Noevir Co., Ltd., in collaboration with Kyushu University and Chigan Mai University in Thailand, has discovered that extract of Duabanga (scientific name: Duabanga grandiflora), a tropical leaf, induces the production of type III collagen and as a result improves wrinkles.
A significant improvement in the growth of type III collagen was noted during the study. Thorough research unveiled Eugeniin, a component of tannin, as the core stimulator.
Going forward, the company plans to release anti-wrinkle cosmetics. Noevir is filing patent application for the finding, which will be reported at the 53rd meeting of the Japanese Society of Pharmacognosy from September 29-30.
