Acetyl Glucosamine is composed of acetyl glucosamine, a small amino monosaccharide molecule obtained by bio-fermentation. It has many important physiological functions as a basic component unit of numerous polysaccharides in cells. It possesses excellent transdermal absorption and can improve skin hydration, so it is a unique high-quality moisturizer.

Hyafactor™-NAG has been widely applied in various skin care products. Its recommended dosage is 0.5%-2%.

Benefits

• High-Quality Moisturiser: NAG has excellent transdermal absorption therefore it can improve skin hydration. 

• Promotes HA synthesis: NAG can increase the activity of hyaluronic acid synthase promoting synthesis and secretion of HA by the keratinocytes and fibroblasts. 

• Natural Exfoliating Regulator: NAD maintains and enhances the metabolism of glycoprotein on the surface of keratinocytes making exfoliation of cuticles naturally possible.   

• Skin whitening: NAG can inhibit tyrosinase activity leading to a reduction in melanin synthesis. Combined with Niacinamide, it can reduce pigmentation, fade spots, and reduce uneven complexion caused by UV rays.

• Scavenging Free Radicals: It can reduce oxidative skin damage by scavenging free radicals. Therefore acts as an anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle, and pro-skin repair.
