Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for whitening comprising a Caragana sinica root extract, and more specifically relates to a cosmetic composition having an outstanding skin-whitening effect, the composition comprising a Caragana sinica root extract, a fraction thereof or ?-viniferin isolated therefrom. In the present invention, the Caragana sinica root extract, fraction thereof or ?-viniferin isolated therefrom inhibits tyrosinase activity and suppresses melanin production and is therefore effective in skin whitening.

Abstract: Provided is a cosmetic composition for skin moisturization containing a hydrolyzate extract obtained by adding a protease to the fruit of Cicer arietinum, a Rhododendron chrysanthum leaf extract and a Tricholoma matsutake extract. The cosmetic composition exhibits excellent effects on cell moisturization, intercellular moisturization and skin-barrier moisturization. In addition, the cosmetic composition is harmless to the human body and has excellent stability because it uses natural substances.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions and more particularly to skin-whitening cosmetic compositions comprising senkyunolide A as an active ingredient. The present invention discloses the novel inhibitory function of senkyunolide A isolated from Cnidium officinale and Ligusticum chuanxiong on the melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), and provides MSH-inhibitory compositions and skin-whitening cosmetic compositions comprising the senkyunolide A. The compositions of the present invention show significantly enhanced skin-whitening effect owing to its efficient inhibition of MSH even in lower concentration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pseudoceramide represented by the following formula (I) and a cosmetic composition comprising the same: wherein Z represents —OH and Y represents —OH, ?with the proviso that X is Z represents —OH and X represents —OH, with the proviso that Y is Y represents —OH and X represents —OH, with the proviso that Z is R represents a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group; and when substituted, R has one or more —OH groups.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions for inhibiting elastase activity, enhancing collagen biosynthesis and improving skin wrinkle, comprising Mallotus japonicus extract as active ingredient. The present compositions exhibit the inhibition effect on elastase activity and promotion effect on collagen biosynthesis at a molecular level, and as a result, excellent efficacy in improvement of skin wrinkles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel retinol derivative and a cosmetic composition comprising the same, in particular, to a novel retinol derivative represented by the formula (I) exhibiting the effects from both L-ascorbic acid and retinol as well as being free from the disadvantages of two compounds such as skin irritation and instability in cosmetic formulation, and a cosmetic composition comprising the retinol derivative.
