Antioxidant, Anti-Tyrosinase, and Anti-Skin Pathogenic Bacterial Activities of Corn Silk Extracts, and Stability of Corn Silk Facial Cream
Сorn silk extract showed tyrosinase inhibition, antioxidant activities, and antibacterial activities. The results revealed that skin bacteria including C. acnes and S. epidermidis were inhibited by the ethanolic extract of corn silk. The higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents were also found in the ethanolic extract. Moreover, cardiac glycosides, n-hexadecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, ethyl ester, oleic acid, and 9,12-octadecadienoic acid were identified in this extract. Cream product containing the corm silk was proven to be stable at various storage conditions. Hence, the results indicate that the application of corn silk extract has great potential to be used as an added value to cosmetic products that could play a role in anti-aging and skin-whitening.
