Abstract

A black horehound extract is used to prepare a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition, particularly a dermatological composition, for promoting skin pigmentation, preventing or delaying the growth of grey hairs, treating pigmentary disorders, reducing triglyceride levels in fat cells, and preventing the build-up of body fat such as in cellulite. The composition may particularly be used effectively to promote skin or hair pigmentation and a reduction in the build-up of body fat such as in cellulite.
