Abstract:
The present invention relates to an extract of a processed herbal medicinal plant and a composition for skin external application which contains the extract. More specifically, the composition for skin external application contains an extract of processed herbal medicinal plant, prepared through a method comprising the steps of: (a) processing an herbal medicinal plant by a process of boiling, steaming, roasting, baking or heating the medicinal plant or a combination of two or more of these processes; (b) obtaining an extract of the processed medicinal plant. The composition shows an improved antioxidant effect.
Abstract:
The present specification discloses a composition for caring for skin damage caused by fine dust, wherein the composition includes a fermented tea extract as an active ingredient and adjusts the expression level of at least one selected from the following group of genes which are present in skin cells and have expression levels that are affected by fine dust to normal levels, said group consisting of: IL-1B (NM_000576), IL-36G (NM_019618), S100A7 (NM_002963), LCE3D (NM_032563), PTGS2 (NM_000963) and XDH (NM_000379). Damage to skin cells can be cared for by using the composition for caring for skin damage caused by fine dust to return gene expression levels, which change due to fine dust, to normal levels.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a skin external composition containing an extract of green tea produced by an extreme light-shielding cultivation method, which is distinguished from a conventional light-shielding cultivation method of green tea. More specifically, the present invention relates to a skin external composition, which contains an extract of green tea cultivated by extreme light-shielding, in which the amino acid content is remarkably increased by cultivating the green tea by a light-shielding cultivation under a light-shielding rate of 99% or more, thereby obtaining more excellent skin moisturizing, skin protecting, and anti-aging effects.
Abstract:
A composition containing a material for regulating the expression of ABH antigens and, more specifically, to a composition capable of: controlling sebum production and alleviating skin trouble by regulating the expression of ABH antigens; preventing skin pore enlargement by providing antioxidant effects; and defending against skin irritation production and method of using the composition are disclosed.
Abstract:
Provided are an anti-aging composition that contains a mixed extract of Chinese matrimony vine and pine needles as an effective component and a method of inhibiting aging of skin. The composition is for an external application to the skin, wherein a mixed extract of Chinese matrimony vine and pine needles, which are the natural ingredients, is contained such that excellent anti-aging or wrinkle improvement effects to the skin can be obtained through the vitalization of a retinoic acid derivative.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the novel Rhizobium sp. GIN611 KCTC11708BP or to cell extracts thereof, to a novel oxidoreductase which exhibits a glycolytic activity, to a gene encoding the oxidoreductase, to a recombinant strain comprising recombinant vector proteins or to an expression vector encoding recombinant proteins, and to a method for the glycolysis of natural products using same as a biocatalyst. The present invention also relates to a method for producing aglycones from a variety of natural products using same. The novel oxidoreductase separated from the novel microorganism of the present invention does not belong to a glucosidase group but belongs to an oxidoreductase group, and has a glycolytic activity for natural products. The novel oxidoreductase oxidizes the sugar in the aglycones of natural products, thereby producing a variety of aglycones.
