Skin is the largest organ (~15% of the total body weight) and represents overall well-being in humans, especially in aging. The global anti-aging market is around USD 64 billion in 2022, and the market size is projected to reach 121.8 billion by 20301.
The high-profile products on rejuvenating aged skin are mostly associated with collagen-derived formulas. Collagen is often obtained from animal sources (e.g., fish skin), but few plant-based options distribute in market. Therefore, vegans have limited options in skin care products. The plant-based collagen market will grow to USD 12.3 billion by 20322.
Considering the rise of beauty-from-within market, effective botanical ingredients have potential to become alternative anti-aging solutions. The clinical-backed dosages of plant-based materials are 2,500-5,000 mg per day3,4. It is difficult to use these dietary ingredients to develop low-dose product applications.
The novel product Crassocephalum rabens extract, under the trade name RabenWhite®, standardized with the active compound 1,2-di-O-linolenoyl-3-O-β-galactosyl-sn-glycerol (dLGG). Crassocephalum rabens, also called Crassocephalum crepidioides, is a vegetable and herbal plant that used as folk remedy in Taiwan, Vietnam, China, India, and some African countries5. Pharmacological studies have proved that C. rabens possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities, while Greenyn Biotechnology are the first company to demonstrate its commercial application in slowing skin aging.
