Abstract:

The best mixing ratio of Rhodiola rosea extract and Panax ginseng extract was determined, and this mixture was used as a raw material to prepare a lotion. The process was optimized by orthogonal experiment. The antioxidant and whitening effects of the lotion were studied by DPPH, ABTS, PTIO free radical scavenging tests, measurement of total flavonoid content, mouse B16 melanoma cell test, tyrosinase and melanin inhibition tests, and melanocyte oxidative stress-related protein expression test. The results showed that, when the ratio of Rhodiola rosea extract to Panax ginseng extract in the lotion was 5∶3, the optimal formula was obtained. The optimized conditions were emulsification temperature of 80 ℃, emulsification time of 20 min, and emulsification speed of 4 000 r/min. The total flavonoid content of the lotion thus obtained was 1.84 mg/mL.The scavenging rates for DPPH, ABTS and PTIO free radicals were 40.17%, 48.27% and 38.22%, respectively. The inhibition rates on tyrosinase and melanin were 40.49% and 35.64%, respectively. The expression of oxidative stress-related proteins was high in the middle- and high-dose groups. Therefore, the lotion containing Rhodiola rosea and Panax ginseng had good antioxidant activity and whitening efficacy.

Key words: Rhodiola rosea, Panax ginseng, lotion, anti-oxidant, whitening
