  • Publication number: 20170007534
    Abstract: A chayote fruit cell fluid, an extraction method of the chayote fruit cell fluid, a skincare and wrinkle-smoothing composition including the chayote fruit cell fluid and a method of preparing wrinkle-smoothing composition are disclosed. The extraction method of the chayote fruit cell fluid includes: squeezing a chayote fruit to obtain chayote fruit juice; filtering the chayote fruit juice for a first time; setting the filtered chayote fruit juice at room temperature for a period; and filtering the resultant chayote fruit juice for a second time to obtain the chayote fruit cell fluid. The method extracts the chayote fruit cell fluid from fresh chayote in a low-temperature process to provide better skincare and wrinkle-smoothing effects and maximize the natural activity of the chayote fruit.
