EXTRACTS OF HALIMIONE PORTULACOIDES AND THEIR APPLICATION

摘要

New extracts are suggested of Halimione portulacoides or sea purslane, and related species of Halimione, obtainable by treating the said plant with a solvent selected from the group consisting of C₁-C₄ aliphatic alcohols, ethyl acetate, water or their mixtures, removing the dissolved extracts from the residues and recovering the pure extracts from the solvent. The extracts show excellent properties particularly in modulating the metabolism of human skin and hair follicles.
