Abstract: The present invention relates to a compounding ingredients for basic cosmetics and basic cosmetics containing the compounding ingredients which contain enzymes or hydrolysis products of nucleoprotein and/or DNA or RNA, or deoxy oligonucleotide, deoxy mononucleotide, oligopeptide, oligonucleotide mononucleotide separated from the hydrolysis products, or at least two kinds of mixtures selected from the hydrolysis products or compounds as active ingredients. Because the active ingredients such as deoxy oligonucleotide and others have comparatively small molecular weights, they are easy to be absorbed percutaneously, and when they are percutaneously absorbed, they exhibit cellular stimulating effects and blood circulation promoting effects, and therefore, in the event that they are applied to the facial skin, they marvelously prevent skin roughness, blotches, freckles, wrinkles, etc. and exhibit superb skin-lightening effects.

Abstract: It is intended to provide compounding ingredients for cosmetics for improving skinditch density and cosmetics. The present invention provides compounding ingredients for cosmetics containing, as an active ingredient, nucleoprotein and/or DNA or RNA enzymatic or hydrolytic degradation product(s), a deoxyoligonucleotide, deoxymononucleotide, oligopeptide, oligonucleotide, or mononucleotide separated from the degradation product, or a mixture of at least two members selected from the degradation products and the compounds, and cosmetics containing the compounding ingredients for cosmetics. The active ingredients such as the deoxyoligonucleotide have a relatively small molecular weight and as such, are easily transdermally absorbed. The transdermally absorbed active ingredients promote skin cellular regeneration or activation.
