The invention discloses an application of natural
plant monomer corynoxeine and a composition of the
monomer,
echinacoside and
andrographolide in preparation of whitening
cosmetics, which belong to the field of traditional Chinese medicines and
cosmetics. The corynoxeine or the composition of corynoxeine,
andrographolide and
echinacoside is used as a whitening
active component, can jointly inhibitthe generation of
melanin in
skin cells and reduce the damage of
ultraviolet (UV) to the
skin cells, also has the capacity of improving the collagen synthesis capacity of
skin fibroblasts, and has the effect of resisting
photoaging. The three monomers, namely the corynoxeine, the
andrographolide and the
echinacoside, are combined to achieve an obvious synergistic effect, the effect is remarkablyimproved, and the composition is safe and stable, and has the effects of
fading stains, whitening skin, improving the elasticity and
moisture of
human skin and resisting light aging. The
plant monomerwith the whitening effect can be used as an effective
active ingredient to be prepared into various dosage forms such as cream,
emulsion, essence, masks and spray, and is used in
cosmetics.
