A composition characterized by containing silymarins, (i.e., a general term for flavonolignans such as silybin, silydianin, silychristin and siosilybin) and having an effect of promoting the production of type I collagen and/or elastin; and a composition characterized in that silymarins contained therein originate from a silymarin-containing plant and/or an extract of the plant and having an effect of promoting the production of type I collagen and/or elastin. |
