Abstract

Skin aging is a process most often attributed to UV [1] and also to the use of creams and other cosmetic products low in antioxidant compounds [2]. Photochemically stable pepo Cucurbita oil can be used as an exogenous cosmetic supplement due to its high antioxidant content. Incorporated in an agar, media containing a synthetic melanin solution with added pumpkin oil are subjected to UV light, the aging thus modeled is followed by the measurement of photoresistance values correlated with chemical and spectrophotometric analyses. This study confirms that pumpkin oil is highly effective in protecting the skin, especially the most sensitive skins such as babies’ skin [3] by reinforcing the action of melanin and also that of albinos without melanin. Indeed its SPF (Significant Sun Protection Factor) index estimated during this work is very consistent, i.e. more than 22% of UVB (280 - 315 nm) radiations are suppressed.
使用瓜籽油对抗紫外线对皮肤的作用
皮肤老化是一个通常归因于紫外线的过程[1],也归因于使用低抗氧化化合物的面霜和其他化妆品[2]。光化学稳定的瓜油因其抗氧化剂含量高,可作为外源性化妆品补充剂。将加入南瓜油的合成黑色素溶液放入琼脂中,在紫外光下进行老化模拟,然后测量与化学和分光光度分析相关的光阻值。本研究证实,南瓜油具有非常有效的保护皮肤,特别是最敏感的皮肤,如婴儿皮肤[3],可以增强黑色素的作用,也可以增强无黑色素的白化皮肤的作用。事实上,在这项工作中估计的SPF(显著防晒系数)指数非常一致,即超过22%的UVB (280 - 315 nm)辐射被抑制。
