现在已有越来越多的取自动物或植物的天然物质应用于化妆品,这些萃取物的生理作用已经一些实验确证。日本御木本制药公司从海洋生物珍珠贝壳中萃取出贝壳硬蛋白用作化妆品内的有效组分。他们还从蓼科植物大黄与腰果壳油中分离得作粗性药用成分的物质,它们能抑制酪氨酸酶的活性,它们的结构亦已经过鉴定。日本科研人员确证衍生自腰果壳油组分 Nowadays, more and more natural substances derived from animals or plants have been applied to cosmetics. The physiological effects of these extracts have been confirmed by some experiments. Japan’s Mikimoto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. extracted shellfish protein from marine shells for use as an effective ingredient in cosmetics.
