"Eating cosmetic" market comes to prominence worldwide. Inner Beauty has established itself as the top trend nowadays and is leading the health functional food market. Another noticeable trend other than beauty-from-within is that products using "plant-based" natural botanical raw material are increasing. Based on these trends above, we have developed a plant extract named Agatri® for skin health using Agastache rugosa. By ingesting Agatri®, it is expected that the formation of skin wrinkles is suppressed, and skin elasticity is increased by suppressing the decrease in collagen content caused by ultraviolet rays. At the same time, it is possible to prevent skin aging by improving skin hydration and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). The studies show that it significantly increased production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, and decreased production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). And Agatri® has been approved as an "Individually recognized functional ingredient for skin health by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Korea in 2020. As a result, Agatri® is a good solution for those who are in need of skin protection from exposure to UV and aging.

오늘날의 사회에서는 삶의 질 향상으로 실제 나이보다 젊어 보이며 이에 따라 노화방지에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 또한 같은 나이의 사람들과 비교했을 때 본인이 젊어 보이는지에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이 연구에서 우리는 외적 노화에 가장 주요한 영향을 주는 주름 지수를 구하고자 하였다. 전체 얼굴의 주름은 8개로 분할된 영역에 의해 점수화되었고, 실제 연령과 피부 파라미터 사이의 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 연구 대상자 206명(한국인 여성 105명, 몽골 여성 101명)을 대상으로 하였다. 대상자는 연령대별로 20대, 30대, 40대, 50대를 네 군으로 나누었다. 주름 패턴은 주름, 미간, 코뿌리, 눈꺼풀, 눈밑주름, 눈꼬리, 팔자주름, 입가 8개 부위의 주름을 평가하고 주름 점수에 따른 계산식을 개발 하였다. 또한 계산식에 의해 얻어진 주름지수와 연관성 있는 피부 특성 파라미터를 알아보고자 피부 탄력, 모공, 주름, 피지 분비를 측정하였다. 방정식을 적용하여 계산한 한국인의 경우 주름연령과 실제연령과의 차이는 없었다. 반면, 몽골인에서는 실제연령과 비교하여 9세가 더 나이 들어 보인다고 밝혀졌다. 얼굴 주름 나이와 피부 특성 파라미터 사이의 상관 관계는 양국에서 피부 탄력 > 모공 또는 눈꼬리 주름 > 피부 색 > 피지 분비 순으로 나타났다. 피부 탄력은 얼굴 주름 나이와 가장 관련이 있는 변수로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 한국과 몽골 여성의 연령별 피부 주름 패턴을 규명하였으며, 이 연구로부터 개발된 주름살 계산식을 향후 화장품의 효능 연구에서 얼굴 주름의 나이를 계산하는 도구로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference about pathogenesis of skin type. the theory that explains each individual react to certain stress is generally accepted in traditional oriental medicine. The aim of this experiment is to find out relationship between the effect of facial condition and the vital conditions of traditional Oriental medicine. We recognized that pattern identification of fluid-humor could be divided into 4 different groups. The reason is that the fluid-humor could be interpreted as Qi & Blood, furthermore Qi & Blood were categorized into deficiency and excess groups. Korean female volunteers in good health participated in this experiment. Three doctors of Oriental medicine classified them into 4 groups based on qi-blood and deficiency-excess concept(qi-deficiency; qi-excess:qi-stagnation; blood-deficiency; blood-excess:static-blood). Volunteers were assessed with non-invasive skin measuring devices. And we analyzed the correlation of skin physiological parameters with vital conditions; moisture, sebum and elasticity. Measurement moisture and sebum of facial skin tended to deacease only in static blood group.

Objectives: Artemisiae Annuae Herba is the dried aerial part of Artemisia annua L. (AAL). In Oriental medicine, Artemisiae Annuae Herba (AAH) is traditionally used to treat fever. AAH clears summerheat or damp-Heat, clears deficiency fevers, cools the blood and stops bleeding, stops malarial disorders and relieves heat, clears liver heat and brightens the eyes. Recently, there were many studies about effects of AAH on anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, hair growth and plasma lipid composition. So, we expected AAH has an availability that can effect on skin whitening and elasticity. Methods: The present study was designed to investigate the effects of AAH on skin whitening and elasticity in SK-MEL-2 cells. In this experiment, the effects of AAH on proliferation rates, melanin synthesis, tyrosinase activities and production levels of tyrosinase, MMP-1 and MMP-9 in vitro were examined. Results: AAH did not affect viability of SK-MEL-2 cells and inhibited melanin synthesis induced by ${\alpha}$-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (${\alpha}$-MSH) significantly. In addition, AAH also inhibited tyrosinase activity and lowered tyrosinase level in SK-MEL-2 cells. Finally, AAH inhibited productions of Matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Conclusions: These data suggest that AAH can be used to treat patients with skin diseases such as freckled face and also used as skin whitening agent.
