Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a composition for external use on the skin, and more particularly, to a composition containing an aqueous layer produced in a process of producing a fragrance by steam distillation from a plant used as a spice. It relates to a composition for external use on the skin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art
For cosmetics, tap water and ground water are filtered through physical filtration or ion exchange resins, etc.
Purified water obtained by removing impurities is widely used. As the fragrance for perfuming cosmetics and the like, rose and lavender flowers and leaves such as peppermint are steam-distilled to obtain rose oil, lavender oil, and peppermint oil. Since some of the components are easily dissolved in water, the water layer at the time of steam distillation is used as rose water and lavender water as a part of purified water for cosmetics.

[0003] On the other hand, the use of an oil layer obtained by steam distillation of a part of a plant or a seed used as a spice as a spice has been used for a long time. It is widely used in foods and beverages such as confectionery, processed foods, and pharmaceuticals. However, no study has been made on the application of the water layer generated in the process of steam distillation performed to obtain essential oils from spices, and at present it is discarded.

[0004] Spices have a bactericidal and antibacterial effect since they have been used as a seasoning and a preservative for meat and the like as a condiment and flavor improver since ancient times, and thus have been prized for purposes different from flavors such as flower essential oils. Was. Therefore, the water layer (spice water, hereinafter referred to as spice water) generated in the process of producing spices by steam distillation from plants used as spices, which has been discarded without considering its use at all, is conventionally considered. It was desired to use it effectively.

In addition, various moisturizing agents have been used as external preparations for the skin in order to prevent excessive drying of the skin, maintain luster and prevent rough skin. Most of them are oily bases, so that moist feeling and moist feeling can be obtained, but unpleasant feeling such as stickiness occurs, and skin occluding is not preferable for skin physiology. Therefore, there has been a demand for an external preparation for skin having no stickiness and excellent moist feeling and moist feeling.

[0006] Under such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a composition for external use on the skin which is highly safe and has excellent moist and moist feeling.

[0007]

The present inventors have made intensive studies and found that spice water contains various useful components having an antibacterial action, an antioxidant action and a moisturizing action. Since it is a naturally-occurring substance and has a content that does not cause any problem in safety, it has been found that by blending the spice water, a composition for external use having high safety, excellent moist feeling and excellent moist feeling can be obtained. The present invention has been completed.

[0008] That is, the present invention resides in a composition for external use on the skin, characterized in that it contains an aqueous layer produced in the process of producing a fragrance by steam distillation from a plant used as a spice.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Plants used to obtain spice water according to the present invention include clove, nutmeg, ginger, pepper, cinnamon, basil, allspice, aniseed and cardamom, which are conventionally used as spices. , Garlic, caraway,
Cumin, coriander, thyme, fennel, star anise, clary sage, citronella and the like can be mentioned. Particularly preferred are clove buds, nutmeg fruit, ginger root mass, pepper seeds and the like. The water layer produced in the process of collecting fragrance by steam distillation from these plants can be used as it is as a spice water, but it should be used after purification by filtration, centrifugation, fractionation, etc. Can also. In addition, it is also possible to concentrate and dry it by a conventional method before use.

[0010] As an industrially-produced method for producing spice water, a conventional steam distillation apparatus may be used, and no special apparatus is required. For the production, for example, after putting dry clove buds, which have been pulverized as necessary, into a still pot, steam is supplied to obtain condensed water in an amount equivalent to 5 times the amount of the raw material, and condensed by a condenser By separating the lower water layer of the condensed water storage tank as clove water, spice water used in the present invention can be obtained. Clove water obtained as described above contains eugenol and the like, which are main components of aroma, but clove oil hardly contains sesquiterpenes such as caryophyllene. In addition, the contained components and the composition ratio thereof are greatly different from those of clove oil which is generally used, for example, a large amount of acetic acid which is hardly contained in clove oil. Clove water also contains unidentified trace components, which are considered to have the effect of imparting a moist feeling and a moist feeling when used in an external composition.

The composition for external use of the present invention can be used as various drugs, quasi-drugs, cosmetics and the like. The dosage form is not particularly limited, and can be various, specifically, ointments, lotions, emulsions, creams, packs, granules, cataplasms and the like. The cosmetic is not particularly limited as long as it is applied to human skin including the scalp. Skin cosmetics, foundations, makeup cosmetics such as lipsticks, hair cosmetics such as shampoos, rinses and treatments, bath additives , Face wash, and the like.

In addition, the composition for external use of the present invention may be used, if necessary, for example, in the case of cosmetics, as long as the effect of imparting a moist or moist feeling is not impaired, ie, various components commonly used, ie, oil components. , Surfactants, humectants, thickeners,
Preservatives, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, ultraviolet scattering agents, fragrances, pigments and the like can be combined and compounded.

The amount of spice water added to the composition for external use according to the present invention is not particularly limited. Although it varies widely depending on the purpose and target, it cannot be specified unconditionally, but it is generally used at 3 to 90% by mass, and 0.0001 to 5.0% by mass in terms of dry matter. Can be used.
