Function
1.Ferulic acid has strong anti-oxidation and scavenging ability of free radicals. When ferulic acid matches with vitamin C+E act, it can increase the ability of vitamin C+E to resist the sun from 4 times to 8 times, in order to further protect the skin from UV rays when exposed to the sun.
2.Whitening effect: ferulic acid has the similar structure with tyrosine that affects melanin activity in the skin, so it can prevent the formation of melanin in a competitive blocking way and protect the skin from UVB damage in ultraviolet rays.
3.Ferulic acid is an effective light stabilizer with anti-phototoxic effect and is widely used in sunscreen products;
4.Ferulic acid can form esters with polyhydroxy compounds to improve water solubility, such as glycerin, cyclodextrin esters, etc., antioxidant and ultraviolet Absorption function remains unchanged.
Application
1.Applied in Pharmaceutical field,ferulic acid powder is mainly used to anti-bacteria, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-mutation.
2.Applied in cosmetic field, ferulic acid powder is mainly used as raw materials with the function of anti-oxidationand anti-ultraviolet radiation.
