J-Premier Extract 31

Natural ingredients made using sake and fermentation techniques

Fermented rice liquid...high in α-EG, a skin-beautifying ingredient found in sake

Fermented sake lees extract: High in amino acids due to two-stage fermentation

⬇︎

The power of two materials
Increased moisturizing power, firmness and elasticity

  • Material features
    High in skin-beautifying ingredients α-EG* and amino acids
    It is a natural cosmetic ingredient.
    *Contains 2 to 5 times more α-EG than regular sake
  • Advantages
    Increases skin's moisturizing ability.
    Gives skin firmness and elasticity.

●The power of rice fermentation liquid 
High content of skin-beautifying ingredient α-EG
Sake has been known for its skin-beautifying effects since ancient times. The main ingredient that has been attracting attention for its skin-beautifying effects is
This is α-EG.
At Ozeki, α-EG promotes collagen production and inhibits its breakdown, promotes elastin production,
We found that it has effects such as promoting cell proliferation.
JP31 contains 2 to 5 times more α-EG than sake.

In recent years, it has been reported that drinking α-EG increases collagen density, making it an ingredient that is attracting increasing attention.

● Two-stage fermentation of sake lees ~ Increased amino acids ~
Sake lees are rich in amino acids derived from rice, koji, and yeast. Ozeki has developed a technology to increase the amino acid content by fermenting sake lees again with yeast.


Beautiful skin care program

Collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid play important roles in maintaining the moisture, firmness, and elasticity of the dermis. Aquaporins are involved in water absorption. When these are reduced, it can cause skin problems such as wrinkles and sagging.

moisture
hyaluronic acid
Found in the gaps between collagen and elastin tissues, it is a jelly-like mucopolysaccharide with excellent water retention properties.
aquaporins
A protein involved in the uptake of water into cells.
It plays an important role in keeping the skin moisturized.
Firmness / Resilience
collagen
It is made up of fibrous proteins woven into a mesh-like structure.
Elastin
Binds collagen knots. Elastic fibers.
線維芽細胞
Produces the substances listed above that keep your skin healthy.

Increased moisturizing power

Promotes hyaluronic acid and aquaporin production
[in vitro]

  • The expression of the HAS2 gene, which is involved in hyaluronic acid synthesis, and the AQP3 gene, which is involved in aquaporin synthesis, increased.
  • The amount of hyaluronic acid produced by fibroblasts increased.

Increased skin firmness and elasticity

  • The expression of ELN genes involved in elastin production was increased.
  • The expression of COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes involved in type I collagen synthesis was increased.
  • The expression of the MMP1 gene, which is involved in the breakdown of collagen, was suppressed.
  • Increased production of type I collagen from fibroblasts.
