Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition containing a Rubus coreanus extract as an active ingredient, and more particularly, to a cosmetic composition which contains a Rubus coreanus extract processed by a traditional Korean medicinal processing technique to inhibit the formation of SNARE complexes and to inhibit the release of neurotransmitters, thereby achieving excellent effects in diminishing skin wrinkles. The cosmetic composition of the present invention has superior stability in formations as compared to conventional anti-wrinkle formulations, and exhibits effects similar to those of Botox injections which have been used in conventional surgical anti-wrinkle procedures, thus remarkably diminishing skin wrinkles with no side effects.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition containing white ginseng powder. Applying cosmetics containing white ginseng powder to the skin of a user stimulates blood circulation and exhibits superior skin scrubbing effects.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a cosmetic composition containing, as an active ingredient, a mixture of extracts of honey-roasted Adenophora triphylla var. japonica Hara and honey-roasted Angelica tenuissima Nakai, processed using a medicinal herb processing technique, and of extracts of medicinal herbs such as Lycium chinense Mill or Paeonia suffruticosa, and thus shows excellent antioxidant and skin-moisturizing effects.
Abstract:
A composition for anti-aging containing Artemisia annua L. as an active ingredient of the present invention does not cause any side effects on the skin, and can be usefully applied to an external preparation for the skin for anti-aging and improving wrinkles due to superior effectiveness in accelerating biosynthesis of skin cells and collagen.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method capable of improving the skin regeneration effect of medicinal materials through double boiling using an earthenware pot. The method shows an excellent skin regeneration effect, and the extract of medicinal materials obtained therethrough can be variously applied in the fields of cosmetics, health foods or medicine.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition to be externally applied to the skin, containing Chamaecyparis obtusa polysaccharides as active ingredients, and more particularly, to a composition to be externally applied to the skin, which contains Chamaecyparis obtusa polysaccharides to not only promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity, diminish wrinkles, inhibit melanogenesis and thus achieve excellent skin-whitening effects, but to also promote keratinocyte differentiation, improve skin moisturizing effects, and achieve superior anti-inflammatory and skin regeneration effects.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for skin external application containing a pine root extract. More specifically, the composition for skin external application according to the present invention contains, as an active ingredient, a pine root extract which shows various effects, including eliminating free radicals, protecting the cell membrane from damage by UV radiation, inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species caused by UV radiation, inhibiting the reduction in the expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase caused by UV radiation, stimulating the production of HSP70 to protect cells, inhibiting MMP-2 biosynthesis caused by UV radiation, inducing the expression of SIRT1 gene that restores DNA damage, and inducing the expression of LMNA1 gene that maintains the structure of the nuclear membrane. Ultimately, the composition of the present invention prevents skin aging.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a skin external composition for inhibiting epidermal hyperproliferation and alleviating inflammatory skin diseases, which contains ortho-dihydroxyisoflavone derivatives as an active ingredient. Specifically, the skin external composition contains the ortho-dihydroxyisoflavone derivatives, 4',6,7-trihydroxyisoflavone, 3',4',7-trihydroxyisoflavone or a mixture thereof, and thus increases the expression of DKK3 protein and FZD1 protein, which appropriately control Wnt signaling, thereby inhibiting epidermal hyperproliferation and alleviating inflammatory skin diseases caused by epidermal hyperproliferation.
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.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition which contains bee venom extracts as active ingredients and thus has skin-whitening and skin-moisturizing effects. In addition, the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition which contains bee venom extracts as active ingredients and thus has skin-whitening and skin-moisturizing effects.
