Developed cosmetic ingredients from FANCL and Kirin's "aged hop extract"

 FANCL Corporation and Kirin Holdings Co., Ltd. announced on August 20 that the "aged hop extract" developed by Kirin has been successfully used as a raw material for cosmetics and has a new function of "improving the condition of pores".

First, regarding the use of the extract as a cosmetic raw material, the effects of the "aged hop extract-containing cosmetic raw material" on each of keratin and sebum were investigated with respect to "clogging of keratin plugs".

As a result, it was confirmed that keratin, which is the main component of keratin, swells about 3 times in the developed raw material compared to purified water. From this, it is expected that the formulation of "aged hop extract", which is used as a raw material for cosmetics, will soften the keratin and make it easier to remove keratin plugs.

Next, in order to confirm the antioxidant effect of sebum of "aged hop extract-containing cosmetic raw material", it was added to linoleic acid, which is one of the constituents of sebum, and the degree of production of lipid peroxide was measured.

As a result of comparing the degree of lipid peroxide production with the case where nothing was added (control / control), the "aged hop extract-containing cosmetic raw material" suppressed the degree of linoleic acid lipid peroxide to about 1/14.

Regarding this result, it was considered that the antioxidant effect is equivalent to that of general lipid antioxidants such as dibutylhydroxytoluene (BHT), butylhydroxyanisole (BHA), and α-tocopherol.
