The sample was then compared with damaged hair. A color meter was used to measure the L* value to identify changes in hair brightness. In addition, tensile strength, absorbance using methylene blue, and glossiness were measured to verify improvement in damaged hair.Results: The mean L* value of the sample increased with increased oil content, which indicated a statistical difference between damaged hair and sample 8L(6). The mean tensile strengths of all the hairs in the sample bleached at level eight and with oil treatment increased when compared with those of the hairs in the untreated damaged hair cohort. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant differences in hairs 8L(2), 8L(4), and 8L(6) from the sample. The mean absorbance of all hairs in the sample increased when compared with that of the damaged hair, with significant differences noted for hairs 8L(2), 8L(4), and 8L(6) from the sample from damaged hair. Last, the mean glossiness of hairs 8L(2), 8L(4), and 8L(6) from the sample increased with significant differences.Conclusion: Statistical analyses of the mean values between damaged hair and the hairs in the sample treated with oil revealed significant differences in brightness for the hair to which 6 g of noni oil were applied [8L(6)], tensile strength, absorbance, and glossiness. This finding indicates the effects of noni oil on damaged hair in terms of quality. Further studies using a variety of oils and natural extracts in this regard are in order.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75371755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pH ranged from 3.04 to 7.18 and most samples were in an acidic state. Of these, the pH of schizandra fruit tea was the lowest at 3.04±0.01. The total flavonoid content was the highest in calamansi at 217.87±1.45 QE/g, whereas that of cacao nibs was the lowest at 29.04±0.70 QE/g. The α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of Chinese quince was the highest at 59.96%±0.22%.Conclusion: We obtained basic data for several fruit tea extracts by analyzing the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities.

The present study was performed to confirm the safety of the extract in animal replacement tests.Methods: To evaluate the safety of the extract of Padina gymnospora, the photosensitivity test (Harber test), in vitro 3T3 neutral red uptake (3T3 NRU) phototoxicity test, local lymph node assay (5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), acute oral toxicity test, and reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) test were used. All experiments followed the guidelines of the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and were conducted by a GLP-certified organization (Chemon Inc.).Results: The extract of Padina gymnospora was not photosensitive: 0% photosensitization was detected (I grade: very weak). In the 3T3 NRU phototoxicity test, the relative viability of the extract-treated cells was higher than the guideline level; thus, the extract was classified as non-phototoxic. Treatment with the extract did not trigger skin irritation in the RHE test model and did not cause skin sensitization in the local lymph node assay. Finally, oral administration of the extract to rats indicated that it was not a harmful material as the LD50 was estimated at >2,000 mg/kg.Conclusion: The ethanolic extract of Padina gymnospora was demonstrated to be safe when applied to the skin. Taken together with our previous study of its efficacy, we conclude that this extract has the potential for use as a cosmetic ingredient.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87086469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Antioxidant activity was measured using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Using real-time PCR, improvements in skin barrier function were confirmed by observing the mRNA expression levels of filaggrin and involucrin, and the moisturizing ability was confirmed through the mRNA expression of HAS-2 and HAS-3. The anti-inflammatory efficacy was verified by confirming the expression levels of the inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and the pro-inflammatory mediator nitric oxide (NO).Results: In the simultaneous analysis of 19 phenolic compounds, rosmarinic acid from lavender; chlorogenic acid, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid, and ferulic acid from lemongrass; and caffeic acid, quercitin hydrate, rosmarinic acid, and hesperetin from peppermint were identified. Antioxidant efficacy was confirmed by DPPH radical scavenging, and excellent efficacy was shown in the order of lavender, peppermint, and lemongrass. Filaggrin and involucrin, skin barrier-related genes, were increased more in lavender, lemongrass, and peppermint than in the untreated group. HAS-2 and HAS-3 were also confirmed to be increased in lavender, lemongrass, and peppermint. Lavender, lemongrass, and peppermint all showed concentration-dependent inhibition of IL-6 and NO.Conclusion: Extracts of lavender, lemongrass, and peppermint cultivated in the Namwon-Mt.Jiri regions had excellent antioxidant, skin barrier, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effects, so may be considered for use as natural raw materials for soothing cosmetics.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74494464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Second, the analysis of descriptive statistics and correlations between job stress, job satisfaction, and quality of life showed a statistically significant negative correlation with job satisfaction and quality of life for each sub-factor of job stress. Job satisfaction was found to have a statistically significant positive (+) correlation with quality of life.
