There are, broadly speaking, three classes of functional extracts from Mahakanni herb Mahakanni, Mahakanni STLC

Introduction

respect, this interactive extract of Mahakanni is similar in function to dihydroxyacetone DHA, other natural examples of similar functionality being henna and Sepia officinalis (squid) and octopus.

The important components of Mahakanni STLC are DHAP,(2-hydroxy-1,4-DHAP) and phyto-eumelanin, a plant based novel black brown natural pigment, of Mahakanni leaf which is identical to the natural skin pigment.

This paper, concentrates on the functionality of Mahakanni STLC and its UV absorption components. These components are complex in nature and the action of Mahakanni relies not solely on the direct action of these components, but on their ability to react safely with components of the skin to produce an excellent and efficient self-tanning agent. It is the result of the reaction of the components of Mahakanni with the skin, that results in its excellent UV protection properties. In this


and phyto-eumelanin form the respective scleroDHAP and scleroeumelanin compounds which are both red-brown in colour and have total UV absorption properties. These products are a result similar to the well documented Mallard et Browning reaction sequence. This is similar to the reaction with DHA, but novelty lies in the red-brown natural colour that is expressly given, rather than the typical yellow colour exhibited following the reaction of DHA with keratin protein.

The self-tanning properties and functionality of Mahakanni STLC are a result of the reaction of DHAP with the skin. This is further enhanced by the natural phyto-eumelanin in a similar totally natural reaction with keratin protein which is present in the surface of the skin. This reaction of phyto-eumelaninbinding to the keratin protein is identical to the final stages of melanogenesis, the forming of darker skin after initial exposure to UV-A radiation, and absorption of UV-A and UV-B. The combination of DHAP

horny layer of the skin, forming a biological barrier film, which functions to tighten and firm loose skin and reduce trans epidermal moisture loss. Thus, when Mahakanni STLC is applied, a subtle tightening of the skin is felt, moisture loss is minimised through the action of this film which serves to reduce the convection of UV rays, i.e., the natural evaporation of skin moisture caused by high UV transmittance and absorption.

The other unique point is the presence of natural ascorbic acid in Mahakanni STLC which further reacts with DHAP to produce hydroDHAP, which is also a recognised UV absorber. Also in the extract is the presence of complex lipids, such as phosphoglyceride derivatives, the glycerophosphates, and phosphosphingolipids and the new, novel sphingomyelin, which almost certainly will spawn the next generation of therapeutic claims in the cosmoceutical industry within the next two years. Sphingomyelin reacts with the

STLC Dosage & Application

Mahakanni self-tanning liposome concentrate is an extract from Eclipta alba, that brings about a natural tanning of the skin, giving a particularly even and natural tan when compared to synthetic dihydroxyacetone(DHA). The tan develops quicker and is longer lasting.

Generally as an organic grown plant product, Mahakanni STLC extract is safer to use than DHA.



The use of a face-mask before application of the self-tanning preparation improves the effect. The tanning effect is apparent approximately 3 hours after the application but to intensify the effect a further treatment should be repeated 2 or 3 times with an interval of 1 hour between each application. After application of the self-tanning formulation, one should not wash for approximately one hour.

However, if the preparation has been split on hands or fingers, it should be washed off immediately with soap and water.

Mahakanni STLC may be added to the aqueous phase of emulsions, preferentially oil in water type. Liquid preparations in an aqueous form with 30% alcohol are normal.

An even application to the skin is important. Before applying the finished self-tanning preparation containing Mahakanni STLC, the skin should not be treated with creams or make-up preparations.

Generally a cheap variety of natural label claim cosmetics can be formulated using the following combinations:

Dihydroxyacetone 3% ( dissolved in water at 38°C)

Mahakanni STLC 4%

Or

Dihydroxyacetone 4%

Mahakanni STLC 2%

Both DHA and Mahakanni STLC are dissolved in water. The temperature should not exceed 38°C for any length of time.


Caution

As DHA causes formation of nitrosomes when applied on the skin. This is a suggestion of the general trend, however, we do not recommend the use of dihydoxyacetone with any of our Campo ingredients.

Storage

The Mahakanni STLC should be stored at 4°C in a refrigerator, in dark containers that are well closed and airtight for long term storage.

If required, the Mahakanni STLC can be stored or transferred into dark or dark amber glass bottles protected from direct sunlight. After prolonged storage of Mahakanni STLC, we recommend shaking or stirring the contents.


MAHAKANNI SELFTAN & SUNTAN ACCELATOR (MSSAMAHAKANNI SELFTAN & SUNTAN ACCELATOR (MSSA))

This is a special preparation from Eclipta prostata L which stimulates the formation of the melanin in the skin.

Melanin is a dark pigment which is synthesized in the melanocyteslocated at the lower layer of the dermis. Its task is to act as a natural filter of the sun ultraviolet radiation.

