Although there have been found out various animal- or plant-origin activators and antiaging agents, none of them can establish a sufficient and stable effect at the industrially available level in practice. Thus, it is intended to provide a plant-origin cell activator or antiaging agent which exerts an excellent cell-activating or antiaging effect on cells and fully withstands prolonged use. Namely, it is intended to provide a cell activator or an antiaging agent characterized by containing at least one or more extracts of plant(s) selected from the group consisting of soybean seed, soybean germ, soybean embryo, soybean sprout, wheat seed, wheat germ, wheat embryo, wheat sprout, soy milk and okara (bean curd refuse); and a method of using the same in a cosmetic, a quasi drug (a skin preparation for external use, a bathing preparation, a hair growth stimulant, etc.), a food, a drink or a drug. |
