23Anti-Aging Cosmetic Beauty Science Answers

Submitted by Beauty Brains Blog

We asked you which ingredient was NOT currently said to provide anti-aging benefits and your responses were all over the place. Here’s the answers. Were you right?

1. Frog Skin - True

27% of you thought that scientists were not using frog skin for anti-aging properties but unfortunately, you were wrong. This article about bullfrog skin containing antioxidants suggests that it may have an anti-aging effect. I’m not a big fan of harvesting amphibians for cosmetics so I can’t encourage it’s use.

2. Cactus Spines - Fake

Only 17% of you thought this was the fake but it was. There is no raw material company selling cactuscactus spine spines as a natural, anti-aging ingredient. However, based on the Beauty Brains community of poll answerers, maybe they should. Most people believe that this is a reasonable ingredient to give an anti-aging effect.

3. Apple Stem Cells - True

This one tricked the most people. 34% of you thought this was the fake but it’s real. A company name Mibelle Biochemistry has introduced an anti-aging ingredient based on apple stem cells. Who knew apples had stem cells too?

4. Snake Venom - True

22% of you thought this one was fake but you were mistaken. Indeed, one cosmetic raw material company is marketing Syn-ake, a peptide derived from snake venom. I remain skeptical about this one as it is too conveniently similar to botox.

So how did you do? Leave a comment and let everyone know whether you were right and why you picked the answer you did. Come back soon for an all new Beauty Brains Beauty Science or BS.
