Research Advances on Beauty and Skin Care Effect and Mechanism of Ginsenoside CK
Ginseng(Panax ginseng C.A.Mey.)has been widely used in China for thousands of years because of its superior medicinal and health care value,especially in beauty and skin care.At present,it has become one of the most important anti-aging,whitening and skin-re-juvenating ingredients in cosmetic raw materials in China and even in the world,and has been widely used in some international cosmetic brands in recent years.To explore the application of 20(S)protopanaxadiol-20 murine O-β-D-glucopyranoside(Compound K,CK)in gin-seng in recent years,the function and mechanism of CK in cosmetology and skin care in recent years were reviewed.CK has attracted much attention because it is a deglycemic metabolite derived from diol ginsenosides,which has higher bioavailability and solubility than its parent ginsenosides,and is easier to be absorbed by human body.It is found that CK has many functions of beauty and skin care,such as light pro-tection,anti-aging,moisturizing,anti-inflammation and so on.At present the research mainly focuses on the application mechanism of CK in ant-cancer,however,there are relatively few researches on skin beauty and care.This study summarizes the funtion of CK in skin care,and focuses on the molecular mechanism of CK skin care.This paper intends to provide a reference basis for the further research and devel-opment of CK in the field of beauty and skin care in the future.
