Chapter 759 755. Nothing is more important
"Okay, okay, make money."
"It's not enough for you to make money from children, you also want to make money from women? And then you want to make money from dogs?"
This Xiao Zhao, what nonsense is he talking about?
Luo Yihang defended himself, "I'm not doing this for myself. We don't have any problem selling the mulberries we grow. Friends from Yanbian County are here. It's obvious that they want to expand the scale of cultivation. It's always good to have another sales channel."
As soon as these words came out.
Director Xi and Professor Fang both became serious.
Especially Director Xi, whose Variety Resource Research Laboratory is also responsible for variety promotion. He knows very well how much consumer power a product can generate by adding special effects, especially special effects related to women.
Take lemon for example.
Is lemon delicious? To be honest, it is not delicious. It is too sour. Eating it is like being tortured. It is very painful and must be processed before it can be swallowed.
However, it has the added effects of promoting collagen production, whitening and brightening skin tone, and anti-oxidation and anti-aging effects.
Lemonade, lemon tea, lemon cake, they are everywhere and have always been popular.
Fresh fruit is available in every supermarket.
Others include blueberries, which are good for the eyes, and grape seeds, which help you sleep.
Of course, these effects must be real and have scientific basis.
You can't do things that tax your IQ.
So, the question now is, can golden mulberry really whiten your skin?
About this question.
Xiao Zhao called the company directly.
Ask people to collect relevant comments about golden mulberry on the Internet, and also collect any content related to whitening in the reviews of online shops.
Twenty minutes later.
The reply came, "Yes, not many, just a dozen or so people said that their skin turned white after eating golden mulberries, and some asked if golden mulberries can make their skin white. I checked several purchase records through the account that made the comments. The common point is that the purchase volume is large and the duration is very long. One account has been placing orders since the day of release, once every three days on average, with three to five servings each time."
That is to say, even if it is effective, it needs to be consumed for a long time.
So, the new question is, what causes it? What ingredients are at work?
Who can answer these two questions?
Director Xi shook his head. He didn’t understand this.
Professor Fang also waved his hand and said he had not studied it.
Xiao Zhao?
forget it.
Luo Yihang suddenly had an idea, "I know who knows best, the dermatology department of the hospital."
A phone call was made to Sui Wa.
"What?" Sui Wa answered the phone very quickly today.
"Something's up, are you busy now?"
"Not busy. The clinic is in the afternoon, and the cases are reviewed in the morning."
"Help me with some work if you're busy. Do you have any acquaintances in the dermatology department who are capable?"
"It's okay to have acquaintances."
"Go find me. I want to ask something."
Luo Yihang and Sui Wa were not polite at all. They were too familiar with each other and there was no need to be polite.
There was a clattering sound on the phone.
Sui Wa stood up directly.
Then there was the door opening and footsteps.
"What's wrong? Do you have a skin disease?"
"Go away and ask about whitening."
"You've gotten tanned. You've finally gotten tanned. I'll give you a prescription containing Angelica dahurica, Atractylodes macrocephala, Chinese angelica, aloe vera, licorice, and Chuanxiong. Drink it for four or five months and I guarantee you'll get your white skin back."
"Go away, it's winter in four or five months..."
This guy is still trying to set a trap.
Don’t you even look at your own “IQ”? Once you’re away from the table, Sui Wa can’t cheat anyone and will only be cheated.
Although Sui Wa’s IQ is average, she is quite efficient in doing things.
I soon found a dermatologist who also had no outpatient clinic.
The dermatologist really understood it. He started by explaining the mechanism of skin darkening.
Genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, medication, malnutrition, staying up late, smoking and drinking, illness, and emotions.
There are so many reasons why people become darker.
Luo Yihang thought about it. Ding Rui was originally quite fair, so genetic factors could definitely be ruled out.
I don't have any other things, I'm healthy, well-nourished, and I have no bad habits except staying up late.
She kept staying up late, but she didn't get darker.
After arriving in Hainan, it must be because of the sun.
