Natural Anti-glycation SolutionUME EXTRACT
(B)-BGContact Form

Why is Anti-Glycation important in Skin Care?

Glycation starts from the reaction of excess blood sugar with skin proteins and ends with production of AGEs (advanced glycation end products). AGEs, as an indicator of cumulative intrinsic aging, are present in the epidermis creating yellowish tones; it can also cross-link with collagen and elastin fibers causing degeneration of these proteins that leads to loss of elasticity.

Botanical Power Works on Glycation Process

To counteract glycation process, we look into Japanese ume fruit (plum), which plays a large role in Japanese cuisine. It is commonly used as liqueur, or it can be pickled for rice balls. UME EXTRACT (B)-BG uses Ume (plum) fruits that are cultivated in the largest producing region in Japan, Wakayama prefecture.
UME EXTRACT (B)-BG works all key steps in glycation process.
