PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new keratin production promoter which promotes keratin production, and can improve troubles of epidermal tissues such as a skin with insufficient strength, a brittle nail and a thin hair without stiffness caused by reduction of keratin and prevent weakening of the epidermal tissues, and to provide a new food, a skin external preparation and a hair restorer in which the new keratin production promoter is compounded.SOLUTION: The extract of Eleutherococcus senticosus is compounded as an active ingredient to promote keratin production in epidermal cells, and thereby, texture and luster of skin and a rough dry skin can be improved. By compounding a sweetener, fragrance, herbal medicine, nutritious supplement or the like as necessary in the keratin projection promoter, the obtained preparation can be ingested as foods. By compounding a cosmetic or a quasi drug, the promoter can be administered as a skin external preparation. By compounding the promoter in a hair restorer or a dye/manicure medical agent, conditions of hair or nails can be improved and maintained, and prevented from deteriorating.
