What is eggshell membrane？

  • ​
    The thin membrane of an egg as a plant of life.

    The egg, unlike mammals that are connected to the mother by an umbilical cord, can be seen as an incubator equipped with the necessary elements to give life to a chick. It is also the origin of life, nurturing the chick to the point where it can walk in just 21 days.

  • What is the Eggshell Membrane？

    The eggshell membrane is a thin layer, just 0.07mm thick, found on the inside of an eggshell. This membrane gently envelops the developing chick, protecting it from external microorganisms and UV radiation. It plays a crucial role in guiding the growth and differentiation of around 10 billion cells, leading to the chick's birth.

  • Eggshell Membrane and
    Type III Collagen

    To maintain youthfulness and overall health, Type III collagen is essential. In our search for sources of Type III collagen, we came across the 'eggshell membrane.

    The reason a baby's skin is so soft and supple is that it contains a high amount of Type III collagen, also known as "baby collagen." However, Type III collagen decreases with age, cannot be obtained from food, and is not available in collagen supplements. Among the various types of collagen, we have focused on Type III collagen and have come across a unique source: the "eggshell membrane.

Scientifically Proven. Eggshell Membrane Boosts Type III Collagen.

Fibroblasts in the skin's dermis play a crucial role in producing essential extracellular matrix components for healthy skin, including Type III collagen, proteoglycans, MMP2, and hyaluronic acid. Research has shown that the eggshell membrane can activate fibroblasts and enhance the secretion of these components. This study has been published in Nikkei Health and academic journals like "Cell & Tissue Research," drawing attention to the benefits of eggshell membrane both domestically and internationally.

Research results on type III collagen expression

In a study by Dr. Atomi, fibroblasts were cultured in media with and without eggshell membrane. The results showed that the presence of eggshell membrane led to approximately 3.5 times higher expression of Type III collagen compared to the absence of eggshell membrane.

A Treasure Trove of Natural Beauty Ingredients

①人の肌に近いアミノ酸組成

卵殻膜は18種類のアミノ酸、コラーゲンとヒアルロン酸を自然に含んでいます。
美容と健康を考えた時、アミノ酸はとても重要です。卵殻膜には、普段の食事ではなかなかバランスよく摂ることの出来ないアミノ酸を自然由来のたんぱく質やペプチドの形で18種類も含有しているだけでなく、人の肌に近いアミノ酸組成で親和性が高く、化粧品として肌なじみがよいのも特長です。

(Calculated based on materials from raw materials suppliers.) 
*Note: These amino acid composition values are not fixed and may vary.
2.The noteworthy point is the abundance of 'cystine.

卵殻膜には、美肌に欠かせないアミノ酸「シスチン」がたんぱく質やペプチドの形で多く含まれています。
シスチンが多いとされる食品と比較しても、その含有量は圧倒的。シスチンは体の中でL-システインに変わります。L-システインは、シミ、そばかす用として販売されている商品に配合されていることでも有名です。天然美肌成分シスチンをこれほど多く摂れるのも卵殻膜の嬉しい特長です。
