Composition for modulating the expression of genes responsible for the function and maintenance of keratinous materials comprising Lipid Carrier and a Pharmaceutical Plant and / or cosmetically acceptable； Cosmetic or therapeutic methods for treating keratinous Materials, which includes Administration of the composition to a subject.
The present invention is directed to cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one plant lipid, having as its main application the treatment of keratinous materials, particularly skin, hair, scalp, nails and eyelashes, by modulating the expression of genes responsible for ROS metabolism, lipid metabolism, skin integrity, cell renewal, cell differentiation, strengthening the skin barrier, calcium metabolism, cell proliferation, tissue healing and/or repair, cell adhesion, carbohydrate metabolism, hydration, skin homeostasis/maintenance, skin defense and/or protection, remodeling and/or extracellular matrix synthesis, skin peeling, tissue maintenance, cell signaling, normal development of the epidermis, epidermal barrier function, development of the skin, dermis-epidermis junction, anti-inflammatory or antioxidant action in keratinous materials, through the modulation of the expression of the genes involved in said functions. The present invention also teaches methods of modulating the expression of genes responsible for such functions of keratinous materials and the use of said plant lipids in the preparation of said compositions.Esta solicitud de invención está relacionada a promover la salud y apariencia de materiales queratinosos (ej. piel, cabello y uñas). Se reivindica una composición para modular genes responsables de la funcionalidad y mantenimiento de dichos materiales queratinosos, la cual comprende un lípido vegetal y un portador. El lípido vegetal puede ser aceite de acai (Euterpe oleracea), aceite de andiroba (Carapa guianensis), aceite de buriti (Mauritia flexuosa), aceite de parchita (Passiflora edulis), oleína de palma (Elaeis guineensis), manteca de cupuacu (Theobroma grandiflorum), manteca de cacao (Theobroma cacao), manteca de murumuru (Astrocaryum murumuru), aceite de pataua (Oenocarpus bataua) o manteca de ucuuba (Virola surinamensis). Se reivindica el uso del lípido vegetal para fabricar una preparación que module la expresi
