Product Description
A smooth moisturizing cream with 100% natural origin that melts beauty ingredients freshly. It is made from "O-sake", Japanese rice wine (rice fermented liquor) containing high Ethyl α-d-glucoside (α-EG), and it leads to skin with plumpness. Ethyl α-d-glucoside (α-EG) is a glycoside present in sake, Japanese rice wine. Studies have reported that α-EG suppresses skin roughness after ultraviolet B irradiation, transepidermal water loss, and hepatic function disorder, and has a skin moisturizing effect. Recently, α-EG was found to increase the amount of collagen I at an α-EG concentration of 0.048 μM, and transcript levels of type I collagen genes, COL1A1 and COL1A2, and of a type III collagen gene, COL3A1, at an α-EG concentration of 0.48 μM. These findings supported the possibility that α-EG was involved in the maintenance and improvement of skin homeostasis and moisturizing functions (Bogaki T., et al. Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2017).
