Abstract

The invention relates to a cosmetic agent with Oleoresin Capsicum, which causes the slowing down of the photoaging process, and its production process. More specifically, Capsicum oleoresin stimulates skin sensory nerves, which act as a heat sensor and cause pain, thus counteracting the skin's photoaging by UV rays and other external influences, leading to wrinkle reduction and smoothing of flaccid skin.

Description

[Technical part]

The invention relates to a cosmetic agent with Oleoresin Capsicum, which causes the slowing down of the photoaging process, and its production process. In detail Oleoresin Capsicum stimulates skin sensory nerves, which act as heat sensors and are responsible for pain by releasing substances from the nerve endings. It thus acts against the photoaging caused by light, the so-called "photoaging", by UV rays and other external influences and leads to wrinkle reduction and smoothing of the flabby skin.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The skin, the outermost layer of the body, accounts for about 7% of an adult's average body weight and is an important organ protecting the human body from mechanical stress because it is physically and chemically linked to the environment.

There are two main causes of skin aging: aging by UV rays and natural aging over time.

As for the ultraviolet (ultraviolet) aging, it is noted that ultraviolet rays are classified into UV-C, UV-B and UV-A according to the wavelength. In addition, IR (infrared) stands for infrared rays and visible radiation VR (visible radiation).

Infrared rays are relatively penetrating because their wavelengths are long and thus the scattering effect by the small particles is small compared to UV or visible light. They are also characterized by a strong heat effect.

Visible light is most of the radiant power arriving on Earth through the atmosphere. The shorter the wavelength of the rays of light, the more violet is their color, the longer, the redder. It is usually divided into seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple.

UV (ultraviolet radiation) is an ultraviolet light and is u. a. divided into UV-A and UV-B. The longer the wavelength, the more UV-A content it has, the shorter the more UV-B content. The wavelengths that can reach Earth's atmosphere through the stratosphere (ozone layer) are relatively long wavelengths UV-A and UV-B.

UV-B reaches the epidermis and causes dry skin and keratosis. UV-A with a longer wavelength than UV-B reaches the dermis and causes damage to the collagen, photoaging the skin through water loss and in severe cases burns.

The natural aging process over time refers to collagen and elastin, which is the elastic factor of the dermis. Collagen and elastin are connected like a net and serve to bring the skin back to its original position when pulled and pushed.

Collagen and elastin are produced in large quantities on average until the age of about 18 years, after which their production is significantly reduced. Over time, the skin loses its elasticity through natural aging and expands due to gravity.

Slowing the photoaging of the skin by UV light and other external influences is much easier and more effective than a treatment of natural skin aging.

Capsaicin is mainly used in common cosmetic products and also for hair care products. Both groups use the bioactive power of Capsicum.

Due to the increase in the proportion of the older generation, the inventors conducted a study on the skin's photoaging by ultraviolet rays, and other external influences, as well as the elasticity factor activity of the skin, thereby confirming the cell renewal effect due to the bioactive force by the application of Capsicum and completed the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the contents described later. However, the present invention should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are intended to disclose the invention carefully and completely and to fully convey to those skilled in the technical concept of the invention. The same reference numerals throughout the specification denote the same components.

The cosmetic agent with Oleoresin Capsicum, which causes the slowing of the photoaging process, can be formed with Oleoresin Capsicum as an active ingredient.

The capsicum annuum resin in the present invention is also known as capsicum oleoresin, containing at least 4% capsaicin and consisting mainly of oleoresin. It causes less irritation compared to refined capsaicin, but the desired antioxidant effect is similar (see 1 : Antioxidant Test 1). 1 Figure 10 is a graph showing the extent of inhibition of peroxide (PCOOH, phospholipid hydroperoxide) by capsaicin and oleoresin capsicum, where 'CON' represents the control group, 'CAP' represents 98% pure capsaicin and 'C-RESIN' represents Oleoresin Capsicum with 4% or more Capsaicin From the extent of inhibition of peroxide (PCOOH, phospholipid hydroperoxide), the antioxidant effect can be confirmed. In the case of oleoresin capsicum, tocopherol, a natural antioxidant, is thought to be effective in addition to capsaicin (with high antioxidant activity).

Capsaicin, one of the ingredients of pepper plants and responsible for the spicy flavor, causes irritation and heat in contact with the skin. Oleoresin, an essential oil or resin, produces the volatile spicy aroma secreted by pepper plants. Olefin-refined capsaicin with a purity of 99% can cause skin irritation.

About 80% or more of the most important biologically active substances used in fields such as cosmetics have the problem that they are insoluble in water or have only a low solubility. Since Oleoresin Capsicum is oil-soluble, water can not be used as a solvent for it.

Because of this low solubility or insolubility, it has a far lower physiological effect than theoretical data suggest, since the appropriate amount required for a physiological effect can not be used.

In order to increase its solubility in water, the oil-soluble oleoresin capsicum is solubilized, for example, with skin-friendly surfactants. The solubilized capsicum oleoresin can thus be used in skin care products predominantly consisting of water, in particular in the form of gels or creams, in appropriate amounts for the particular effect.

