Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the title safe promoter causing no side effects even if used for a long period of time, containing, as active ingredient, endotheline. CONSTITUTION:The objective promoter useful for the color tone improvement or blackening of the skin and hair, having the above-mentioned effects, can be obtained by formulating (A) an emulsified dermal cosmetic or hair cosmetic with (B) pref. 0.002-1.0wt.% of endotheline, as active ingredient, produced by vascular endothelial cells. For endotheline, there are four kinds of analogues differing in amino acid composition from one another; among them, type I or II endotheline is preferable.

[Prior art] Melanin produced by melanin-producing cells present in skin tissue (epidermis or hair) is transferred to keratinocytes,
It is supplied and distributed to tissues as keratinocytes proliferate and differentiate. The color tone of the tissue is determined by the quantitative and qualitative differences in melanin supplied and dispersed to the tissue at this time. It has become clear that such melanin pigment production mechanism is skillfully controlled by endogenous and exogenous factors. These phenomena can be recognized as sunburn caused by ultraviolet irradiation on a daily basis.
