Ursolic acid treatment
improves the health of skin and hair. Ursolic acid and its derivatives form oil-resistant
barriers on the skin and hair as they do in the waxy coating of fruits6.
Ursolic acid has been used to treat photoaged skin because it prevents and improves the
appearance of wrinkles and age spots by restoring the skin's collagen bundle structures
and its elasticity31. Concentrations of ursolic acid ranging from 0.01 to 50 mg
have been reported for inclusion in skin treatment preparations 32-33.
