Abstract:

In order to explore the effect of safflower and its compound extract with peach gum on skin microcirculation and the application prospect of cosmetics raw materials, after extracting the active components of safflower and its complex with peach gum, laser Doppler detection technique and biological infrared thermal imaging technique were adopted in order to compare the data changes of blood perfusion, infrared temperature, skin roughness, moisture content, transepidermal water loss and skin condition of the subjects before and after use. The results show that the amount of skin blood flow, facial temperature, skin moisture content, transepidermal water loss and skin scale index of the subjects are increased after 7 days with the application of safflower extract and the extract complex of safflower and peach gum. In addition, the extract of safflower decreases the amount of cell shedding, while the compound extract of safflower and peach gum increased the amount of cell shedding. It indicates that safflower contains an active substance capable of improving and promoting skin microcirculation, and has a function of promoting skin microcirculation after being compounded with peach gum, which can be used as a cosmetic additive.
