Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising piperonylic acid as an effective ingredient for anti-aging or regenerating the skin. A composition according to the present invention utilizes piperonylic acid that various plant species naturally contain therein and thus does not cause side effects. Piperonylic acid activates signals associated with cell survival, growth, and proliferation to exhibit the effect of increasing the resistance and survival of skin cells against external stimuli and enhancing the regeneration of the skin damaged due to external stimuli or senescence. In addition, piperonylic acid of the present invention has a similar function to EGF, but is stable and small in size in contrast to EGF. Thus, piperonylic acid of the present invention has the advantage of being able to easily move to the skin basal layer across the skin barrier and perform its function.
