Furthermore, the effect of G. maculatum liposomes on LPS-induced NO production was determined in RAW 264.7 cells. Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay.Results: G. maculatum in liposomes showed higher a cytotoxicity to B16F10 cells than G. maculatum in non-liposomes. Examination of the inhibitory effect on melanin production and tyrosinase production revealed that G. maculatum in liposomes produced a stronger whitening effect than that in non-liposomes. In addition, the experiments using RAW 264.7 cells showed that liposomes containing G. maculatum not only inhibited NO production but also resulted in higher cell viability than non-liposomes containing G. maculatum. Conclusion: Liposomescontaining G. maculatum exert an antiseptic effect through a significant inhibition of NO production. They are preferred as a cosmetic material owing to their inhibitory activity on tyrosinase and melanin production.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79857016","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}

Concomitantly, the concentrations of polyphenols and flavonoids, which are antioxidants present in Gloiopeltis furcata extract, were measured. Additionally, in cell-based experiments, the cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory activity of a water extract, which exhibited the most potent antioxidative activity among all extracts, was measured.Results: In the DPPH assay, the Gloiopeltis furcata extract exhibited an antioxidant activity of 3.576 mg of ascorbic acid/g, whereas in the ABTS assay, the antioxidant activity was 4.892 mg of ascorbic acid/g. The polyphenol concentration was found to be 35.52±2.32 mg/g, whereas the flavonoid concentration was 0.88±0.34 mg/g. Furthermore, the extract had a cytotoxicity of ≤20% at all concentrations used in the experiment, thus indicating the absence of cytotoxicity and confirming that the extract was effective in reducing inflammation proportionally to its concentration.

In order to confirm the potential application of kaki-tannin to cosmetics, the efficacy was evaluated by kakit-annin that molecular weight decreased by gamma irradiation.Methods: Kaki-tannin polymer was extracted by hydrothermal extraction from persimmon. The molecular weight of Kaki-tannin polymer reduced by gamma-ray irradiation, and then separated and purified. Further, the molecular weight of this polymer was reduced by gamma-ray irradiation; subsequently, it was separated and purified. Radical scavenging activities of this reduced molecular weight Kaki-tannin were examined by the 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) diammonium salt radical cation, and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays. Moreover, the inhibitory effects of Kaki-tannin on tyrosinase and melanin synthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells were measured in vitro. Furthermore, the expression of tyrosinase, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-1, and TRP-2 during melanogenesis was confirmed by western blotting.Results: Irradiated Kaki-tannin exhibited an antioxidant effect as well as suppressed tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis. The results of this study confirmed that the expression of tyrosinase, MITF, and TRP-2 decreased as the treatment of irradiated Kaki-tannin increased.Conclusion: In the present study, to incorporate high molecular weight Kaki-tannin in cosmetics, it was first irradiated with gamma rays in order to reduce its weight. This study confirmed that Kaki-tannin irradiated by gamma-ray has antioxidant and whitening effects as well as the potential to be used as a cosmetic material.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76656601","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}

Of late, managing customers in the hair beauty industry has been difficult because customers are always looking for new things; therefore, a haircut with a new and creative design is required. This study provides basic data on haircuts.Methods: Hair on the top of the head was divided into three sections: golden-back medium point, back-point, and back-nape medium point. Hair on the upper part of the head was cut at 0°, 30°, and 60°, and the lower part of the head was cut at 45°; however, only the hair on the upper part of the head was used for length measurement.Results: The natural procedure angle of 0° represents smooth and straight textures. In addition, the volume, weight, and expansion increase with the area. Smooth and coarse textures exhibited fine layers at 30° and natural layers at 60° simultaneously. The parallel line becomes straight; further, the A (diagonal) and the V (diagonal) lines elongate and shrink toward the face line, respectively.Conclusion: The right angle line asymmetry cut can provide freshness, liveliness, and rhythm feeling through unbalance. In addition, the length of the right side increases, resulting in a heterogeneous effect. In the future, the volume cut and length changes will be studied based on the jawline, neckline, and clavicle.","PeriodicalId":8508,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Beauty and Cosmetology","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90458280","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}
