The present invention relates to a composition comprising arginine aspartate. The composition according to the present invention not only reduces 2-nonenal, but also inhibits the expression of MMP-1, has a collagen synthesis ability, reduces the expression of TNF-α, and inhibits the activity of tyrosinase. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention can be effectively used for suppressing senile body odor, alleviating wrinkles, anti-inflammation or whitening.

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel food material effective for improving skin conditions. The present invention provides a composition for use in improving skin conditions, comprising a Lactococcus bacterium as an active ingredient. Examples of the Lactococcus bacterium include Lactococcus lactis. The skin conditions are skin conditions deteriorated by light exposure, such as an increase in skin redness and a decrease in skin moisture content.
