This study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant activity, whitening, and wrinkle improvement effects of the Alnus sibirica Fisch. Ex Turcz root as a functional cosmetic material. The root of the Alnus sibirica Fisch. Ex Turcz was extracted using 60% edible alcohol. Next, an experiment was conducted using this root extract. First, in the antioxidant activity experiment, this extract increased its activity concentration-dependent. Second, as a result of culturing B16 melanoma cells and conducting an experiment using this extract, the effect of inhibiting melanogenesis showed concentration-dependent. Third, this extract has an excellent effect of inhibiting production of MMP-1 that affects wrinkle increase. Therefore, Alnus sibirica Fisch. Ex Turcz root extract is expected to be highly likely as a raw material for natural functional cosmetics.