"Sun exposure. Ultraviolet rays stimulate the melanocytes in the skin, which is actually the body's protective mechanism. Then the tyrosinase activity in the melanocytes increases, prompting the melanosomes to synthesize melanin. Melanin is oxidized in the melanocytes to form true melanin, which is transferred to the surrounding keratinocytes. Only when the true melanin reaches the stratum corneum will the skin color darken. This is why the skin becomes darker due to sun exposure."
"As for whitening, it is mainly achieved by blocking these stages to delay or accelerate the decomposition of melanin, which is a whitening or brightening effect. These are two different concepts."
"For example, tyrosinase activity inhibitors prevent the formation of melanin; niacinamide blocks the transfer of eumelanin to the stratum corneum; fruit acid reconstructs the epidermis and accelerates the decomposition of melanin; vitamin C hinders oxidation reactions and reduces the formation of eumelanin."
"Of course, the most effective thing is sunscreen, which directly blocks ultraviolet rays."
The dermatologist explained it very clearly.
Kuku records all the information that Xiao Zhao is busy with.
Luo Yihang and others finally understood the reasons for skin darkening and the mechanism of whitening.
So complicated.
There are many ingredients and many links.
Which ingredient in golden mulberry works on which mechanism? Is there any mechanism?
I still don’t know.
Nothing bothers the two masters.
Luo Yihang sent the tested ingredient list of golden mulberry to Sui Wa's mobile phone and asked the dermatologist to help take a look.
After the form is sent.
The dermatologist didn't respond for a long time.
for a long time.
Luo Yihang wanted to ask.
Finally, a sound came from the other side, very slow and small, more like a murmur.
"It's strange. Glucose, sucrose, fructose, and carotene are definitely not a problem if they are high. Malic acid is effective, but the content is too low."
"Minerals, calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper, and zinc are quite abundant, but that's okay."
"Could it be a vitamin, just simple vitamin C? The content is quite high, 22, about the same as a lemon."
At this point, the dermatologist finally spoke in a normal voice, "If there is a whitening effect, I think it is vitamin C that inhibits the oxidation reaction."
"Vitamin C?" Luo Yihang asked in confusion. "Oranges obviously have a higher vitamin content, but only 22, not even as much as cabbage. How can this help whiten your skin?"
Luo Yihang is very familiar with these basic data.
Because every time it is put on the market, it has to be tested, and there are too many to see.
Xiao Zhao's ears pricked up immediately, "You mean lemon? Lemon can really whiten your skin? It's not just an IQ tax."
The dermatologist answered Luo Yihang's question first. "Haha, oranges are high in vitamins, but they can stain your skin. If you eat too much, your skin will turn yellow, which is almost the same as turning it black. The most obvious one is the tangerine. During the Chinese New Year, many children ate oranges and turned into Minions. They thought they were sick and came to the hospital for treatment. We had a lot of patients during that period. In fact, citrus fruits can stain your skin to some extent. Sweet potatoes can also turn yellow. This is because these foods contain a lot of carotene. Thousands or even tens of thousands of micrograms."
"The carotene content in your golden mulberry is not that high, so there is no such risk."
"As for cabbage, it is another mechanism. Most vegetables contain photosensitizers. A large amount of this substance will produce a photosensitivity reaction and may increase skin pigmentation."
"Of course, it would be foolish to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage. Generally speaking, if you don't take a lot at one time and are not exposed to ultraviolet light for a long time, it will not harm the human body."
"But it depends on the person. Some people may turn darker faster."
After the explanation, I answered Xiao Zhao's question, "The photosensitive substances in lemons are mainly in the epidermis, and the amount is very small. This is why it has a certain whitening effect."
"As for coloring, the carotene content of lemons is very low, far less than that of tangerines."
Speaking of it.
The dermatologist suddenly realized, "Wait, where is furanocoumarin in your golden mulberry? Why isn't it there? Did you miss anything in the test?"
"What are furanocoumarins? There shouldn't be any missing. Our laboratory equipment is very advanced."
Luo Yihang is very confident. He can say that in the entire Tianhan, there is no place with more advanced equipment than his.
"Furanocoumarins are light-sensitive substances." The dermatologist replied, "No wonder, no wonder, this makes sense. It doesn't matter what substances are there. What is not there is more important..."
