Description

Use of a starfish extract for the preparation of a composition for reducing ultraviolet stains, skin primary purpura production, and sebum secretion

The present invention provides a use of a composition for reducing ultraviolet stains, skin primary purpura production, and sebum secretion, and more particularly to a use of a starfish extract for preparing a composition for reducing ultraviolet stains, skin primary purpura production, and sebum secretion. .

There are abundant marine resources in the intertidal zone of Penghu. Among them, Archaster typicus is a fast-growing, vigorous and non-toxic organism. The starfish has strong reproductive ability and tenacious vitality, and has amazing regenerative ability. It can not only regenerate the broken wrist and foot, but also regenerate a complete new individual from the broken wrist and foot. The starfish's wrist and body plate are damaged. Or self-cutting, it can naturally regenerate.

The generation of UV spots is the enemy of the skin, which is caused by sun exposure. When the skin is exposed to ultraviolet light, the skin protects the skin from UV rays, and the melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis are stimulated to produce melanin pigments that absorb ultraviolet rays to protect the skin from the skin. Injury, which causes the complexion to turn black. At this time, if the metabolism is strong, the melanin pigment will be discharged when the epidermis is peeled off. Once the metabolism is slow, or the ultraviolet damage is too high, the melanin pigment is not completely discharged, and the melanin pigment cannot be completely discharged. Forming UV spots visible to the naked eye, and in severe cases It is possible to spread the whole.

Acne can also be called acne, acne, acne, acne, in fact, is a disease of hair follicle inflammation, the official name is "acne." Acnes (Propionibacterium) are anaerobic gram-positive bacteria, when blocked hair follicles, the hair follicles become less oxygen microenvironment inside, so that the anaerobic acne bacteria multiply and secrete enzymes decompose sebum into free fatty acids, It causes strong irritation to the skin, induces an inflammatory reaction in the hair follicle, and forms acne. Porphyrin is a substance secreted by the acne bacillus that accumulates in the pores and causes the formation of acne.

Sebum is a fat that is secreted by the sebaceous glands of the dermis on the surface of the skin and is responsible for the moisturizing function of the skin. Sebum and water act through the normal bacteria of the epidermis to form a slightly acidic sebum membrane, which allows the stratum corneum to have a water-locking function, so that the epidermis does not lack water to cause dry peeling. There are many hair follicle microorganisms such as acne bacteria, white staphylococcus, dandruff hair bacillus, hair follicle aphids in the normal hair follicle sebaceous glands, and the excessive growth of hair follicle microorganisms will produce free fatty acids to stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete sebum. At the same time, sebum secretion disorders often occur during periods of illness, stress, and decreased immunity.

Therefore, reducing the generation of UV stains, the production of native purple pigments and the secretion of sebum are important topics for skin care. The most common way to reduce the generation of UV stains is to use sunscreen products. Generally, sunscreen products can be divided into physical and chemical products. Sex. Physical sunscreens reflect ultraviolet light. The advantage is that they are mild and non-irritating. The disadvantage is that the texture is more oily, and too much oil can increase the burden on the skin and even lead to the production of acne. Chemically, it absorbs ultraviolet light and converts it into a substance that does not harm the skin. The advantage is that it is refreshing and not greasy. The disadvantage is that it may be more irritating or even cause allergies, which may cause inflammation of the sweat gland duct. Therefore, there is currently no product on the market that is non-irritating and can effectively reduce the generation of ultraviolet stains while preventing the production of acne.

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a use of a starfish extract for the preparation of a composition for reducing ultraviolet stains, skin primary purpura production, and sebum secretion. The starfish extract improves ultraviolet stains, porphyrin secreted by propionibacterium , and sebum secretion.