The formation of melanin is the consequence of the melanocyte reaction against an UV radiation. The quantity of melanin produced, depends on the duration, intensity and frequence of the exposition under ultraviolet light.The biochemical process of the melanin formation is quite complex, but it might be resumed in a comprehensible way as follows: the tyrosine amino acid, present in the melanocytes, is oxidised by means of certainredox activators (tyrosinases, riboflavin) and also by the presence of light, oxygen and heat to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). It is alsooxydised by dopaquinone. By means of a later oxydation and polymerization we arrive to the formation of melanin which has two different varieties: eumelanin, with a dark brown-blackish colour.


MAHAKANNI SELFTAN & SUNTAN ACCELATOR (MSSA)MAHAKANNI SELFTAN & SUNTAN ACCELATOR (MSSA)

The first variety existing in especially in black and brown people, and the second variety one in blonde or red-haired people.

From the physiologic point of view, the formation of melanin is produced as follows: first at all, tyrosinase is produced at the melanocytes ribosomes; then it passes through the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus, where it is accumulated as small vesicles. Then starts the melanosomesformation, very rich in tyrosine. The tyrosine accumulated in the Golgiapparatus is then transferred to the melanosomes. As explained in the previous paragraph, here is where take place the consecutive biooxidationsthat lead to the melanin formation. By means of vermiform elongationsoriginated in the melanocytes, the melanin synthesized at the melanosomespasses to the keratocytes, colouring them.

The pigment formed by the melanocytes of the lower layer, transferred later to the keratocytes of the epiderm deepest layers, migrate to the most external layers, resulting a more or less tanned colour, which at the same time is acting as a protection against the UV solar radiation.



The skin of white people are very fewly pigmented. When it is exposed to the direct action of sun light, UV radiation promotes a great stimulation ofmelanocytes, with the corresponding melanin increment, wich needs some days to arrive to the most superficial layers of the skin. For this reason the pigmentation appears after some days, however in the meantime, there is not enough solar protection, of which causes some troubles such as redness, irritation and skin burning in the most serious cases.

To avoid this problem, it is necessary to use preparations including synthetic sun filters, which will replace the initial lack of melanin. However, what happens in this case, is that the protection is inversely proportional to the tanning speed, and so, as it appears quickly, it will have a negative effect of redness, iritation, and burning sensation over the skin. On the other side, with a high sun protection factor, the skin will be tanned very slowly, and for some types of skin the tanning will never happen.



By adding MAHAKANNI SELFTAN &SUNTAN ACCELERATORpreparation which accelerates the formation of melanin in the suntan products, we will obtain a solar protection factor suitable for each case, without increasing the time to obtain the desired tanning. This is the basic principle of the Mahakanni Self & Sun tanning Accelerator, which will satisfy the essential requirements of solar baths: to obtain the maximum coloration in the minimum time, by causing the minimun damage possible to the skin.

MAHAKANNI SELFTAN & SUNTAN ACCELERATOR is presented as a solution which includes the following active components:

Eclipta prostrata extract complex of Tyrosine, Riboflavin (Vitamin B) and other plant amino acids & phytochemicals in a water and glycerine solution.


MAHAKANNI SELFTAN & SUNTAN ACCELATOR (MSSA)MAHAKANNI SELFTAN & SUNTAN ACCELATOR (MSSA)The formation of melanin in the skin is verified on basis of the tyrosine amino acid. However, such a biochemical transformation requires the co-operation of light, heat, oxygen and one enzyme. Such enzyme is thetyrosinase, one oxidase that makes possible the first step of the tyrosine oxidation, following automatically the next steps until the coloured pigment formation.

According to a basic biochemical law, in an enzymatic process the more quantity of disposable substratum is, the better are the results obtained. So, it suggests the possibility of obtaining a more intensive and quick tanning, by supplying tyrosine to the skin. However, the most difficult is the addition of this amino acid to the preparations, because it is not soluble enough for the basis normally used in cosmetics.

The most suitable solution to this problem, is to add the tyrosine in form of a proteic hydrolysate very rich in this amino acid, with such a molecular weight that the tyrosine be in form of a di- or tri-peptide, in which its solubility is maximum.


MAHAKANNI SELFTAN & SUNTAN ACCELATOR (MSSA)MAHAKANNI SELFTAN & SUNTAN ACCELATOR (MSSA)It has been experimentally proved that the single addition of tyrosine for a preparation does not give perceptible results, since it is necessary the presence of a catalyst of tyrosine oxidation to DOPA. Such oxidation takes place in the skin by means of tyrosinases, but due to its instability, it is not possible to include it in suntan accelerator preparations. Instead oftyrosinase, we use riboflavin, which also catalyses the tyrosine oxidationprocess.

It intensifies the formation of skin melanin. For this reasons, by adding it to the suntan preparation, it helps the obtention of a quicker, intense and lasting tanning. It has been proved that with the same time and in two identical basis, the tanning intensity becomes between 20% and 50% higher, depending on the kind of skin and incident light.
