Abstract:

A herb composite extract VGP which consisted of Vitex trifolia fruit, Gentiana scabra, and Polygonum multiflorum root was prepared and its anti-inflammatory effect was studied by several methods. The results showed that on the model of NHEK and THP1 cell inflammation induced by Malassezia furfur and H2O2, VGP could inhibit the expressions of interleukin 6 (IL-6), prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) in a dosage-dependent manner in the concentration range of 0.01%-0.125%. In the human skin injury model caused by high concentration of H2O2, VGP at the concentrations of 0.5% and 2% could reduce the formation of erythema and blisters and relieve pruritus. Therefore, as a natural active ingredient VGP could play a role in scalp care and skin care by targeting inflammation.

Key words: cosmetic additive, herb composite extract, anti-inflammation, scalp care
