Today, men's appearance is an important part of the global fashion industry, including Korea, with such
fashion concepts as the Metrosexual and Ubersexual. Domestic and overseas beauty and cosmetics related
organizations are using this phenomenon for marketing and researching to improve the function of
cosmetics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Prunus persica L. Batsch leaf extract
on the skin condition after clinical application to male subjects with oily skin to determine the possibility
of functional cosmetics utilizing this extract. The cleansing bars were prepared by the MP method and the
cleansing packs were prepared using natural ingredients. After 8 weeks of application, moisture, oil,
erythema, melanin, pH, elasticity and tactile sensation were measured using MPA5. The results showed that
there was a statistically significant difference in T-zone moisture and T-zone oil after using the natural
cleansing bar, but there was no significant difference between the two groups for other items. However, the
statistically significant changes were found in the individual skin condition change items of the subjects in
each group, and it was judged that the two kinds of formulations could be used at the same time to have
a higher skin improvement effect. Thus, Prunus persica L. Batsch leaf extract demonstrates potential to be
used as a functional cosmetics item.
