The present invention relates to a composition for stimulating melanogenesis, comprising Cirsium japonicum extract as an effective ingredient. The composition has no skin irritation and cytotoxicity and is excellent in human stability and very effective in stimulating melanogenesis. Therefore, the composition can be safely used in cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition for preventing, improving or treating vitiligo, white hair or hypopigmentation.

The invention discloses an eyelash liquid eyeliner, wherein the raw materials comprise the following components in parts by weight: 50-60 parts of ethyl hexyl acrylate copolymer, 30-40 natural beeswax, 10-12 carnauba wax, 8-12 polyvinylpyrrolidone, 5-7 shellac, 1-3 black talc powder, 20-30 polyvinyl alcohol, 20-30 of silicone resins, 10-12 of codariocalyx motorius saponin extract, 5-7 dual-directional regulation growth promotion factors, 1-3 antifreeze, 1-3 coloring agent, 1-3 preservative, and 5-7 antioxidant. Components in the liquid eyeliner are replaced with natural substances of the natural beeswax, the carnauba wax, the shellac and the like, and the eyelash liquid eyeliner is safe to skin. Besides, organic silicone resins are added, so that the condition that the eyelash liquid eyeliner is broken up when being in contact with water can be effectively avoided, the organic silicone resin can effectively block ultraviolet rays and prevent the ultraviolet rays from destroying roots of eyelashes.
