Gallic acid, digallic acid, gallotannin are effective in the precaution of hyperlipidemia and fatty liver in rats. Mung beans contain vitexin and isovitexin which are associated with decrease in adipocyte precursor cells. Especially vitexin inhibits fat synthesis and gene expression of inflammatory cytokines.

Of 30 products, 14 products were found to contain 5 types of preservatives and concentration was parabens (0.02~0.22%), dehydroacetic acid (0.14~0.15%). None of them exceed the cosmetic combination limits (0.8%, 0.6%, respectively). None of them exceed the cosmetic combination limits (0.8%, 0.6%, respectively). E. coli, Staphylococuus aureus, Salmonella spp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were not detected in all samples, and general bacteria, yeast and mold were detected in 13 of 30 samples while using them for 3 month. But the level of them does not yield the Microbial Limits. As microorganisms can greatly increase depending on the type of cosmetics and usage environment it is desirable to label the expiration date, storage and application method to secure the safety and to prevent the skin troubles.

Third, the cosmetic-surgery behavior in research subjects showed that the higher aesthetic consciousness leads to the more positive intention of surgery. Reasons for desiring cosmetic surgery included‘self-satisfaction’ with 44.7% and‘dissatisfaction with the present appearance’ with 41.9%. Thus, cosmetic surgery was dicated to be desired as a means of improving the present appearance.
