This study demonstrates antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Sargentodoxa cuneata, highlighting its potential as a cosmetic ingredient.
Key Points
Sargentodoxa cuneata stem extract shows strong antioxidant effects comparable to L-ascorbic acid, providing a natural solution against oxidative stress.
Ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions significantly reduce inflammation markers NO and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, indicating potential for skin care.
The extract displays promising whitening effects, particularly through the water fraction, which inhibits tyrosinase activity significantly.
Astringent and collagenase-inhibiting properties make Sargentodoxa cuneata a multifunctional candidate for cosmetic formulations.
