Three functions that maintain women's skin's "moisture content," "barrier function," and "elasticity" have been accepted for notification as functional foods.
"Fujiflavone" is a functional food ingredient extracted and purified from soybean cotyledons. Through joint research with Daicel Corporation, a notification for a functional food product was accepted by the Consumer Affairs Agency on December 18, 2023, highlighting three functions related to "maintenance of skin moisture, barrier function, and elasticity," with soybean isoflavones and lactobionic acid as the active components. In addition to the function of maintaining bone health with soybean isoflavones, it will be possible to promote the triple health claims regarding the maintenance of skin moisture, barrier function, and elasticity. The results of this research have been patented through a joint application by Fujicco and Daicel Corporation. [Features] ■ High versatility (quickly dissolves in water, minimal impact on taste) ■ Reliable and stable quality (carefully extracted from natural ingredients in domestic factories) ■ Abundant data (capable of providing data based on extensive achievements, including joint research with universities in Japan and abroad) *For more details, please refer to the materials.

basic information
We conducted research in collaboration with Daicel Corporation, focusing on the skin health functions of soybean isoflavones as a new feature. Lactobionic acid, a food ingredient from Daicel, is an indigestible oligosaccharide produced by the fermentation of lactose by acetic acid bacteria, and it is expected to improve skin functions through the intestinal microbiota. Additionally, it has been reported that lactobionic acid promotes the metabolism of soybean isoflavones into equol, which has stronger estrogen-like effects, making it a highly compatible food component with soybean isoflavones. Therefore, we conducted a human trial targeting women concerned about dry skin, where we simultaneously administered "Fujiflavone" and lactobionic acid. The results confirmed that the moisture content of the skin's stratum corneum, transepidermal water loss (barrier function), and elasticity were maintained or improved during dry periods. *For more details, please refer to the materials.

Company information
Fujikko Co., Ltd. is a company engaged in the manufacturing and sales of various food products. Starting with "kombu" at its inception, it has expanded its business to include "beans," "desserts," and "yogurt," while always being mindful of health and deliciousness. The company is committed to the quality of ingredients, additive-free preservation techniques, and the pursuit of food safety and security. Furthermore, Japan is now said to be a country with a high prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases, but we are confident that the health benefits of soy isoflavones, black soybean polyphenols, dietary fiber and minerals from kombu, and lactic acid bacteria from Caspian Sea yogurt, which we have clarified through our foundational research, will contribute to the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases in the future.
