인삼 유래 나노 엑소좀 화장품 성분이 30～50대 여성의 피부 상태 개선에 미치는 효과

Exosomes, extracellular vesicles, contain a variety substances derived from cells. They influence cell metabolism by delivering information to other cells. Hence, this study proposes their potential for use in diagnosing or treating diseases. Recently, the bio-vesicles have been utilized not only as cosmetic ingredients but also in pharmaceutical and bioengineering applications. Concurrently, studies have focused on exosomes derived from diverse types of plants. However, it has proven challenging to find studies that specifically investigate the effects of exosomes as cosmetic materials through clinical trials. Under these circumstances, this study sought to examine the impact of ginseng-derived exosomes on human skin through clinical trials. A total of 22 individuals participated in the research study, with 11 participants assigned to each control and experimental group, respectively. The experimental group received three different cosmetics containing 0.1% exosomes, while the control group was provided with three cosmetics devoid of any exosomes. These were administered in the morning and evening daily over a period of 6 weeks. Subsequently, changes in skin conditions were analyzed, and the results revealed the following findings: In the control group, no significant skin changes were observed. Conversely, in the experimental group, improvements were noted in pore conditions, wrinkles, and skin coarseness. Additionally, enhancements were observed in skin moisture and brightness. In contrast, no changes were found in UV-induced pigmentation and skin redness. Consequently, it appears that exosomes are valuable as cosmetic ingredients, as they have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing wrinkles, tightening pores, improving skin moisture and texture, and brightening the skin.
