Maple Water - Promoting of Fibroblast Proliferation

Effects to Increase Skin Moisture

Maple Water was applied on the skin on an area inside of the forearms of 14 male or female subjects in their 30's to 50's during the dry period of winter (January to February). Then water content in stratum corneum (capacitance) was measured by corneometer and the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) was measured by a tewameter. As a result, the water content in stratum corneum increased and TEWL lowered as compared to
the state before the test. The results suggest that Maple Water can moisturize the skin
and boost the skinʼs barrier function at the same time, thus treating dry skin in winter. A test was conducted using human normal dermal fibroblasts. When the water in the culture medium was replaced with Maple Water, the cell count significantly increased in the Maple Water medium as compared to the regular medium. According to the test results, Maple Water is expected to vitalize cells.
