PURPOSE:A pack composition, containing gibberellin and if necessary a proteolytic enzyme, and capable of dulling the hue of deposited pigments, e.g. liver spots or freckles. CONSTITUTION:A pack composition containing 0.1-0.5wt% gibberellin, e.g. gibberellin A1 of the formula, and if necessary 0.1-1.0wt% proteolytic enzyme. The gibberellin is capable of dulling the hue of pigments deposited due to the hyperfunction of melanocytes. Any one of proteolytic enzymes, e.g. papain, bromelain or ficin, originating from plant sources, and pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin or cathepsin, originating from animal sources may be used as the proteolytic enzyme used together with the gibberellin, and the former is preferred. The gibberellin and proteolytic enzyme can be added to all types of pack compositions, e.g. jelly, pasty or powdery form. |
