| Research Abstract |
Red Ginseng (ginsenoside Rb_1), turmeric, olive leaf extract (main component, oleuropein), Scutellariae radix (main component, baiclein and wogonin) inhibited the increase in skin thickness and wrinkle, and the reduction in skin elasticity induced by UVB irradiation. It is clarified that the inhibitory action of these substances may be due to the inhibition of the levels of MMPs and COX-2 expression, VEGF production, and DNA damage. Among these substances, we found that oleuropein inhibited the chronic UVB irradiation-induced skin carcinogenesis.
