Seaweed faces UV far more directly than land plants, so it evolved its own protective compounds. Porphyra 334 is a Mycosporine-like Amino Acid (MAA) that shields seaweed cells from UV-related damage, absorbing strongly in the 310 to 360nm range with a low molecular weight that dissolves readily in water. Anti-inflammatory and cell-migration-supporting effects have been reported in SCI-level journals, making it a marine ingredient of growing interest for skin under environmental stress.

MHY498 helps inhibit tyrosinase, the enzyme that drives melanin production, supporting a brighter, more even tone. Its small molecular size lets it work efficiently within the skin.

Chaperones belong to the Heat Shock Protein (HSP) family. Skin produces more of them in response to stress like heat, cold, and UV, and during wound repair, helping cells maintain stability. As skin ages, proteins can lose their normal shape and function; chaperones help repair or clear these damaged proteins so cells keep working properly. Rice Chaperone isolates HSP from rice through recombinant technology, supporting skin cell stability and elasticity.
