A Research for the Development of Beauty Functional Materials of Ethanol Extract of Agrimonia pilosa
ABSTRACT
The development of a variety of cosmetic and beauty is being promoted as our understanding of the
dermatology in differentiation of skin cells, the identification of aging, and the development of artificial skin
cells, has advanced with the brilliant development of biotechnology. In this study, we examined the function
of physiological act from outposts of Agrimonia pilosa extracted by ethanol. Electron donating ability was
increased in proportion to the concentration of the antioxidant activity. When we measured polyphenols and
flavonoids contents of Agrimonia pilosa , the result was respectively 105.1±1.5, 32.8±2.7 mg/ml. Cytotoxicity
was not found under 50 μg/ml in concentration. The protective effect about damaged HaCaT cells by hydrogen
peroxide increased in a dose dependent. And measuring anti-inflammatory activity , we could also know that
NO production was significantly reduced within the concentration range. Thus, ethanol extract of Agrimonia
pilosa was identified as a beauty functional material.
