Application of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) in Cosmetics http://www.cosmeticrawmaterial.cn/
Super oxide dismutase (SOD) is a kind of metal enzyme, which exists widely in many organisms such as animals, plants and microorganisms.
The mechanism of action is: SOD dismutates superoxide anion free radicals into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, and then converts them into water and oxygen through the action of hydrooxidase (CAT), so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating superoxide anion free radicals.
The antioxidant capacity of SOD is 20 times that of vitamin C and 50 times that of vitamin E, and its specificity and efficiency in removing free radicals are unmatched by other antioxidants, so an important application of SOD is that it can be used as an effective ingredient in cosmetics.
Super oxide dismutase (SOD) is a natural free radical scavenger in the body, which can catalyze the disproportionation reaction of O₂ˉ, thus eliminating the negative effect of O₂ˉ on the body. Because SOD has obvious sunscreen (prevent skin blackening caused by ultraviolet light), anti-aging (as an antioxidant enzyme can prevent skin aging, freckle, anti-wrinkle) and anti-inflammatory (plays a repairing role in inflammation expression, and plays a reducing role in oxidative stress), it is often used as an effective ingredient in cosmetics.
