Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol
Chemical Name: 1,3,6-Hexanetriol-4-(2-hydroxypropyl)-2,2,6-trimethyltetrahydropyran
Molecular Formula: C₁₂H₂₄O₆
Molecular Weight: 264.31
CAS Number: 439685-79-7
Mechanism of Action
- Promote the Synthesis of Extracellular Matrix: It can stimulate fibroblasts and promote the synthesis of extracellular matrix such as collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan. These substances are crucial for maintaining the elasticity, firmness and fullness of the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and making the skin smoother and more elastic.
- Enhance Skin Moisturizing Capacity: It can increase the content of hyaluronic acid in the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a natural moisturizing factor that can absorb and retain a large amount of water, thus improving the skin's moisture level, keeping the skin hydrated and improving problems such as dry and rough skin.
- Antioxidant Effect: It has certain antioxidant properties and can scavenge free radicals in the skin, reducing the damage of free radicals to skin cells, delaying the skin aging process and preventing skin problems caused by oxidative stress, such as pigment spots and dullness.
Application Fields
- Cosmetics Field: It is a common cosmetic raw material and is widely used in various skin care products such as creams, serums and masks. It can effectively improve the texture and appearance of the skin, and has multiple effects such as anti-wrinkle, moisturizing and firming, helping to enhance the overall condition of the skin and delay the appearance of signs of skin aging.
- Pharmaceutical Field: In some medical research, it is found that it has certain effects in promoting wound healing and anti-inflammation, and may have potential application value in skin wound repair and the treatment of certain skin inflammations. However, the related applications are relatively few at present and are still in the stage of research and exploration.
Safety
- Irritation: Under normal circumstances, Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol has little irritation to the skin. At normal use concentrations, most people will not have obvious skin allergies or irritation reactions.
- Safety Assessment: After a large number of safety tests and evaluations, it is considered to be a safe and effective cosmetic raw material. However, for a very small number of people with sensitive skin, it may still be necessary to conduct a local skin test first when using products containing this ingredient to ensure no adverse reactions.
Production Method
- Chemical Synthesis: Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol is generally prepared by chemical synthesis. Using some common organic compounds as raw materials, the target product is finally synthesized through multiple chemical reactions such as addition, condensation and oxidation. The specific synthesis routes and processes may vary depending on the manufacturers, but the reaction conditions and processes need to be strictly controlled to ensure the quality and purity of the product.
