Ergothioneine Added to cosmetics as a skin protectant
Ergothioneine Ultraviolet UVA in sunlight can penetrate into the dermis layer of human skin, affect the growth of epidermal cells, make surface cells die, and cause premature skin aging, while ultraviolet UVB is more likely to lead to the occurrence of skin cancer. Ergothioneine can minimize the formation of reactive oxygen species and protect cells from radiation damage. Therefore, ergothioneine can be added to certain cosmetics as a skin protectant for the development of outdoor skin care products and protective cosmetics.
