| Abstract | Thai Traditional Medicine believes that human body is composed of four elements. It also mentions that skin problemsrelated to each element can be alleviated by using suitable plants. This study aimed to determine the bioactivities related to skineffects of Aloe vera, Cucumis sativus, Alpinia galanga and Phyllanthus emblica. The plants were extracted with 50% ethanolprior to bioactivity evaluation. The highest anti-oxidant activity (IC50, 14.01 ?g/ml) was found for P. emblica. Tyrosinaseinhibition was found with P. emblica (41.92% inhibition) and A. vera (26.67% inhibition) at 500 ?g/ml concentrations. The cellstreated with 500 ?g/ml A. vera and 15.62 ?g/ml P. emblica had after 48 h increased collagen type-1 production by around 14 and4 -fold from those of untreated cells. Anti-glycation was found with P. emblica. P. emblica, A. galanga and C. sativus at 62.5?g/ml exhibited anti-inflammatory activity. This information supports evidence based use of these plants as food and cosmeticingredients. |
