PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lipid transporter protein: ABCA12 gene expression promoter, which is novel and useful and plays an important role in maintaining lipid homeostasis. The ABCA12 gene expression promoter can be used as a drug expected to maintain lipid homeostasis by preventing hyperkeratosis of the epidermis and gastric mucosa caused by a decrease in various internal and external factors. It is highly usable and can be used in a wide range of industries such as beverages, cosmetics and other external preparations as well as pharmaceuticals and foods (including foods and drinks that are beauty and health conscious). SOLUTION: An ABCA12 gene expression promoter containing a peony extract as an active ingredient.
