The present invention relates to the use of plant extracts of Passiflora alata as an anti-inflammatory agent in cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions. The present invention further relates to a process for obtaining a plant extract of Passiflora alata comprising the steps of submitting the leaves of the Passiflora alata plants to an extraction with water to obtain an aqueous extract and submitting the aqueous extract thus obtained to at least one elution with an aqueous solution of ethanol in a specific column and later drying of said extract by spray-drying.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one plant lipid, having as its main application the treatment of keratinous materials, particularly skin, hair, scalp, nails and eyelashes, by modulating the expression of genes responsible for ROS metabolism, lipid metabolism, skin integrity, cell renewal, cell differentiation, strengthening the skin barrier, calcium metabolism, cell proliferation, tissue healing and/or repair, cell adhesion, carbohydrate metabolism, hydration, skin homeostasis/maintenance, skin defense and/or protection, remodeling and/or extracellular matrix synthesis, skin peeling, tissue maintenance, cell signaling, normal development of the epidermis, epidermal barrier function, development of the skin, dermis-epidermis junction, antiinflammatory or antioxidant action in keratinous materials, through the modulation of the expression of the genes involved in said functions. The present invention also teaches methods of modulating the expression of genes responsible for such functions of keratinous materials and the use of said plant lipids in the preparation of said compositions.
摘要:
The present invention deals with a cosmetic composition comprising Astrocaryum vulgare oil and/or butter, which is useful in the production and/or protection against degradation of hyaluronic acid in the skin, the process for the production thereof, as well as as related uses and methods.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising guacatonga extract (Casearia silvestris), aroeira extract (Schinus tere-binthifolius raddi) and cosmetically acceptable adjuvants, for preventing and/or treating signs of skin aging. It further relates to the use of guagatonga extract (Casearia silvestris) and aroeira extract (Schinus terebinthifolius raddi) in the preparation of a cosmetic composition for preventing and/or treating signs of skin aging, as well as the use of this composition for simultaneously increasing tropoelastin, increasing the lysyl exidase (LOX) enzyme and reducing the activity of elastase in the dermis. The invention relates to a method of preventing and/or treating signs of skin aging, which comprises applying said cosmetic composition to the skin. Finally, the invention relates to a method of preparing said composition according to the present invention.
摘要:
