2. Description of the Related Art As a composition containing a surfactant such as soap, there is known a composition containing an extract of a natural plant such as a crude drug or a herbal medicine.

[0003] For example, in JP-A-60-13895, an anionic surfactant is extracted from water or alcohol of a plant selected from chimpi, senega, fenugree, dio, ogon, kujin and senkyu, or a mixture thereof. A mild stimulant surfactant composition prepared by blending one kind or two or more kinds is shown. Of these, for Diou, extract with an aqueous 30% ethanol solution.
The redness of S blended in various proportions has been investigated, and an example of a formulation in which a skin lotion or toothpaste is prepared by blending an extract with an aqueous 30% ethanol solution is shown.

[0004] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-111710 contains at least one crude drug selected from carrot, licorice, senkyu, oren, touki, peony, ogon, kujin, psycho, and dio, and the crude drug was heat-treated. A cosmetic composition after-blended is shown. It is said that this cosmetic composition can be made into a dosage form such as a cosmetic cream, a lotion, a hair tonic, a hair-growth agent, a bath agent, a tenka agent, and a soap according to a conventional method. Of these, the alco extract is used in Example 4 for dio.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-116520 discloses a testosterone 5α-reductase inhibitor comprising an extract obtained by using a mixture of water, ethanol and licorice in a ratio of water and ethanol of 1: 1. It is shown. This inhibitor is said to be useful for the treatment of male-type baldness and baldness, which is used in the form of ingestion or external use, in the prescription of medicines, quasi drugs, and cosmetics.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 59-176203 discloses a skin cosmetic composition in which stachyose is mixed with an aqueous base material of the skin cosmetic composition. Here, stachyose is an oligosaccharide obtained by purifying a water-soluble fraction of roots of Red-legged Scabbard or its homologous plant. Skin cosmetics are lotions, creams, emulsions or packs.

[0007]

Among the plant extracts to be mixed with the surfactant, there are various plant extracts as described above, but according to the study by the present inventors, the expected use is expected. Comfort (feeling during use) and medicinal effects (non-irritating for people with allergic skin diseases and people with high sensitivity to the skin, hemostasis effect when there is a wound on the skin, and effect for suppressing wormyness for people who are prone to burns) , A person with a pale constitution or a blood-supplementing effect for cold illness) was not obtained sufficiently.

[0008] Under such a background, the present invention provides a surfactant-containing composition which is much more comfortable to use and has a medicinal effect as compared with a surfactant-containing composition containing a conventional plant extract. The purpose is.

[0009]

The surfactant-containing composition of the present invention contains a surfactant as an essential component and an extract of maturation yellow.

The present invention will be described in detail below.

As the surface active agent, an anionic surface active agent, a nonionic surface active agent, a cationic surface active agent, and an amphoteric surface active agent are used.

Examples of anionic surfactants are higher fatty acid salts (saponified animal and vegetable fats and oils represented by beef tallow, coconut oil, palm oil), alkylbenzene sulfonates, alkylnaphthalene sulfonates, alkyl sulfonates. Salt (SAS), α-olefin sulfonate (AO
S), dialkyl sulfosuccinate, α-sulfonated fatty acid salt, sodium N-methyl-N-oleoyl taurine, petroleum sulfonate, alkyl sulfate (AS), sulfated oil and fat, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether sulfate ( AES), polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ether sulfate, polyoxyethylene styrenated phenyl ether sulfate, alkyl phosphate, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate, polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ether phosphate, naphthalene sulfonate Examples include formalin condensates.

Examples of nonionic surfactants include polyoxyethylene alkyl ether (AE), polyoxyethylene alkyl phenyl ether, polyoxyethylene polystyryl phenyl ether, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene. Alkyl ether, polyhydric alcohol fatty acid partial ester, polyoxyethylene polyhydric alcohol fatty acid partial ester, polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester, polyglycerin fatty acid ester, polyoxyethylenated castor oil, fatty acid diethanolamide, polyoxyethylene alkylamine, triethanol Examples include amine fatty acid partial esters and trialkylamine oxides.

Examples of cationic surfactants include
Tertiary fatty amine salt, quaternary ammonium salt (tetraalkyl ammonium salt, trialkyl baidyl ammonium salt, alkylpyridinium salt, 2-alkyl-1-
Alkyl-1-hydroxyethyl imidazolinium salt,
Examples thereof include N, N-dialkylmorpholinium salts and polyethylene polyamine fatty acid amides.

