Intro
αG RUTIN PS-S – A Next-Generation Water-Soluble Bioflavonoid for Advanced Skincare
Rutin is a naturally occurring bioflavonoid found in a wide variety of fruits such as apricots, berries, cherries, and citrus, as well as in vegetables, azuki beans, and herbal teas including green and black tea. Among its many natural sources, buckwheat (a traditional food in Japan) is recognized as the richest. Known for its powerful antioxidant properties, rutin has long been praised for its ability to enhance skin radiance, support microcirculation, and prevent oxidative stress, contributing to a youthful and healthy complexion.
Despite its remarkable potential, rutin’s poor solubility in water-based formulations has historically limited its application in skincare products. That changed with the development of αG Rutin™ PS-S, a revolutionary, water-soluble form of rutin produced through proprietary enzymatic glycosylation technology.
Key Benefits of αG Rutin™ PS-S
High Water Solubility & Bioavailability
αG RUTIN PS-S is a highly water-soluble, stable, and odorless derivative of rutin that can be seamlessly incorporated into a wide range of cosmetic and personal care products. Its improved solubility significantly enhances its bioavailability, making it clinically more effective across skin types and age groups.
Enhanced Photostability
Unlike most natural pigments that degrade under UV exposure, αG RUTIN PS-S offers superior stability against UVA, UVB, and blue light, protecting formulations from discoloration and enhancing long-term product performance. It helps maintain color integrity in pigmented cosmetics and boosts UV-protective effects in sun care products.
Skin Protection, Repair & Anti-Aging
UV radiation accelerates skin aging by damaging DNA, degrading collagen, and impairing fibroblast function. αG RUTIN PS-S counters these effects by protecting against photoaging, repairing UV-induced damage, and supporting collagen production, leading to visibly smoother, firmer, and more resilient skin.
Inhibition of AGE Formation (Anti-Glycation)
Skin aging is also driven by glycation, a chemical reaction where sugars bind to proteins, forming Advanced Glycation End-Products (AGEs). These lead to collagen stiffening, loss of elasticity, and wrinkles. αG RUTIN PS-S effectively inhibits AGE formation, offering an advanced solution to delay visible signs of aging at the molecular level.
Preservation of Collagen Structure
With its dual action as a potent antioxidant and UV absorber, αG RUTIN PS-S helps protect both the epidermis and dermis from structural collagen degradation. It minimizes cross-linking of collagen fibrils caused by oxidative stress and UV damage, supporting long-term skin firmness and elasticity.
Ideal Applications
● Anti-aging creams & serums
● Skin brightening & tone-correcting products
● UV protection & after-sun care
