The problem addressed by the present invention is to provide an anti-aging agent for skin that is highly safe and can be used with confidence over an extended period of time, an anti-aging-related gene expression regulator, and a cosmetic comprising the anti-aging agent or anti-aging-related gene expression regulator. The anti-aging agent for skin, anti-aging-related gene expression regulator, and cosmetic comprising the anti-aging agent or anti-aging-related gene expression regulator of the present invention include, as active ingredients, special low-molecular-weight DNA and soybean extract, preferably soybean sprout extract. Since these active ingredients act to potentiate the function of dermal fibroblasts, they are expected to prevent or improve aging of the skin such as decreased skin tension and elasticity, wrinkles and sagging, etc. |
