Methanol extract (1.0 wt%) of Scutellaria baicalensis GEORGE satisfied preservation standard of CTFA (The Cosmetics, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association) against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Escherichia coli) which were inoculated in skin lotion. The extracts also showed high superoxide dismutase-like activity even at a low concentration (0.01 wt%). Extract of S. baicalensis GEORGE (5.0 wt%) combined with extract of Liriope platyphylla also satisfied the CTFA standard for the above four strains. A cream containing the extract of L. platyphylla maintained skin moisture content for 6 hours after application. The result suggests that extract of L. platyphylla does not hinder the preservation activity of S. baicalensis GEORGE, while supplementing moisture to the cosmetics. |
