    Wrinkle Improvement
    The mycelial culture broth of cordyceps in the mixture of cucumber and grape extracts showed increased intracellular collagen production and excellent antioxidant effects at a certain concentration. In the study, cordyceps was judged to be harmless to the human body since all 30 subjects experienced no skin irritation. Therefore, it is considered that the mycelial culture broth in the mixture of cucumber and grape extracts has no adverse events on the skin and is highly valuable as a functional cosmetic ingredient for its anti-wrinkle effect and antioxidant activity. < Anti-wrinkle Effect of Mycelial Culture Broth of Paecilomyces japonica in the Mixture of Cucumber and Grape Extracts, Lee Younghun et al., Journal of Life Science, 2006, 16 (3), 516-521. > >

    Antioxidation
    When Paecilomyces tenuipes and Cordyceps militaris was extracted with water, ethanol and methanol, and the polyphenol and flavonoid contents for each extract were measured, Paecilomyces tenuipes water extract showed the highest polyphenol and flavonoid levels as well as high DPPH free radical scavenging activities. On the other hand, the extract showed a low antioxidant effect when compared with BHT, a commonly used antioxidant, at the same concentration and thus is considered to be less effective than that of commercially available antioxidants.

    Brightening
    The mycelial culture broth of cordyceps in the mixture of cucumber and grape extracts showed inhibitory effects in melanin production as well as tyrosinase when treated at a concentration of 5%. The study confirmed that the mycelial culture broth inhibits melanin production by inhibiting tyrosinase. Therefore, it was concluded that cordyceps has excellent brightening effects without cytotoxicity and can be used for brightening cosmetic products.
