决胜“美妆原料之战”，福瑞达又射出一颗创新子弹

Core Viewpoint - The successful registration of bio-synthesized royal jelly acid by Furuida, a subsidiary of Lushang Group, marks a significant breakthrough in the Chinese cosmetics industry, enabling the large-scale application of this active ingredient and leading innovation in the sector [1][8]. Group 1: Royal Jelly and Its Applications - Royal jelly is a complex substance secreted by worker bees, consisting of water, proteins, sugars, lipids, and trace components, and is known for its strong biological activity with potential applications in food, medical materials, health products, and cosmetics [3][4]. - Historically, royal jelly has been used in skincare, with records dating back over 2000 years in ancient Egypt and China [3]. Group 2: Benefits of Royal Jelly Acid - Royal jelly exhibits multiple benefits in cosmetics, including anti-aging properties by promoting collagen production and inhibiting skin photoaging [4][5]. - It also has antibacterial properties, effectively inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus and other microbes [5]. - Additionally, royal jelly shows strong anti-inflammatory effects, enhancing skin barrier function and hydration [5]. Group 3: Challenges in Industrialization - The core component of royal jelly, 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (royal jelly acid), is present in low concentrations (1.4%-2.4%), making extraction and application challenging [6][7]. - Despite China being the largest producer of royal jelly, the high cost and limited availability of royal jelly acid have hindered its widespread use in cosmetics [7][8]. Group 4: Industry Significance of Furuida's Breakthrough - Furuida's successful registration of royal jelly acid as a new cosmetic ingredient represents a significant advancement in the domestic cosmetics industry, breaking the research and application gap in this area [8][9]. - The innovative biosynthesis technology developed by Furuida enhances the efficiency and yield of royal jelly acid production, addressing the challenges of high costs and limited availability [9][10]. - The discovery of royal jelly acid's skin barrier protection and anti-aging effects further solidifies its potential as a key ingredient in cosmetics [10]. Group 5: Broader Implications for the Cosmetics Industry - The success of royal jelly acid is indicative of a broader trend in the Chinese cosmetics industry towards reducing reliance on foreign technology and increasing domestic innovation [11]. - The number of newly registered cosmetic ingredients in China is at a historical high, with over 40% being supported by synthetic biology, reflecting a strategic shift towards "domestic substitution" in response to global supply chain uncertainties [11].
