Breast milk can cure acne
Scientists in the United States recently found similar substances contained in mother’s milk that has big potential cure acne. This natural substance called laurik acid (lauric acid), the levels in breast milk (milk) reached about 45-50 percent. Known as antibacterial agents, laurik acid is also found in virgin coconut oil, or VCO.
Inventor of this substance, Dissaya Pornpattananangkul, a bioengineering researcher from the University of California, stated, laurik acid could save millions of teenagers in the world. This substance is going to be new hope in the treatment of acne because of its natural and safe.
Through his research, Dissaya prove that the treatment using facial creams that contain this substance does not cause side effects. Not as well as other current treatments that can cause skin redness, heat, and burning.
One of the advantages the invention is to combine acid Dissaya laurik with “gold nanoparticles”. These nano particles that make acid laurik not attached to each other when the processed form of cream and then can be separated quickly when applied to the skin.
“Nano particles can also help determine the bacteria that cause pimples liposomes based on skin conditions, including pH (acidity),” he said.
Together with his team, Dissata plans to conduct these tests on human skin creams. So far they have managed to meet several conditions to obtain permits testing because this product is made from natural ingredients and has been included in the safe list.
