Abstract: Aging is unavoidable; however, the aging of the skin not only causes various problems and disorders but also becomes an obstacle to individual aesthetics. Notably, there are several anti-aging medicines and cosmetics available today, and Coix seed extract, a traditional Chinese medicine, is among them. This extract has shown improvement in onycholysis, characterized by the painless detachment of the nail from the nail bed, as aging is also a factor, in a case report of a 62-year-old woman. Further research is required to explore the potential of Coix seed extract as an anti-aging agent.
