Botulinum

The name ‘botulinum’ comes from the Latin word ‘Botulus’, which means black sausage.’Botulinum toxin’ is a neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium ‘Clostridium botulinum’ that inhibits the secretion of neurotransmitters. Botulinum toxin’ medicine injection is used to treat neuromuscular disorders using temporary paralysis. It is also widely used commercially for medicines, cosmetics, and research.

DermoToxin

In recent years, ‘DermoToxin’, which injects ‘Botulinum toxin’ medicine directly into the dermal layer of the skin rather than the muscle layer, has become a general procedure for skin improvement in a dermatology hospital.

‘Dermotoxin’ treatment is known to have a effects not only to improve natural facial wrinkles but also to hydration, pore improvement, bright skin tone, elasticity and lifting compared to general intramuscular injection. It is known as a disadvantage that the pain from injection procedure due to the large number on sites and relatively short duration of efficacy.

SNAP25 Cleavage Diagram

Recombinant GST-SNAP25-EGFP is purified in order to review activation of ‘Methionyl r-Clostridium Botulinum Polypeptide-1 Hexapeptide-40’ protein. Since wild type Botulinum Toxin Light Chain cleaves an C-terminal part of SNAP25, GST & EGFP are recombined with 25kDa size on each N-terminal and C-terminal, and purified in order to authentically confirm cleavage form. 75kDa GST-SNAP25-EGFP is cleaved into 50kDa and 25kDa proteins by ‘Methionyl r-Clostridium Botulinum Polypeptide-1 Hexapeptide-40’.

REGISTRAION STATUS

ICID

“Methionyl r-Clostridium Botulinum Polypeptide-1 Hexapeptide-40 ” was registered on the International Cosmetics Ingredient Dictionary in December 2014. This can be found on page 2096 of the ICID 2016 Vol.2. The INCI name “Methionyl r-Clostridium Botulinum Polypeptide-1 Hexapeptide-40” is not defined by the applicant company. This is the name assigned by the PCPC who organizes ICID in Washington and global cosmetic companies for classification of the ingredient. ‘Clostridium Botulinum’ designation on INCI name proves that the material actually derived from ‘Botulinum Toxin ‘.

However, the name ‘Clostridium Botulinum’ is not only important. Botulinum toxin light chain’ alone can not can not penetrate nerve cells even it penetrated in to the skin, so it can not be effective. The core technology of MTD which realizes infiltration into the skin and infiltration of nerve cells has been applied, and botulinum-derived ingredient that we have dreamed of has been born. The ingredient has name ‘Clostridium Botulinum’ can be developed but the technology and efficacy can not be imitated.

2. Salmon extract DNA

BENEFITS AND MECHANISMS:

  1. Improving microcirculation via process called angiogenesis. PDRN causes increased expression of a growth factor called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) needed for the growth of blood vessels. Blood vessels are the highway for oxygen and nutrients for cells to grow and repair.
  2. Anti-inflammatory effects on tissues. Inflammation generates free radicals which damages the cells. If these damaged cells are unable to repair themselves, the cells will be removed via apoptosis, our body’s natural repair system. Through multiple mechanisms and cytokines, PDRN has been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect and even reduce scar formation.
  3. Improves skin texture and elasticity. Collagen synthesis is enhanced by fibroblast activation. This also results in treatment of fine lines in the skin.
  4. Tissue repair and wound healing. PDRN salvages DNA and RNA fragments from damaged cells to incorporate them into new DNA for normal cell proliferation and recovery .
  5. Protection from UV damage- UV rays from the sun cause damage to our DNA and this accelerates signs of aging. PDRN has been shown to enhance DNA repair and clearance of toxic by-products of UV-damaged cells .

WHY SALMON IS SAFE?

The PDRN/DNA is derived from Salmon germ cells (that’s science speak for Salmon sperm cells).
The PDRN/DNA is then subjected to a very rigorous purification process that removes any antigens or proteins that might cause immune or biocompatibility reactions. Salmon DNA is very similar to human DNA. As alluded to above, the rigorous purification that the salmon cells are subjected to removes any proteins that may cause immune reactions.

3. Tranexamic acid

The basic chemical structure is trans-4 aminomethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (trans-AMCHA). It inhibits the plasminogen activator by reversibly blocking the lysine binding sites on both plasminogen and plasmin, a molecule responsible for degradation of fibrin. Plasmin is also known to play a role in activation of complement, neutrophils and monocytes and its inhibition thus may also have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Studies have found that it can inhibit UV- induced melanin synthesis by “blocking the interaction between keratinocytes [aka skin cells] and melanocytes [aka, melanin-producing cells],
