Radical scavenging DPPH and ABTS assays were performed. Skin keratinocytes (HaCat cells) was assessed by the MTT assay, and the moisturizing effect was evaluated through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Temperature and storage conditions were checked for the stability of the formulation. In the human body application test, Moisture Meter D Compact device was used.Results: The CH-γ-CD-Fu (Nanogel) has confirmed particle size of approximately 500 nm. In the DPPH and ABTS assays, compared with Fu (foucoidan), the CH-γ-CD-Fu (nanogel) showed higher scavenging ability at treatment concentration of 15.625–500 μg/mL. CH-γ-CD-Fu (Nanogel) showed a survival rate of >80% in skin keratinocytes (HaCat cells) up to a concentration of 5,000 μg/mL. In the measurement of hyaluronic acid production, CH-γ-CD-Fu (Nanogel) showed better production at 194.87 ng/mL than at 121.47 ng/mL at a concentration of 200 μg/mL in the control group. The stability of skin and cream formulations of anti-aging cosmetics containing MARINAVI-FD was confirmed. The moisturizing effect was observed 2.5 mm depth of skin human application.Conclusion: In this study, CH-γ-CD-Fu (nanogel) was used to materialize into anti-aging cosmetics.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135720848","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 highest level of antioxidant activity was observed in the peel of Soldam plum dried for 18 h.Conclusion: Optimal physiological activity in the peel of Soldam is achieved when it is dried for 18 h using hot air. In future product development utilizing dried Soldam plum, an 18 h drying period is recommended. Additionally, further research should explore enzyme activity and anti-inflammatory properties in addition to antioxidant activity.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135720850","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 upper part of the head was used for the graduated cut with a head angle of 75°, and the lower part was used for the uniform layer cut with a head angle of 90°. Slice line A, parallel line, and V-line were applied only to the top of the head. The cut was started based on the sites 15, 20, and 25 cm from the nape point.Results: The A line became longer as the hair length reached the face line. Consequently, the face and neck lines were covered, and the weight, volume, and expansion were increased. The V-line became shorter, as the hair length reached the face line. Thus, the face and neck lines are prominent, and the volume feeling is increased because of the curling phenomenon. As the point of the head area division increased, the hair length became shorter, and volume and vitality increased. As the point of the head area division went down, the hair length became longer, and the volume, weight, and expansion increased. A graduated high angle of treatment was formed by the lightness at the bottom and the volume by the weight line at the top. The uniform layer showed a rough texture with rhythm, lightness, and round shape.Conclusion: The top and golden points where the head shape protrudes during cutting should be cut more precisely. The cut line is not slick as the incline is severe. Combing and posture are more important than cutting. When combing once, exercise care when combing from the roots, and during cutting, stand in front of the body while changing the body’s position. This study verified creative haircuts.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135720856","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}

In addition, it is meaningful to provide basic data on haircuts by demonstrating the design and length changes according to head area division, angle, and slice line.Methods: It is divided into upper and lower parts starting from golden back medium point, back point, and back nape medium point. 10 cm at the upper point, diagonal (V) line on the left, diagonal (A) line on the right, celestial axis of 0°, and a head angle of 20°, and 40° were used.Results: LGBM1 and LB1 were observed as two-block asymmetrical cuts, expressing rhythm, mystery, liveliness, dynamic, and freshness. However, LBNM1 was observed only asymmetrically. Since the asymmetrical cut is different from left to right, a heterogeneous phenomenon appeared. Regular asymmetry is thought to provide dynamism, liveliness, rhythm, and freshness expressed as harmonious beauty of order and balance. In addition, since the slice line is started from the side, it is considered that the slope is less than that starting from the back. One length symbolizes smoothness, orderliness, and heaviness, and the gradation has both a smooth texture and rough texture.Conclusion: Asymmetrical cuts can provide freshness, mystery, dynamism, liveliness, and rhythm through imbalance. In other words, the asymmetrical cut can be balanced and harmonized with creative effects. In future studies, it is expected that studies on the mixed form of gradation and uniform layer cut, volume cut, and design form of the front of the head and the temporal area of the head will be conducted.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79306295","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}
