Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic for skin or hair which gives an excellent effect on skin beauty and health.

  In order to maintain the healthy physiological function of the skin and maintain a healthy skin, it is known to add vitamins, lotus root, hyaluronic acid and other various additives to the skin cosmetic.

  There are also many medicinal cosmetics that activate the skin without harming the skin, help the skin to regenerate, smooth the skin, and are effective in treating and preventing rough skin and aging. Although proposed, none of these are yet satisfactory.

  On the other hand, pumpkin is widely used as food. Pumpkins, especially pepo pumpkins (Cucurbita PePo L.), have the property that rapid self-degradation begins when the seeds ripen, and they try to create a fertile environment for the seeds to germinate.

  However, most conventional cosmetics are insufficient in terms of effects such as exfoliation of the skin, relieving fine lines, and softening the skin. Therefore, in terms of the action of removing aging skin and smoothing the skin. It was still not satisfactory enough.

  This invention activates the function of the skin without harming the skin and is effective in exfoliating keratin, relieving fine lines, softening the skin, etc. As a result, it removes aged skin, helps skin regeneration and smoothes the skin The purpose is to provide cosmetics.

  In order to achieve the above object, as a result of intensive studies, the present inventor has found that a fermented product obtained by fermenting pumpkin fruits or / and seeds with lactic acid bacteria contains an excellent proteolytic enzyme. And the cosmetic compounded with this fermented product in the skin or hair cosmetic base material activates the function of the skin without harming the skin when applied directly to the skin as an external preparation, The present invention has achieved an excellent effect on skin softening and the like, and has been found to help skin regeneration and smooth the skin.

  That is, the present invention is characterized in that a fermented material obtained by fermenting pumpkin fruits or / and seeds with lactic acid bacteria is blended into a skin or hair cosmetic base material.

  As the pumpkin, it is preferable to use pepo pumpkin (Cucurbita PePo L.) (Claim 2). The lactic acid bacteria include lactic acid bacteria and lactobacilli (genus Lactobacillus), and it is preferable to use lactobacilli (claim 3). The fermented product is preferably an extract from the fermented product or a compressed liquid (Claim 3).

  The cosmetic composition of the present invention, when applied directly to the skin as an external preparation, has a markedly remarkable effect on the treatment and prevention of rough skin, activates the function of the skin without harming the skin, exfoliates keratin, and reduces wrinkles. It has an excellent effect on relaxation, softening skin, etc., helps to regenerate skin and smooth skin.

  The pumpkin used in the present invention is its fruit or / and seed, and the pumpkin fermented product is fermented by a conventional method by adding lactic acid bacteria, preferably lactobacilli (genus Lactobacillus) to the pumpkin fruit or / and seed. Can be obtained.

  From the fermented product thus obtained, an extract is obtained by extraction with water, 1,3-butylene glycol and an organic solvent such as ethanol alone or in a mixture at normal temperature or under heating. A pressing liquid (raw juice) is obtained by pressing a fermented material.

  The cosmetic base of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as a known base is used. Moreover, a dosage form is not specifically limited, For example, a cream, lotion, a pack, a foundation, a shampoo, rinse, hair art, a bath agent, soap etc. are mentioned.

  Although the addition amount of the pumpkin fermented extract or pressing solution to the cosmetic base can be varied in a wide range, for example, 0.1 to 30% by weight, particularly 1 to 10% by weight is preferable. In addition, in the case of an extract, it is the ratio as the concentrate which removed the solvent.

  Using a 5% aqueous solution of pumpkin enzyme extract obtained as described above, a total of 12 men and women aged 19 to 43 years were subjected to a cell regeneration test by the dansyl chloride method (dansyl chloride concentration: 5% in petrolatum), The effectiveness of cell regeneration was confirmed.

  Most conventional proteolytic enzymes such as AHA's and conventional enzymes such as papain or bromelain tend to irritate the skin, often due to their aggressive nature.

  Using a 10% aqueous solution of the pumpkin enzyme extract of the present invention, a total of 20 men and women aged 19 to 43 years were subjected to a human repeated damage patch test (HRIPT). It was confirmed that it had a good stimulation property.

Also, using a 10% aqueous solution of the pumpkin enzyme extract of the present invention, the test model: Epiiocular (Matter
Corp), tested under the conditions of test sample 3x and confirmed to be non-irritating to ocular tissue in an in vitro model.

Next, examples of the present invention will be shown, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. “%” Representing the quantity in the example is “% by weight”. In the examples, only the blending ratio is shown, but the production was carried out according to a conventional method at this blending ratio.
