Sohakuhi Extract BG-100 |
Mulberries naturally grow everywhere in Japan
and planted for silk raising. Sohakuhi is
obtained from the dried skin of the root. As Sohakuhi was listed in the oldest Chinese
medical book or Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing,
it
is applied for anti-bronchitis and
anti-asthma
because the material is effective for
resolution,
diuresis, antipyretic action and analgesic
action. In the meantime Sohakuhi has been recognized as a whitening agent recently because it contains some component which evidently whitens human skin. Sohakuhi is expected to be a cosmetic material for the purpose of whitening skin. Sohakuhi contains phenylflavonoid. Phenylflavonoid has a component which inhibits the activation of tyrosinase. As tyrosinase which causes freckles does not act, human skin is free from freckles and kept from darkening. On the other hand Sohakuhi has been also recognized for anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects in its water soluble structure. |
