It is suggested that the intake of vitamins, minerals, or essential fatty acids through diet can improve the condition of the skin, but it is difficult to supplement everything from diet alone. Since April 2015, the food industry has initiated a system of functional food labeling, and many functional foods with the theme of “skin moisturizing, maintaining skin barrier function” have been accepted, and the use of food ingredients and supplements that claim to reduce the risk of skin diseases and alleviate skin aging has increased. It is important to thoroughly evaluate the various ingredient groups used in supplements, including such functional foods.