The oleoresin capsicum cosmetic agent of the present invention, which causes the slowing down of the photoaging process, can be formed so as to solubilize the oleoresin capsicum with a mixture of lecithin, fatty acid, siloxane and glycerin, whereby 5-20% by weight (% by weight) Oleoresin Capsicum is mixed and solubilized with 1-10% by weight of lecithin, 0.5-10% by weight of fatty acid, 0.1-10% by weight of siloxane and 1-20% by weight of glycerol.

More specifically, the solubilization of the oleoresin capsicum is accomplished by mixing in the stirred tank, as in 2 Oleoresin Capsicum is mixed with lecithin, fatty acid, siloxane and glycerin, heated to 40-50 ° C and stirred under a reduced pressure of 0.4-0.533 bar (300-400 mmHg). This gives the solubilized capsicum oleoresin a high solubility in water.

Preferably, the cosmetic agent of the present invention having oleoresin capsicum, which causes the slowing down of the photoaging process, may be formed to contain 0.1-5% by weight of solubilized oleoresin capsicum, 0.01-1% by weight of adenosine, 0.05% 1% by weight of hygroscopic mineral and polyphenol compounds.

The polyphenol compounds in the present invention can be formed, for example, from green tea, coffee, grapes and / or cocoa mixtures, wherein the polyphenol has an antioxidant effect, whereby "active oxygen" in the human body is converted into a harmless substance.

For example, in the present invention, the hygroscopic minerals may be formed from montmorillonite. The montmorillonite is a mineral that emanates through water absorption. Thus, the montmorillonite a physical and temporary expansion effect of the skin when used in cosmetics.

Moreover, the cosmetic agent of the present invention can be processed with oleoresin capsicum, which causes the slowing of the photoaging process, to a skin care agent such as gels and creams, etc. In addition, depending on the desired formulation, the density of the solubilized oleoresin capsicum can be varied.

The skin care agent may be composed of 0.100-5.000% by weight solubilized oleoresin capsicum containing 5-20% by weight oleoresin capsicum, 1,000-10,000% by weight lecithin, 0,500-10,000% by weight fatty acid, 0,100-10,000% by weight siloxane and 1,000% Containing 20,000% by weight of glycerin, and 0.010-1,000% by weight of adenosine, 0.050-1,000% by weight of polyphenol compound, and 0.050-1,000% by weight of hygroscopic mineral. Optionally, surfactants, humectants and preservatives may be used. The rest is purified water.

Preferably, the above-described cosmetic agent is present as a gel. Optionally, viscosity agents, vegetable oils, silicone oils, higher fatty acids, esters, surfactants, humectants and preservatives may be used. The rest is purified water.

In a further preferred embodiment, the skin care product described above is present as a cream. Optionally, viscosity agents, vegetable oils, silicone oils, higher fatty acids, esters, surfactants, humectants and preservatives may be used. The rest is purified water.

In addition, the cream may include tomato extract, grape skin extract, fermented broccoli and almond oil, each 0.050-2.000% by weight.

The method for producing the cosmetic composition of the present invention with oleoresin capsicum which causes the slowing down of the photoaging process comprises a step S1 (solubilization step) of solubilizing the capsicum oleoresin and a step S2 (mixing step) of solubilizing the capsicum oleoresin with adenosine, a polyphenol compound and / or hygroscopic mineral is mixed.

The process for the preparation of the cosmetic agent according to the invention with oleoresin capsicum is preferably carried out such that in the solubilization step S1 in the stirred tank, as in 2 Oleoresin Capsicum is mixed with lecithin, fatty acid, siloxane and glycerin, heated to 40-50 ° C and stirred under a reduced pressure of 0.4-0.533 bar (300-400 mmHg).

Preferably, the solubilized capsicum oleoresin can be formed with relatively slow stirring. Since it has a high viscosity of 35,000-45,000 cp (viscometer: BROOKFIELD DV-E / spindle No. 6) and low flowability, it can not be well solubilized with rapid stirring. A reduced pressure is necessary to smooth the mixing of the individual components by the elimination of the air bubbles. This ensures high reliability and quality of the solubilized oleoresin capsicum as end product.

In addition, it is preferable that the stirring tank, as in 2 shown, provided with a central impeller and a lateral impeller and these can be rotated simultaneously in different directions in order to maximize the efficiency of the solubilization of Oleoresin Capsicum.

The highest speeds of the central impeller and the side impeller in the stirring tank under a reduced pressure, as in 2 are shown to be increased up to about 3,600 rpm (central) and up to about 45-60 rpm (lateral), whereby with rapid stirring, the solubilized Capsicum oleoresin with a high viscosity is not well solubilized due to its low flowability. For this reason, it is preferable for a smooth solubilization to be stirred at a relatively low speed, that is, at a stirring speed of the central impeller of 1,000 - 1,500 rpm and the lateral impeller of 15-20 rpm.

In the following, the embodiments of the cosmetic agent according to the invention with oleoresin capsicum, which causes the slowing down of the photoaging process, are described in more detail.
