Abstract:

Portulaca oleracea L. (PO) contains various active chemicals. PO is a medicine and food homologous to traditional Chinese medicine, which has high medicinal and edible value. In recent years, it has been widely used in the field of the chemical industry, especially in the field of cosmetics. Cosmetic companies have developed facial masks, essence, skin care water, cleanser and other cosmetic products that have been added the active ingredient extracted from PO. However, the related commercial cosmetics of PO mainly contain the ethanol extracts, while there are few cosmetic products involving its aqueous extracts, such as polysaccharide and polyphenol. The emergence of new dosage forms has enriched the research on the percutaneous delivery system of PO in cosmetics, and new carriers such as liposomes, delivery bodies, and β-cyclodextrins can be developed in the future. The chemical composition, function, mechanism, and application of Portulaca oleracea in cosmetics are summarized, and some suggestions and prospects are put forward on the development and application of Portulaca oleracea in cosmetics.
