COSMETIC OR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING AN EXTRACT OF PLANTS OF GENUS FILICIUM, AND USE OF SAID EXTRACT FOR STIMULATING GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN SYNTHESIS

摘要

A cosmetic or pharmaceutical and particularly dermatological composition including, as the active ingredient, an extract of plants of genus Filicium, and particularly an extract of plants of species Filicium decipiens, preferably in an amount of 0.0001-3 wt % based on the total weight of the final composition. Said composition has the property of stimulating the production of glycosaminoglycans in the skin, both in the dermis and in the epidermis, and may be used for skin and hair care, in particular given its moisturising activity. Said extracts may also be used for stimulating glycosaminoglycan synthesis in cell culture media, particularly keratinocyte and fibroblast culture media.