Examples of the amphoteric surfactant include N, N-dimethyl-N-alkyl-N-carboxymethylammonium betaine, N, N-dialkylaminoalkylene ammonium betaine, N, N, N-trialkyl-N-.
Examples thereof include sulfoalkylene ammonium betaine, N, N-dialkyl-N, N-bis (polyoxyethylene sulfate) ammonium betaine, and 2-alkyl-1-hydroxyethyl-1-carboxymethylimidazolinium betaine.

These surfactants may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

Generally, it is a cure in the world of Kampo medicine to add a physical action to herbs (for example, by steaming or baking with liquor) to enhance their effects and efficacy or to expand the range of application. This is how it is done. By carrying out this repair, it is possible to bring out another effect of the crude drug and reduce side effects, so that it is handled as a drug different from the herb. For example, steaming dough yellow with liquor turns it into ripe ground yellow, liquorice medicinal herbs turn into moxibustion licorice, and ginseng is steamed and dried into red ginseng.

In the world of Chinese medicine, raw ground yellow is used as a clear-blood cooling agent, and dried ground yellow is used as a cold-blood depressant.
Jukujio is said to be a blood-supplementing drug. In other words, it is improved by being aged so that it can be applied to an invisible person (person with a weak body). For this reason, ancient and modern Kampo medicine books always use the terms dry land yellow and ripe yellow. Therefore, the extract component of ripe ground yellow has a great difference in medicinal effect and potency from the extract component of dry ground yellow.

The ground yellow is the root of the red scorpionfish or the related plant thereof, and is classified into three types, that is, the material yellow, the dry ground yellow, and the mature ground yellow, depending on whether or not the repair is performed. The dough yellow is a raw root that is stored in a shaded sandy soil, and is also called a sand pond. Dough yellow is often used because it deteriorates and becomes messy in winter. Dry land yellow is a dark purple color, which is made by mining roots in winter and drying them in the sun. Jukujio is typically made by stirring the mined ground with high-quality sake, adding a little bit of crimped sand, and putting it in the willow tree Kosiki, then putting the sake in a pot and putting Kosiki on it. Steam it so that no steam leaks out, take it out for about 2 hours and dry it.
It is obtained by repeating the operation of drying several times.

[0020] As described above, the maturation yellow is common in that it is derived from the roots of the phylloraceae, Phytolacca communis or its closely related plants, but in terms of taste, medicinal effect, and medicinal potency, it can be considered as a different substance. There is a difference.

In the present invention, the extract of the water of ripe ground yellow or an organic solvent or a water-containing organic solvent is added to the surfactant-containing composition. Here, as the organic solvent,
Alcohols, glycols, ketones, ethers,
Examples thereof include esters, hydrocarbons and halogen-containing solvents.

The proportion of surfactant in the total composition is
It can be variously set from a large amount of soap such as about 50% by weight or more to a small amount such as lotion of 1 to 2% by weight. The proportion of the maturation yellow extract in the entire composition is preferably about 0.002 to 10% by weight, particularly 0.01 to 2% by weight, but not limited to this range. However, when the ratio is extremely small, the compounding effect is insufficient, while when it is too large, the original action of the surfactant is not sufficiently exerted, and the cost becomes significantly high, and the practicality is impaired.

The surfactant-containing composition of the present invention is a detergent (soap, transparent soap, synthetic toilet soap, liquid body detergent,
Cleansing cream), lotion, cream (vanishing cream, neutral cream, cold cream), emulsion, pack, shampoo, conditioner, hair tonic, hair conditioner, shaving cream, pre-shaving lotion, after-shaving lotion,
It is useful as a cosmetic such as a bath agent. Further, it is not limited to cosmetics, but is also useful for applications such as dishwashing detergent and laundry soap that may cause rough hands, and applications for quasi-drugs such as ointments.

Depending on these uses, media (water or alcohol), oily raw materials, humectants, vitamins, hormones, antihistamines, astringents, amino acids, fungicides,
Antifungal agents, fragrances, coloring agents, other plant extracts and the like can be added.

[0025]

[Function] Ripe ground yellow is greatly different from the usual ground yellow (dry ground yellow) in the components contained during extraction. Blending the extract of jukujio yellow into the surfactant-containing composition improves the feeling of use (feeling during use) and improves the medicinal properties (especially the efficacy) of the composition containing the extract of dry ground yellow. Is effective for people with allergic skin diseases and people with strong skin sensitivity).
