Scientific Research

A study conducted showed that radiating rice beads has active ingredients such as Ceramides that work to increase collagen in the skin to keep the skin firm and young. In addition, bedak sejuk also has Lactic Acid, Ferulic Acid, and Benzoic Acid which are commonly found in cosmetic products.

Ceramide (FATTY):

• Ceramides hold skin cells firmly together in the uppermost skin layer. This not only keeps the fluid in the skin but also protects it from allergens and external aggressors. Ceramides are not only important for a healthy appearance, but also for healthy functioning skin.

Lactic Acid (AHA):

• Lactic acid brightens dullness, smooths, and evens skin, while also making it look firmer. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. How does it work exactly? It exfoliates by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells to reveal a more radiant complexion.

Benzoic Acid (BHA):

• The use of benzoic acid in skin care can effectively reduce the number of acne-causing bacteria. It is also formulated with natural ingredients such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid to treat acne and prevent future outbreaks.

Ferulic Acid (ORGANIC):

• When added to skincare containing vitamins C and E, it doubles its antioxidant protection. In this study, antioxidant benefits were raised from 4 times to 8 times. In real life, results are visible as – fine lines reduction, wrinkle reduction, skin tone evening, and more.

Glutamic Acid (AMINO):

• Amino acids are gaining popularity for their skin benefits and safety. You can use amino acids for skin rejuvenation and hydration. They are scientifically proven to be effective in solving skincare woes. Amino acids help restore cracked, flaky, or dry skin and maintain overall skin health.

 

Linoleic Acid (FATTY):

• Linoleic Acid, or Vitamin F, provides moisture and plumpness without weighing down the skin; it fortifies and protects the skin's barrier, thereby helping to fend off UV rays and air pollutants such as smoke, both of which cause free radical activity that can result in wrinkles and signs of aging.

In 2018, scientific research has been done on Radiating Rice Beads "Bedak Sejuk" to show the benefits it provides.
