Interpretation of Information on New Cosmetic Ingredient

Indica Rice (Oryza sativa subsp. indica) is a subspecies of cultivated rice in China. It is well-suited for cultivation in tropical and subtropical regions, and was originally distributed across the Indian subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), Sri Lanka, the Indochinese Peninsula, and southern China. In China, it is primarily grown in the tropical regions of South China and the subtropical lowlands south of the Huai River. Compared to japonica rice, indica rice thrives under long daylight conditions and is more tolerant of heat and drought. It has a shorter growth cycle, allowing for two to three harvests per year, and generally yields higher output. The grains are long with low stickiness, and they contain higher levels of protein and amylose.

Gynura divaricata (L.) DC., commonly known as Bai Zi Cai, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Gynura in the family Asteraceae. It is native to Singapore and distributed in northern Vietnam, as well as in regions such as Guangdong and Hainan in China. Research has shown that Gynura divaricata possesses high nutritional value and a pleasant taste. It is rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, polysaccharides, and alkaloids. The plant also has notable medicinal properties. Pungent and mild in nature, the whole plant is used in traditional medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, relaxing tendons and promoting bone healing, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids, as well as for its anti-cancer, antioxidant, antimutagenic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects.
