摘要:
External skin preparations containing one or more members selected from among a fermentation product, which is obtained by treating a bean extract with a microorganism, vitamin A and its derivatives. By potentiating skin cells and accelerating the production of hyaluronic acid, these preparations exert effects of preventing and relieving skin chapping, improving keratin, moistening, and preventing and relieving skin tension failure and wrinkles, thereby efficaciously retarding skin aging.
摘要:
Provided is a novel lactic acid bacterium strain which is capable of suppressing production of volatile sulfur compounds by oral bacteria, has no cariogenicity and no causative role in infective endocarditis, and is safe in an oral cavity, and provided is an agent for preventing, improving and/or treating oral diseases and discomforts by use of the bacterial strain. An agent for preventing and/or treating an oral disease, containing, as an active ingredient, at least one lactic acid bacterium selected from Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus fermentum, Lactobacillus gasseri, and Streptococcus mitis and having all of the following properties (1) to (6): (1) having no ability to produce a volatile sulfur compound (VSC); (2) having no ability to produce water-insoluble glucan; (3) having adhesiveness to a tooth surface and/or an oral cell; (4) having a growth inhibitory effect on a bad breath-causing bacterium and/or a periodontal pathogen; (5) having no causative role in infective endocarditis; and (6) having no cariogenicity.

Disclosed is a skin property-improving agent which exerts excellent effects by oral administration. The skin property-improving agent for oral administration contains, as an active ingredient, a bacterium belonging to the genus Streptococcus and a bacterium belonging to the genus Bifidobacterium, or fermented milk containing the two bacteria.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a composition for retarding skin aging which contains an edible herb medicine or medicines found in Taiwan, in particular a plant extract or extracts having melanine formation-unhibiting, elastase-inhibiting, hyaluronidase-inhibiting, active oxygen- eliminating and/or radical-capturing type antioxidant activities, and a medicinally acceptable base and/or additives for external dermal application. The composition is useful in promoting skin whitening effects, maintaining the tension and elasticity of the skin, facilitating skin moistening and providing the skin with anti-inflammatory and/or anti-allergic properties.
