is more information about security, stability and existing formula assessment, cosmetic scientists need to continue to explore the various possibilities. Once it shows the existence of benefits, using enzymes in cosmetics may have an impact on quality of people's life.Source:http://www.cosprm.com
