Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the effects of alcoholic fermentation extract from ovary and rind of pear on human skin.
Methods: We investigated the effects of samples on human skin in terms of clinical trial. 32 of healthy volunteers, who lived in mokpo participated in clinical trial. Effects of sample on hygroscopicity and water-holding capacity were investigated. Sebum, moisture, scabrousness and desquamation were also investigated. Facial massages were conducted 8 times in each volunteers.
Results: Single treatment group showed elevated levels of hygroscopicity (Normal : 106.42.1%, vs Pear : 114.16.2) and water-holding capacity (Normal : 87.14.4%, vs Pear : 96.21.3) on forearm of 16 volunteers respectively. In addition, massage group using sample showed elevated moisture (Control : 3.85.8%, vs Sample : 15.24.7%) and lowered scabrousness levels (Control : -12.34.4%, vs Sample : -22.05.2%) significantly. However, the levels of sebum did not affected by sample.
Conclusions: These result suggest that alcoholic fermentation extract from ovary and rind of pear has moisturizing effect on human skin.
