Claims3
A method for suppressing hair graying, in a subject in need thereof, comprising applying to the subject a composition comprising at least one active ingredient selected from the group consisting of 27-deoxyactein, lysionotin, nitidine chloride, lanosterol, engeletin, specnuezhenide, praeruptorin B, rotundic acid, sesamoside, polygalacin D, momordin Ic, valechlorine, tussilagone, periplocin, polyphyllin VII and platycodin D2 in an effective amount to activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling system to promote melanic synthesis in hair, and thereby suppressing hair graying in the subject.
A method for suppressing hair graying in a subject in need thereof, comprising applying to the subject a composition consisting of:
- (i) an effective amount of escin to activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling system to promote melanic synthesis in hair for suppressing hair graying;
- and (ii) a conventional carrier or additive for formulating the composition, and thereby suppressing hair graying in the subject.
