Abstract:
HaCaT cells and B16 cells were applied to establish evaluation models to study the effects of bamboo leaf fermentation broth (FBL) on skincare functions. CCK-8 test was performed to evaluate cell toxicity of FBL. The whitening, skin barrier strengthening and anti-inflammatory effects of FBL were determined by melanin content assay, gene expression assay of filaggrin and inflammatory factors under sodium lauryl sulfate injury model, respectively. The results show that FBL has no toxicity to HaCaT and B16 cells. FBL can significantly reduce melanin contents in B16 cells (
p < 0.001), promote filaggrin gene expression (
p < 0.001) and inhibit the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 (
p < 0.001,
p < 0.01). In conclusion, FBL has potential skincare effects.
