Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the cosmetic applicability of extract from snow tea, native to Lijiang, Yunnan-province, China. After confirming the species as N. grossedentata through DNA analysis of Lijiang snow tea, experiments were conducted using representative tea, green tea, and a representative control group for each efficacy analysis. Both teas were extracted using 70% (v/v) ethanol aqueous solution. The polyphenol content in the Lijiang snow tea extract (gallic acid equivalent, 23.9 ± 3.2 mg/mL) was higher than that in green tea extract (16.4 ± 2.3 mg/mL). In contrast, the antioxidant (Radical scavenging, IC50 104 ㎍/mL), tyrosinase enzyme inhibitory (whitening agent, IC50 40.7 ㎍/mL), and Escherichia coli growth inhibitory (preservative) activities (IC50 2.85 mg/mL) were analyzed based on the solid content in the extract, and it was confirmed that the activities of Lijiang snow tea extract were superior to those of green tea extract (radical scavenging, IC50 234 ㎍/mL. It also showed similar efficacy to previously used active substances such as antioxidants (vitamin C, IC50 108 ㎍/mL), whitening agents (vitamin C, IC50 80㎍/mL), and preservatives (methylparaben, IC50 4.35 mg/mL). However, green tea was found to be better in collagenase inhibition activity (anti-wrinkle). Through this study, the cosmetic application potential of Lijiang snow tea is high.
