The invention relates to the technical field of
cosmetics, in particular to a whitening,
skin-tendering and anti-aging composition and a preparation method and application thereof.The whitening,
skin-tendering and anti-aging composition is composed of the following components: a core
active component: a peony root
bark extract, the
paeonol content of which is larger than or equal to 10% and the
paeoniflorin content of which is larger than or equal to 8% (HPLC (
High Performance Liquid Chromatography) detection); the
solvent / carrier component is 1, 3-
butanediol which is used as a compatible component of an extraction
solvent and a cosmetic matrix; through efficient extraction with the 1, 3-
butanediol and purification with a 5000Da
ultrafiltration membrane, the content of
paeonol is larger than or equal to 10%, the content of
paeoniflorin is larger than or equal to 8%, and the content of
paeonol and the content of
paeoniflorin are obviously higher than those of commercially available peony extracts (generally paeonol is smaller than or equal to 5%), traditional ethyl
alcohol is replaced with the 1, 3-
butanediol, and therefore the paeoniflorin and paeoniflorin can be used for preparing the peony extract. The composition is low in
irritation and good in compatibility with a cosmetic matrix, and is suitable for
sensitive skin, and LD50 is greater than 2000mg / kg according to a
skin irritation test.
