What Causes 90% of the Skin Wrinkles? A Scientific Guide to the Real Enemy of Youth

Introduction
We often blame our genetics or "getting old" for the lines on our faces. However, dermatology research tells a different story. A staggering statistic dominates the anti-aging conversation: What causes 90% of the skin wrinkles?

The answer is Extrinsic Aging, specifically Photoaging (sun damage).

At Guangzhou Rysun Biotechnology, this fact is the cornerstone of our product philosophy. Founded in 2014 by Ivy Wong following enlightening discussions with a Swiss anti-aging expert, our company was built on the realization that most skin aging is preventable. If 90% of wrinkles are caused by the environment, then skincare is not just vanity—it is protection.

Backed by our Research Institute and 20 leading scientists, we are here to break down the mechanism of photoaging and how Rysun engineers products to fight this external enemy.

 

The Science: It’s Not Time, It’s Light

To understand why skin wrinkles, we must distinguish between two types of aging:

  • Intrinsic Aging (Chronological): This is the natural slowing down of cell turnover. It accounts for only about 10% of visible aging.

  • Extrinsic Aging (Environmental): This accounts for the remaining 90%. The primary culprit is UV Radiation from the sun.

How UV Rays Destroy Skin:

  • UVA Rays (The Aging Rays): These penetrate deep into the dermis. They generate Free Radicals (unstable oxygen molecules).
  • Oxidative Stress: These free radicals attack healthy cells, triggering enzymes called MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases).
  • Collagen Collapse: MMPs act like scissors, snipping the collagen and elastin fibers that hold the skin up. Over time, the skin structure collapses, forming a deep wrinkle.

The "Swiss" Perspective: Prevention and Repair

Our Swiss-inspired origins taught us that the best anti-aging strategy is to neutralize these free radicals before they cut the collagen.

This drives our R&D strategy at Rysun. We don't just make "creams"; we manufacture Environmental Shields.

1. The Antioxidant Defense (Vitamin C & Ferulic Acid)
Since free radicals cause the damage, antioxidants are the cure.

  • The Rysun Solution: We utilize our 253 intellectual properties to stabilize potent antioxidants like Vitamin C. By donating electrons to free radicals, our serums stop the "collagen cutting" process before it begins.

2. Barrier Reinforcement (Ceramides & Peptides)
UV exposure weakens the skin barrier (stratum corneum).

  • The Rysun Solution: We formulate Practical Solutions that repair the barrier. Our Peptide serums signal the skin to rebuild the collagen lost to sun damage, while Ceramides seal the cracks to restore hydration.

3. Cell Renewal (Retinol)
For damage that has already occurred, cell turnover is key.

  • The Rysun Solution: We use advanced Encapsulation Technology to deliver Retinol deep into the skin. This reverses the textural roughness associated with photoaging without causing further inflammation.

 

The Manufacturer’s Role: Stability is Protection

If a product claims to fight photoaging but is unstable, it is useless.

  • The Challenge: Antioxidants oxidize (die) when exposed to air.
  • The Rysun Standard: We implement up to 50 inspection procedures per product. We test our formulations under intense light and heat conditions to ensure they remain active. When you partner with Rysun, you are selling a product that actually fights the 90%.

Conclusion

So, what causes 90% of the skin wrinkles?
It is the sun, pollution, and the resulting oxidative stress. It is the environment attacking the skin.

This means that 90% of aging is manageable with the right science. At Rysun Biotechnology, we combine over 10 years of manufacturing excellence with high-tech R&D to create products that neutralize this damage. Partner with us to manufacture skincare that doesn't just moisturize, but defends against the true cause of aging.

 

FAQs

Q1: Can I reverse wrinkles caused by the sun?
A: You can significantly improve them. Ingredients like Retinol and Peptides (which Rysun manufactures) stimulate new collagen to fill in the gaps left by UV damage. However, prevention is always easier than cure.

Q2: Does sitting by a window cause wrinkles?
A: Yes. UVA rays (the aging rays) penetrate glass. This contributes to the "90%" statistic. Rysun recommends using antioxidant serums daily, even when indoors.

Q3: Is pollution part of the "90%"?
A: Yes. Modern research shows that pollution particles also generate free radicals, similar to UV rays. Rysun specializes in "Anti-Pollution" skincare lines for urban markets.

Q4: How does Rysun test for anti-aging efficacy?
A: Our Research Institute uses rigorous efficacy testing, including measuring free radical scavenging activity (antioxidant power) and collagen synthesis rates, to ensure our formulas effectively combat extrinsic aging.
