1) Apple Mint Extract

On September 3, 2024, Mibelle Biochemistry, a cosmetic raw material supplier, launched a new oral beauty raw material - MintyBright™ Nu.

The raw material is apple mint extract, which comes from apple mint leaves. It is rich in flavonoids and has outstanding performance in scavenging free radicals.

It is worth mentioning that Mibelle Biochemistry has conducted clinical research on this raw material and carried out a placebo-controlled trial on 99 adult women. 99 women took 150 mg of MintyBright™ Nu every day for 12 weeks, and finally found that there were positive performances on multiple skin parameters, including skin brightness, uniformity, etc.

2) Red Wine Polyphenol Extract

In October, Japan's Suntory launched an oral beauty ingredient - red wine polyphenol extract. This raw material is a reuse of by-products in the production process of red wine, that is, the grape skins and grape seeds that are not needed in the production process of red wine are extracted and purified, and finally a red wine polyphenol extract containing highly polymerized polyphenols is obtained. Suntory has been focusing on the field of polyphenols for 30 years. The red wine polyphenol extract developed this time is also a niche in the polyphenol category. It can be used in health foods, skin care products, beverages, functional foods, etc.

3) Postbiotics

In addition to plant extracts, postbiotics are also gradually entering the field of oral beauty. In February this year, Kerry launched a new rice-derived postbiotic ingredient, Plenibiotic (Lactobacillus casei subspecies 327), which focuses on intestinal health and skin health. This raw material is supported by 4 clinical studies, and its mechanism of action relies on the "skin-intestinal axis", with good stability and shelf life. The effective dose for skin health is 100 mg.

4) Upgraded Collagen Peptide

While constantly exploring new products, some companies are also continuously upgrading mainstream oral beauty ingredients. Glanbia Nutritionals has launched a collagen tripeptide ingredient called Collameta, which focuses on high absorption speed and efficacy. The company said that the absorption rate of Collameta is 4 times that of traditional collagen peptides; the efficacy is 10 times. This raw material has the advantages of small molecular weight and high efficacy, and the dosage used is less, which is one-tenth of the dosage of traditional collagen peptides. Currently, this raw material can be used in dosage forms such as ready-to-drink beverages, powdered beverage mixes, soft candies, tablets, capsules, gels and strip packs.

2. Cutting-edge Research on Oral Beauty Ingredients

As new oral beauty ingredients are introduced, what other cutting-edge oral beauty products are worth paying attention to in scientific research in 2024?

1) Rehmannia Glutinosa Leaf Extract

On May 23 this year, NuLiv Science, a plant nutrition company, released a research result. This study focuses on the safety and effectiveness of Verbasnol, a Rehmannia glutinosa leaf extract, in the direction of women's skin health, especially acne. Participants took one Verbasnol or placebo every day for 56 days. The results showed that there were positive performances on the 28th day; there were significant changes on the 56th day, and 80% of the participants felt it. The study has been published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology.

2) Coriander Seed Oil

Seppic, a manufacturer of nutricosmetic products, has discovered through research that coriander seed oil also has potential in skin health.

A study published in Food and Nutrition Research showed that 60 participants took 200 mg of coriander seed oil per day for 56 days and found that it had a certain protective effect on skin exposure to ultraviolet rays. Not only that, coriander seed oil also has the potential to soothe the skin, especially for scenes such as tingling and itching. From the mechanism of action, coriander seed oil mainly acts on TNF-ɑ and TRPA1 in the blood. At present, the raw material is mainly in the form of oil and powder, which can be used in soft capsules, liquids, chocolate or soft candies.

Therefore, whether from the perspective of regulations or from the perspective of mechanism of action and research findings, the potential of this raw material in the oral beauty market cannot be underestimated.
