For the experiment, to develop new materials for cosmetics, the Celosia cristata L. plant extracts were used for physiological effect and cosmetics application research. The Celosia cristata L. is a Korean traditional variety grown. To investigate the effects of Water and Ethanol extracts of Celosia cristata L. on skin anti-aging, we measured anti-aging activity and skin wrinkles. To measure the synthesis of collagen, ELISA experiment using HDF cell was performed. This showed that both extracts significantly raised collagen synthesis in a dose-dependent manner. In the assessment of skin wrinkles using human specimen, Celosia cristata L. had an excellent improving effect. From the above results, it is referred that Celosia cristata L. water and ethanol extracts appears to have potent anti-aging activity. In conclusion, results of the current study indicate that Celosia cristata L. can be used for dietary and pharmaceutical purposes. If Celosia cristata L. extracts should be manufactured into a cosmetic product, this will be usefuly applied to the development of excellent skin wrinkles cosmetic product.
