DP+-ai l,~.d Desc"rip tion; of the r"llvention A body cosmetic pigment composition of the present invention is produced by a predetermined process after mixing various ingredients extracted from marine plants, such as sea tangles and brown seaweeds, together with sodium chloride solution, silica, aluminum, magnesium, and the like. At first, characteristics of the brown seaweeds and the sea tangles and a method for extracting its solution will be explained herein.
The brown seaweed and the sea tangle contain calcium and potassium in a rich amount, specially th.e potassium twice as much as sodium. When ingesting plenty of the potassium, the potassium is excreted in company with the sodium in urine, so preventing water from being supplied extremely to the interior of the body primarily.
Additionally, the seaweed and the sea tangle contain iodine in a rich amount. The iodine is closely related to the thyroid gland, so lack of the iodine may cause the thyroid gland diseases. Specially, it is known that abnormality of hormone secretion leads to gain a weight, while a functional deterioration of the thyroid gland can be prevented by ingesting the brown seaweeds and the sea tangles among the kelps.
The brown seaweeds and the sea tangles also contain selenium. The selenium exists in sea water and soil in a very 3a small amount and is a rare mineral essential to a metabolism of the human body. In addition, the selenium is a component of glutathione-peroxidase, which prevents cells from being oxidized or broken down. Therefore, the selenium is considered as a necessary mineral for cellular functions in human body.
In particular, the seaweeds and the sea tangles contain a lot of alginic acid. According to experiments, it is known that various antibacterial materials, physiological activator, and various minerals are contained in the alginic acid, and that, l0 when injecting the alginic acid in a laboratory rat, the level of neutral lipid and cholesterol decrease.

Therefore, it is important for various ingredients of the brown seaweeds and the sea tangles to be extracted in the ion state and absorbed in capillaries through skin in a simple manner without the 20 numerous processes, as described above.
Therefore, to extract solution, which are ions of various ingredients, from the brown seaweeds and the sea tangle is important first of all in the present invention. But, heating to about 100°C for extraction may result in breaking the physiological activator and several minerals.
In the present invention, the solution of the brown seaweeds and the sea tangles is extracted by freezing and thawing them repeatedly because it derives tissue destruction of leaf body cells so to easily extract various ingredients.
The leaf body is most easily destructed when repeatedly freezing to -7°C and then thawing to +5°C. On the contrary, when repeatedly freezing to -3°C and thawing to +1°C, the cell tissue destruction is decreased but as acceptable degree. It is understood that the leaf body tissue cell can be destructed by generating freezing points. Then, the leaf body is grinded by a grinder, such as 'Polytron pt2o00', in 6,000 revolutions per minute for destructing more than 90% of the leaf body. When grinding, it is difficult to grind the leaf body only.
Therefore, for grinding the leaf body effectively, sodium chloride solution mixed with the leaf body under consideration of concentration in the leaf body, so the sodium chloride solution is at about 2.0 - 2.2% concentration. On the other hand, the brown seaweeds and the sea tangles, which are live, frozen, stored, or treated, are all available.
Secondly, roles of the sodium chloride will be explained below.
It is well known that the human body mainly consists of water. The water solves several kinds of nutritive elements and minerals, which are physiological activating materials, and intermediates physiological reactions in cells.
A total amount of water in human body is about 60 - 70% of body weight, and men generally have higher percentage of water than women, and the fat than the thin. Water in human body is referred to humor, which is divided in two classifications of intracellular humor and extracellular humor.
The intracellular humor is water existing in cells, and is occupying 2/3 of the humor. The remaining 1/3 of the humor is dispersed among the extracellular humors. Therefore, in case of an adult of 70kg in weight, a total amount of the humor is about 4oL, in which about 25L corresponds to the intracellular humor and about 15L to the extracellular humor. On the other hand, the extracellular humor is divided into the blood plasma and intercellular humor, which has 1:3 ratio.
Water, which people ingest day after day, is mainly entered through oral system by drinking water or eating foodstuffs containing water. Additionally, it may be generated in the body as a product of the metabolism reaction, although l0 it is a small amount. Usually, about 2,50om1 of water enters into the human body in a day, while about 2,200m1 which is 900 thereof is ingested through the oral system. On the other hand, even if amount of water, lost out of human body, changes according to circumferential temperature or movement degree, in a normal condition, about 90om1 of ingested water is dispersed in the body and excreted by vaporization of respiratory organ and skin, in which human cannot feel sensually the loss of water.
One of essential factors, determining the distribution of 20 water in human body, is an osmotic pressure. In general, water moves from hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution, which is an osmotic action. For example, when a semipermeable membrane.
is deposited between a sugar solution in one side and a water as a solvent in the other side, then the sugar solution cannot permeate the membrane but the water can permeate the membrane so to move toward the sugar solution. As described above, the osmotic action occurs when dividing a solution and a solvent with the semipermeable membrane. At this time, the solution indicates a peculiar pressure. The pressure is called as the 30 osmotic pressure. The osmotic pressure is in proportion to a concentration of a solution when a temperature is constant.
