Oral beauty products are products that are ingested by mouth to improve the external physiological state of the skin, hair, nails, etc.
1. Common types
1.collagen
Collagen is an important component of human skin, bones, tendons and other tissues.
Oral collagen products are usually extracted from the skin, bones or fish scales of animals
(such as pigs and cows). When the body ingests collagen,
it is broken down into amino acids and small molecular peptides in the gastrointestinal tract,
which can be absorbed by the body and then participate in new collagen synthesis,
which helps to increase the elasticity of the skin and reduce wrinkles. For example, some brands of collagen oral liquid claim to improve dry skin conditions
and make skin more hydrated.
2.Hyaluronic acids
Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronic acid, acts as a moisturizer in the skin. Oral hyaluronic acid products can replenish the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin.
It can make skin look fuller and smoother by increasing the moisture content of the skin. Studies have shown that after oral administration of hyaluronic acid,
it is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, which can improve the dry and rough condition of the skin to a certain extent,
and may also have a certain lubricating effect on joints and other parts.
3.Vitamins
Vitamin C:
It is a powerful antioxidant that promotes collagen synthesis and can fight free radical damage to the skin.
For example, it can reduce skin damage caused by UV exposure and help reduce the formation of dark spots. Vitamin C is added to many oral beauty products,
and by ingesting enough vitamin C, you can lighten the skin and enhance the skin's resistance.
Vitamin E:
Also an antioxidant, it can protect the lipids in the skin from the oxidation of free radicals, and works in synergy with vitamin C to better play the antioxidant effect.
In some beauty capsules, vitamin E and vitamin C are present together to help slow skin aging.
Vitamin A:
plays an important role in the normal growth and differentiation of the skin. It can promote the metabolism of the stratum corneum,
improve the condition of rough skin, and reduce the production of acne. However, excessive intake of vitamin A may have adverse effects on the body,
so you need to pay attention to the dosage when using oral beauty products containing vitamin A.
Coenzyme Q10:
Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is found in the mitochondria of human cells and plays an important role in energy production.
Taking CoQ10 orally can help reduce damage to the skin from oxidative stress responses, and may help improve the skin's antioxidant capacity and reduce the production of wrinkles.
In some anti-aging oral beauty formulas, Coenzyme Q10 is one of the important ingredients.
Glutathione:
It is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine.
It is involved in a variety of physiological processes in the body, including antioxidant and detoxification.
In terms of whitening, glutathione can inhibit the synthesis of melanin and can reduce the melanin that has been formed to a colorless precursor substance. In some whitening oral products, glutathione can lighten and whiten skin by regulating melanin metabolism.
Tranexamic acid (tranexamic acid) :
Originally a blood clotting agent, it was later found to have whitening properties. Transom acid can inhibit the activity of melanocytes and reduce the production of melanin. Clinically, it is often used to treat pigmented skin diseases such as melasma. In oral beauty products, the use of transom acid requires attention to dose and safety, because it may have a certain impact on the body's clotting function.
2. Market status and consumer demand

Compared to topical beauty products, oral beauty products are believed to solve problems such as skin from the inside,
with more comprehensive and long-lasting results. Moreover, modern consumers are more health-conscious and natural ingredients conscious,
