Purpose: This study aimed to extract phyto DNA from the adventitious root of Aloe vera and confirm its role in improving and regenerating skin and antiaging properties caused by blue light.Methods: Phyto DNA was extracted and a complex containing polylysine and Poly (amidoamine) was made. The antioxidant activity was confirmed using the DPPH method. The MTT test was performed on fibroblasts. The expression of SOD1, FLG, LOR, COL1A1, and MMP1 was measured using RT–PCR after blue light irradiation on HaCaT cells. The wound-healing test was performed. A phyto DNA complex cream formulation was created. Using this method, skin epidermal water loss was determined after human application.Results: At 0.85% of the cation polymer–phyto DNA complex concentration, 100% of fibroblasts survived. At 0.1% concentration, the antioxidant effect was 93%. After being exposed to blue light, only 40.4% of fibroblasts survived, but after being treated with a 100 μg/mL complex, 80.5% survived. At a mineral–cation-phyto DNA complex ratio of 10:1, the expression of skin barrier factors was highest. About 95.7% of HaCaT cells regenerated at 10:1 ratio of the mineral with phyto DNA complex in comparison to complex with only the minerals without phyto DNA.Conclusion: Phyto DNA from aloe vera’s adventitious root has no cytotoxicity, has excellent DPPH free radical scavenging ability, and can mitigate blue light cytotoxicity. It can improve skin barrier function by increasing the expression of barrier factors via a synergistic action in a specific ratio composition of phyto DNA, cationic polymer, and mineral complexes.

Purpose: Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation causes extrinsic aging of human skin. It is believed that UV irradiation caused aging phenomena such as skin erythema, wrinkle formation, and skin elasticity reduction.Methods: The effect of Sargassum patens extract on COL1A1 and MMP1 production in normal human dermal fibroblasts was investigated as a potential cosmetic raw material.Results: In this study, I assessed how Sargassum patens extract affected COL1A1/COL3A1/MMP1/SODs/Catalase mRNA expression and protein production of Collagen, type I and MMP1. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction demonstrated that the Sargassum patens extract increased the mRNA levels of COL1A1/COL3A1/SOD2/CAT genes. Additionally, when compared to UVA-treated dermal fibroblasts, collagen and type I protein increased in Sargassum patens extract-treated conditions. Furthermore, MMP1 mRNA and secreted MMP1 protein expression were reduced by Sargassum patens extract treatment. According to these findings, Sargassum patens extract increased antiaging and antioxidative effects in dermal fibroblasts.Conclusion: Therefore, I identified the antiaging effects of Sargassum patens extract, and these findings indicated that Sargassum patens could be a pharmaceutical ingredient for skin antiaging. Based on this, I expected to conduct additional research on Sargassum patens extract for cellular mechanisms.

Purpose: This study aims to verify the reactions of nail service consumers to indecisiveness during the service purchase process and the effect of indecisiveness on purchase intention and purchase delay. Moreover, it examines whether consumers’ indecisiveness affects their purchase intentions and purchase delay differently depending on the content of message framing presented by service providers. Finally, this study provides implications for nail shops to improve consumer satisfaction and their business performance through efficient and empirical data.Methods: A total of 621 questionnaires were distributed to women who experienced indecisiveness while using nail services or who suffered from chronic indecisiveness. Finally, 414 questionnaires were utilized, excluding 207 questionnaires that were unsuitable or inappropriate for the study. SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 were utilized for frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, structural equation model analysis, and χ2 difference verification.Results: Findings confirmed that indecisiveness during the service purchase process has a significant effect on purchase intention and purchase delay among consumers of nail services. In addition, the message framing presented by the service provider was found to partially moderate the relationship between indecisiveness, purchase intention, and purchase delay of nail service consumers, depending on the message framing content.Conclusion: Consumers’ indecisiveness had a significant effect on their purchase intention and purchase delay. Therefore, nail service providers must develop a strategy that can reduce the factors of nail service consumers’ indecisiveness during the purchase process and improve their business performance by enhancing the personal capabilities of service providers, thereby increasing the satisfaction of nail service customers.

The inhibitory effect of leaf and flower extracts on elastase was confirmed to be 58.31% and 46.14%, respectively, for OF and 51.22% and 39.26%, respectively, for OA. The inhibitory effects of leaf and flower extracts on tyrosinase were found to be 57.24% and 48.12%, respectively, for OF and 52.15% and 41.12%, respectively, for OA. Upon evaluation, the leaf and flower extracts of OF and OA exhibited antibacterial effects on Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) and Malassezia furfur (M. furfur).Conclusion: Among the ethanol extracts of the leaves and flowers of both species, the leaf extract of OF was confirmed to have not only an antioxidant effect but also a high inhibitory effect on elastase and tyrosinase, along with antibacterial effects. Therefore, it is expected to have high potential as a cosmetic material.
