Abstract:

This paper aimed to study the skincare efficacy and safety of Rhodiola rosea extract. The antioxidant effect of Rhodiola rosea extract was verified through DPPH free radical scavenging experiment. The results show that within a certain concentration range, Rhodiola rosea extract can effectively eliminate DPPH free radicals and reactive oxygen species, which plays a protective role on the cells damaged by oxidation, and has a certain antioxidant effect. The effect of Rhodiola rosea extract on maintaining skin elasticity was verified through the inhibition rate of elastase, and Rhodiola rosea extract can effectively inhibit elastase activity. The inhibitory effect of Rhodiola rosea extract on melanogenesis was verified through the inhibition rate of tyrosinase activity and the elimination rate of melanin in mouse melanoma cells. Rhodiola rosea extract can significantly inhibit tyrosinase activity, delay melanogenesis, and has potential whitening effects. The safety of Rhodiola rosea extract was verified through a repeated open application test on human skin. The results show that no adverse skin reactions occurred after 48 hours, indicating that within a certain concentration range, Rhodiola rosea extract has no irritating effect on human skin.

Key words: Rhodiola rosea, skin care, antioxidant, safety
