Химические свойства

Pro-xylane is an organic compound with the appearance of a pale yellow to off-white powder or a colourless viscous liquid, stored in a cool dry place, and has been used in experiments related to the basic science of aging.

Использование

Pro-Xylane is a sugar-molecule derived from the beech wood tree utilizing green chemistry. It functions, in vitro, by stimulating the production of proteoglycans, a water-absorbing molecule in human reconstructed skin. Higher levels of proteoglycans within the reconstructed skin’s extracellular matrix correlate to increase skin-elasticity and firmness. In cosmetics, pro-xylane products are frequently incorporated into anti-aging lotions and creams to counterbalance signs of aging (i.e., fine lines and wrinkles).

Механизм действия

Pro-Xylane enters the skin and stimulates the part that produces and builds the extracellular matrix (a gel-like network of proteins and sugars that act as a scaffold and shock absorber between cells) called proteoglycans.These molecules absorb water and make the matrix more gel-like, increasing the firmness of the cells and increasing the firmness of the skin.It can also serve as a highway to guide supplemental molecules (such as growing proteins) to cells.
