Description

  The present invention relates to a deodorant composition that is excellent in deodorant effect, has no white residue on the skin, and has good powder dispersion stability intended to improve antiperspirant action and feel.

Antiperspirant deodorant agents are widely used for the purpose of suppressing body odor, but a sufficient deodorant effect has not yet been obtained.
In order to improve the deodorant effect, attempts have been made to improve the antiperspirant performance of the antiperspirant used (Patent Document 1), masking with a fragrance, and a large amount of a bactericide.

However, biologically, it is impossible to completely stop sweating, and masking does not maintain its effect, and there are odors that cannot be hidden. Moreover, it is desirable that the amount of the bactericide is small in terms of safety and environmental load.
Furthermore, the deodorant agent containing powder also has a problem that a white residue is generated on the skin after application and the appearance is impaired.

100 g of 95 v / v% ethanol aqueous solution was added to 10 g of gardenia seeds, extracted at room temperature for 7 days, and filtered to obtain an extract (yield: 93 mL, evaporation residue: 1.69 w / v%).

Test Example 1 (Apolipoprotein D degradation inhibitory action)
(1) Preparation of concentrated sweat:
The operation of wiping the armpits of 8 men with apocrine odor with absorbent cotton containing 1.5 mL of distilled water was performed once a day for 3 days. The liquid (57.5 mL) collected by squeezing these absorbent cottons is filtered through a filter with a pore size of 0.45 μm, then concentrated with a centrifugal filter membrane “Centreprep YM-10” manufactured by Millipore, and distilled water is added again. In the same manner, it was concentrated with Centriprep YM-10 to remove low molecular components. This was concentrated sweat.

(2) To 0.04 mL of concentrated sweat prepared by the above method (1), 0.03 mL of 100 mM Tris-HCl buffer, 0.02 mL of distilled water and 0.01 mL of each plant extract (Production Examples 1 and 3) 6) was added. This was inoculated with Brevibacterium epiderumidis washed 3 times with pH 7.2, 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer so that the final cell mass was about 10 ⁸ cfu / mL, and incubated at 37 ° C. for 24 hours. Antibody staining was performed. As a gel of SDS polyacrylamide electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of bacterial cell-treated concentrated sweat, Ready Gel J (separated gel concentration: 15%, Bio-Rad) was used. For antibody staining, the protein separated by SDS-PAGE is electrically transferred from the gel onto a PVDF filter (Immobilon transfer membrane, Millipore), then the primary antibody is anti-apolipoprotein D monoclonal mouse antibody (RDI), and the secondary antibody is An apolipoprotein D was detected with an ECL Plus Western blotting detection system (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) using an anti-mouse Ig antibody labeled with HRP (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). , (Apolipoprotein D amount of sample / Apolipoprotein D amount in untreated sweat) × 100 was calculated.

As a result, the residual rate of apolipoprotein D was 51% when no plant extract was added, whereas it was 85% yellowfin extract, 81% ginkgo extract, 82% purple extract, and licorice extract 72. %, Gardenia extract 80%.
By treating the concentrated sweat with Brevibacterium epiderumidis , apolipoprotein D in the concentrated sweat was decomposed and decreased, whereas the addition of a specific plant extract suppressed the degradation of apolipoprotein D.
