Abstract:
When a catechin-free tea water according to the present invention is contained in a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition, enzymes are inactivated and catechin contained in tea leaves is removed by steaming unprocessed raw tea leaves, thereby preventing the oxidation of tea water. Therefore, a composition containing the tea water according to the present invention can prevent offensive odor generation or discoloration of the composition, thereby enabling the stable use thereof in various industrial fields such as food, cosmetics and medicine. In addition, plenty of skin helpful ingredients, contained in raw tea leaves, can be contained, and thus excellent skin barrier function recovery or skin moisturization effects can be provided.
Abstract:
The present disclosure discloses a method for improving the skin condition or anti-microorganisms or anti-oxidation using Lactobacillus sakei MD_honeysuckle (accession number: KCTC 12675BP) derived from Lonicera japonica Thunb. A composition containing the strain or a cultured product thereof, or an extract thereof as an active ingredient has superior DPPH radical scavenging activity and antimicrobial activity against pathogenic microorganisms, has a high total polyphenol content and is capable of inhibiting the growth of melanocytes. Accordingly, the composition of the present disclosure is effective in preventing aging, improving skin wrinkles, whitening skin, fighting against microorganisms and fighting against oxidation and can be widely used in cosmetic compositions, pharmaceutical compositions or health food compositions where such effects are required.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition which can effectively control bacteria by containing meso-2,3-butanediol, which is an isomer of 2,3-butane diol, and has excellent antiseptic power even without containing a chemical antiseptic agent.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a composition for inhibiting sebum secretion comprising a peach sprout extract as an active ingredient, and a composition for inhibiting sebum secretion comprising a mixed extract of peach sprout and peony as an active ingredient. The extract can inhibit an overproduction of sebum and regulates secretion of sebum, thereby not only imparting elasticity to the pores but also suppressing the aging of the pores and exhibiting a pore-contraction effect.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising an araloside-based compound and, more particularly, to a composition for external application to skin, the composition comprising, as an active component, an araloside-based compound, including araloside X, araloside V and araloside VII. Thus, the composition restores skin markers damaged by external environmental stress, such as harmful substances or fine dusts, and reduces the expression of skin inflammatory factors to help the recovery of damaged skin, thereby providing effects, such as anti-oxidation, skin trouble suppression, anti-inflammation, or skin barrier improvement.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a composition for activating one or more genes of an XPD gene, a Klotho gene, a Sirt-1 gene, an ERCC8 gene and a FoxO3 gene, which contains a methylated catechin, a salt thereof, a prodrug thereof, a hydrate thereof, a solvate thereof or an isomer thereof as an active ingredient. In an aspect, the present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition, a cosmetic composition or a food composition which activates one or more genes of an XPD gene, a Klotho gene, a Sirt-1 gene, an ERCC8 gene and a FoxO3 gene and is useful in preventing or treating disease related with the genes, preventing aging and improving skin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising the saponin fraction derived from the root of camellia sinensis, and more specifically, a composition which, by using the saponin fraction isolated after treating the extract of the root of camellia sinensis with an enzyme, can reduce the cellular toxicity over the conventional saponin fraction derived from the root of camellia sinensis to enhance stability to the skin, and can comprise the saponin fraction obtained by such method in much higher amounts to provide the more superior skin condition improvement effect.