Solution which has equal osmotic pressure is called as an isotonic solution, and solutions which has lower osmotic pressure are called as the hypotonic solution. The osmotic pressure plays essential roles in a bio-phenomenon such as generation of edema, and a hemolysis of red corpuscles by the osmotic pressure.
The osmotic pressure means the number of particles solved in a solution per unit volume. While the osmotic pressure of the humor can be controlled by varying the number of the particles or amount of water, a living body controls the osmotic pressure of the humor by varying the amount of water in the body. Such controlling action is achieved by a thirst or an anti-urination hormone.
Because water moves by free diffusion between cells, the extracellular humor and the intracellular humor consequently have equal osmotic pressures. If the osmotic pressure of any humor changes, water is redistributed until the osmotic pressures of both humors become equal.
A major factor for determining the effective osmotic pressure is a concentration of the sodium chloride, which consists 90% of total extracellular solute which causes the effective osmotic pressure. Therefore, the increase and decrease of the concentration of the sodium chloride accompany the change of the osmotic pressure and the cell volume.
When a person ingests water excessively more than that to be excreted, the body is in an excessive state of water. The excessive water then becomes the extracellular humor so to increase the volume of the cells and dilute the solute.
Therefore, molecules of water continue moving from the extracellular humor to the intracellular humor until the osmotic pressures of both humors become equal to each other. As a result, more water is distributed in the cells rather than out of the cells, which is a water redistribution phenomenon by volume change of total humor in body.
In addition, when a person ingests a sodium chloride solution at rich concentration, the concentration of the sodium chloride in the extracellular humor is increased. At this time, although much sodium chloride enters into the cells, an excretion rate of the sodium chloride is also increased such that the increase of salt is mainly restricted to the extracellular humor region. Therefore, while water moves until the osmotic of both humors equal to each other, the water redistribution from the intracellular humor to the extracellular humor is promoted.
Also, between the blood plasma and the intercellular humor, water and electrolyte in the blood plasma are let out of blood vessels in level of a capillary vessel by a colloidal osmotic pressure of blood plasma protein. The egress and ingress of humor are balanced by force for drawing the intracellular humor in the blood vessel inversely by the colloidal osmotic pressure of the blood plasma protein. That is a principle of the osmotic pressure. Water is prevented from excessively flowing in by making normal amount of the sodium chloride remaining in the blood plasma with use of the above principle. When applying the solution containing the sodium chloride on a sagged skin, the concentration of the intercellular humor increases instantaneously by the sodium chloride entered into the capillary vessel. Then the increased concentration makes the water in cells move out of the cells, resulting in excreting water collected among cells through the kidneys out of body.
At third, an ion exchange for securing viscous materials will be explained. The viscous materials are no more than viscous materials extracted from loess. The viscous materials show a surprising effect to provide elasticity to the skin. The viscous materials of the loess are difficult to obtain because they are combined in ionic bonds. But, when using sea water, they are easily obtained by method of ion substitution. The viscous materials are secondary minerals fully containing minerals such as silica, aluminum, magnesium and so on.
The loess is generally designated as a part of soil which has yellow color. But the color of the soil varies according to ingredients contained in the soil. The soil is mostly recombined in a generating process, and has various forms according to circumferential condition. The soil is generally classified in five types, such as Kaolinite, Montmorlillonite, Illite, Chlorite, and Vermiculite. The classification follows a component ratio of silica and aluminum.
The experiments of viscous characteristics of the soils show that the Kaolinite and the Montmorlillonite have distinguishable viscous effect. In special, it is shown that the viscous materials provide hard tightness on the skin when applied thereon. The degree of the tightness is Montmorlillonite > Kaolinite > Chlorite > Illite > Vermiculite.
Therefore, according to the result of the experiments, it is effective to use the Kaolinite and the Montmorlillonite as a viscous material.
To obtain suitable viscous materials, the natural loess are pulverized finely. They pass through a sieve two or three times so to select minute ones, then completely solving them in purified water. At this time, after throwing away unsolved ones, the solved loess is stirred and mixed with sea water, and then keeping the mixture, until the loess sinks, and the viscous mineral is extricated therefrom. Then, the loess is eliminated so to obtain the viscous mineral only. The obtained viscous mineral is mixed with ingredients extracted from the brown seaweed and the sea tangle. Then, the viscous material obtained by the ion substitution is electrically combined with the ingredients of marine plants, which are in ion state, in sea water, and consequently, the viscous material-combined cosmetic pigments are obtained.
