Preferably, the composition is used to treat a disease or condition of skin relating to a filaggrin metabolism anomaly, and has an effect of eliminating itches and pains based on inhibition of histamine release and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 activity, an effect of regulating excessive immune response based on inhibition of cytokine generation, and an effect of normalizing epidermis formation based on acceleration of filaggrin synthesis. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
