BEAUTIFYING COMPOSITION CONTAINING RICE PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE AND AGENT FOR ENHANCING GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN SYNTHESIS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a beautifying method for preventing and/or reducing a sign of skin aging. SOLUTION: The beautifying method is to especially reconstruct a face and/or suppress recesses of the face caused by aging by applying a compound containing at least one kind of rice protein hydrolysate and at least one kind of agent increasing glycosaminoglycan synthesis in a physiologically permissible medium to the skin of the face. The subject beautifying composition contains at least one kind of rice protein hydrolysate, a Laminaria ochroleuca extract, and at least one kind of agent for increasing glycosaminoglycan synthesis selected from C-β-D-cylopyranoside-2-hydroxypropane, a salt, an optical isomer and a geometrical isomer of the same.
