COSMETIC COMPOSITION BLOCKING SREBP-1 PRODUCTION AND ACTIVATION

摘要

A cosmetic composition is provided to inhibit the amount of sebum produced from sebocytes by inhibiting the formation and activity of SREBP-1(Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein-1), thereby capable of effectively improving sebum metabolism and acne. A cosmetic composition comprises 0.001-30 wt.% of at least one selected from the group consisting of catechin such as epigallocatechin gallate(EGCG), gallocatechin gallate(GCG) and a mixture thereof and flavonols such as quercetin, kaempferol and myricetin as effective ingredients and is characterized in that it inhibit the formation and activity of SREBP-1 which is a transcription factor.
