Synthetic Ingredients
Thiotaurine
Product Introduction
Thiotaurine is an antioxidant and whitening agent. It can eliminate free radicals produced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and has a protective effect on fibroblast damage caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It can alleviate protein carbonylation, defends against skin surface lipid peroxidation, eliminates free radicals. It shows pollution resistance, anti-inflammatory and anti-glycation properties. It is commonly used in anti-aging products and in cosmetics such as cream, lotion, essence, etc.
After contacting the skin, Thiotaurine will be converted into hypotaurine under the action of heavy metal ions and further metabolized, thereby playing a role in detoxification and anti-oxidation.
Under certain conditions, taurine reacts with oxidized glutathione to regenerate thiotaurine and reduced glutathione, and finally can be converted into taurine cholic acid, which can clear free radicals from various links, resist oxidative damage caused by environmental pressure on cells, inhibit protein carbonylation and inhibit inflammation, and enhance skin barrier function.
Thiotaurine is 2-aminoethane thiosulfonate. It is the biological analog of taurine, which is naturally present in the human body. It has many important biological functions, such as anti-oxidation and osmoregulation.
Potential effects of Thiotaurine:
Signaling Molecule: The body requires signaling molecules to counter changes, such as inflammation. Thiotaurine produces H2S, a gaseous signaling molecule that helps regulate the inflammatory process.
Protein Expression: Thiotaurine also affects protein expression.
Antioxidant Properties: It functions as an antioxidant in various cosmetic products.
Environmental Protection: Our body produces free radicals due to exposure to environmental factors such as radiation, pollution, and other toxic chemicals, which break down collagen and hinder the skin repair process.
Anti-Aging: Antioxidants scavenge these free radicals and reduce visible signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and infections like acne and dark spots.
Skin Enhancement: Antioxidants brighten the skin, stimulate collagen production, and make the skin healthier and more youthful.
Cosmetic Ingredient: Thiotaurine is used in the formulations of skin care products.

Based on a marine amino acid, Thiotaurine creates a protective umbrella for skin microecology to reduce polluaging, or effects of aging due to pollution. Thiotaurine can repair cell damage, inhibit haze-induced oxidation of skin, resist inflammation, and enhance the skin's barrier function. The ingredient may also induce cell death in order to reduce pigment deposition caused by pollution.
Thiotaurine has a strong antioxidant capacity, which can help the skin resist the damage of the external environment and delay skin aging. Thiotaurine can penetrate deep into the skin. It provides lasting moisture nourishment to the skin and keeps the skin moisturized and plump. Thiotaurine can promote the regeneration and repair of skin cells and has a good repair effect on damaged skin; thiotaurine also has the effect of soothing the skin, which can relieve skin discomfort and restore skin to calmness. Thiotaurine can also stabilize cell membranes and prevent cell membranes from being damaged by oxidants, thereby protecting the integrity and function of cells.
Thiotaurine can be used as a moisturizer and antioxidant in some cosmetic products.
