Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biology, and more particularly to a composition, application, and cosmetic having skin-improving effects. Background Technology
[0002] Patent application CN110585048A, entitled "A composition with anti-glycation and anti-oxidation properties and its application," discloses the use of licorice root extract, nicotinamide, Bright Oléoactif® organic brightening extract, hydrolyzed conchiolin, and plant extracts to enhance the anti-glycation properties of cells.
[0003] The effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on the skin are mainly manifested in their ability to cause skin aging and dullness. There is a direct correlation between anti-glycation and the anti-wrinkle, firming, and whitening properties of products. In ongoing research on several cosmetic raw materials, the applicant has screened out some new raw materials that exhibit excellent anti-glycation effects. Based on this, this application is filed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composition that improves skin function. This composition uses acetylhydroxyproline and white water lily extract as the main active ingredients and has a good anti-glycation effect. Meanwhile, the present invention also discloses a whitening composition, which has dual antioxidant properties and also has potential anti-wrinkle and firming effects.
[0005] The present invention also discloses the application of the composition and cosmetics.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses: A composition having skin-improving effects includes acetylhydroxyproline and white water lily extract, wherein the weight ratio of acetylhydroxyproline to white water lily extract is 0.01~2:0.1~5.
[0007] In this invention, acetylhydroxyproline and white water lily extract constitute a dual anti-glycation combination. Acetylhydroxyproline inhibits glycation reactions at the source, reduces the formation of AGEs, and precisely targets the initial stage of glycation. White water lily extract activates the skin whitening pathway, accelerates the metabolism and clearance of AGEs, reduces structural collapse, and improves yellowing. The experiments of this invention further verify that the two have a significant synergistic effect in anti-glycation.

[0016] Furthermore, the present invention also discloses the use of the skin-improving composition as described above, or the use of the whitening composition described above in the preparation of cosmetics.
[0017] Finally, the present invention discloses a cosmetic containing a skin-improving composition as described above, or a whitening composition as described in any of the above.
[0018] In the aforementioned cosmetics, the concentration of the whitening composition is 0.0001~20wt%.
[0019] In the aforementioned cosmetics, the concentration of the whitening composition is 0.001~10wt%; more preferably, the concentration of the whitening composition is 1~5wt%.
[0020] This application has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. The formulation of this invention has been verified to have good anti-glycation and whitening effects through anti-glycation experiments, tyrosinase inhibition experiments, and B16 cell melanin inhibition experiments; at the same time, this invention also has potential anti-wrinkle and firming effects. 2.

[0051] Safety Testing: Qualified patch test materials were selected. The test substance (Examples 6 and 7) was placed in the patch tester, with a volume of approximately 0.020 mL to 0.025 mL (the liquid was dropped onto the filter paper attached to the patch tester and placed inside). The patch tester containing the test substance was applied to the back or flexor side of the forearm of the subject using non-irritating adhesive tape. Gently press with the palm of the hand to ensure even application to the skin, and continue for 24 hours. The judgment criteria are shown in Table 4 (Skin Reaction Evaluation Criteria for Closed Patch Tests).
[0052] Table 4. Criteria for evaluating skin reaction in closed patch tests degree of reaction Rating levels Skin reaction - 0 negative reaction ± 1 Suspicious reaction: only slight erythema + 2 Weak positive reaction (erythema reaction): erythema, infiltration, edema, and papules may be present. ++ 3 Strong positive reaction (herpes reaction): erythema, infiltration, edema, papules, vesicles; the reaction may extend beyond the test area. +++ 4 Extremely strong positive reaction (confluent herpes simplex reaction): obvious erythema, severe infiltration, edema, confluent herpes simplex; reaction extends beyond the test area.
[0053] Result determination: If more than 5 out of 30 subjects have a grade 1 adverse skin reaction, or more than 2 out of 30 subjects have a grade 2 adverse skin reaction (more than 5 out of 30 subjects have a grade 2 adverse skin reaction in the patch test of deodorant products), or if any one subject has a grade 3 or higher adverse skin reaction, the test substance is determined to have an adverse skin reaction on the human body. The test results are shown in Tables 5 and 6; Table 5 Test Results AGES inhibition rate % Tyrosinase inhibition rate % Melanin improvement rate % Example 1 26.47 / / Example 2 60.32 / / Example 3 33.62 / / Comparative Example 1 18.00 / / Comparative Example 2 25.44 / / Example 4 / 78.56 / Example 5 / 85.51 / Example 6 / 97.13 / Example 7 / 83.95 / Comparative Example 3 / 63.35 / Comparative Example 4 / 63.35 / Comparative Example 5 / 75.33 / Example 8 / / 77.84 Example 9 / / 72.89 Comparative Example 6 / / 59.57 Comparative Example 7 / / 65.31 Comparative Example 8 / / 54.81
[0054] The security test results are shown in Table 6: Table 6 Results of skin reaction test using closed patch
[0055] Conclusion: The results of the human patch test show that: In Example 30, the skin of the subjects showed a negative reaction (score level 0). According to the judgment criteria of the human patch test in "HAT-SOP-F1-PZ-092", Examples 6 and 7 showed no adverse reactions on human skin.
[0056] Results analysis: As can be seen from Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 of the present invention, when used alone at a specific concentration, both exhibit a slight AGES inhibition effect. When used in combination, as in Example 2, they exhibit a more obvious AGES scavenging effect. This indicates that the acetylhydroxyproline and white water lily extract of the present invention not only exist as anti-glycation components, but also exhibit a significant synergistic effect. When these two anti-glycation ingredients were applied to a comprehensive formulation, we found equally significant synergistic whitening and melanin-improving effects. Specifically, referring to Examples 4 to 7 and Comparative Examples 3 to 5, in the dual anti-glycation + whitening system, the use of acetylhydroxyproline alone did not improve the whitening effect, but when the two were used in combination, the whitening effect was significantly improved. Similarly, the same conclusion was reached in Examples 8 and 9 and Comparative Examples 6 and 7.
[0057] Based on the above analysis, it can be seen that the dual anti-glycation composition of the present invention has anti-glycation synergy, and when applied to the dual anti-glycation + whitening system, it further exhibits whitening synergy.
