Abstract:
A skin color measurement system comprises: a transformation module which transforms the color of an image obtained by photographing a skin into color data in a log coordinate system having coordinate axes corresponding to primary colors; a first measurement module which disposes a preset illumination vector and a plurality of pigment vectors in a polygonal cone shape surrounding the color data, and measures a yellowish tone using the position of the vertex of the polygonal cone; and a second measurement module which separates the color data into the directional component of the illumination vector and the directional component of each of the pigment vectors, and measures a plurality of pigment distributions. With the skin measurement system, it is possible to measure a yellowish tone, a blackish tone and/or a reddish tone of a skin, and to output a result of the measurement as an image, and thus it is possible to simply and visibly express a change in a skin tone before and after a specific makeup product is used.
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 is a composition containing an active ingredient comprising one or more extracts selected from the group consisting of Rehmannia glutinosa, licorice, Coix lacryma-jobi seed, wheat germ, Chaenomeles sinensis fruit, Acanthopanacis cortex and Radix puerariae. The composition promotes adipocyte differentiation and fat globule production, and is effective in reducing skin wrinkles, increasing skin elasticity and preventing skin ageing.
Abstract:
Provided is a pressure-cycling type of extraction device comprising: an extraction unit for accommodating and extracting an extraction target substance; a compression unit for increasing the pressure inside the extraction unit; and a decompression unit for decreasing the pressure inside the extraction unit; wherein the pressure inside the extraction unit is increased and decreased by alternately operating the compression unit and the decompression unit, and the extraction unit comprises a bubbling nozzle for supplying bubbles into the extraction target substance. Further provided is a pressure-cycling type of extraction method in which a compression process and a decompression process are carried out alternately, and compositions produced by the method. The extraction device and method allow low temperature extraction, permit outstanding extraction efficiency and can prevent colour changes, olfactory changes and thermal denaturation of the extraction target substance.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a composition for external skin application for preventing skin aging comprising pine knot extract as an effective ingredient. The composition prevents and improves winkles through of skin cell proliferation and collagen biosynthesis, and may be widely applied in the field of skin beauty care and cosmetics.
Abstract:
Provided are a method for neck care and a neck care kit comprising the method, the method comprising: the step of applying acupressure to a Cheonchu acupoint and then applying acupressure downward along a back neckline from the Cheonchu acupoint; the step of applying acupressure to a Yepung acupoint and then applying acupressure downward along the sternocleidomastoid muscle from the Yepung acupoint to the upper margin of the collarbone; the step of applying acupressure to the upper margin of the collarbone and the decollete region (the upper part of breast); and the step of applying acupressure to the region connecting the low margin of the lower jaw and the neck. The method for neck care is considered to have effects of relieving skin wrinkles, improving blood circulation, relieving tension and giving a pleasant stimulation, thereby enabling various applications in the fields of skin care, cosmetics and medicine.
