Description

  The present invention relates to functional cosmetics / cosmetics (hereinafter referred to as “cosmetics”, which are formulated with amygdalin or an extract or extract of a plant containing amygdalin such as apricot kernel, peach seed, persimmon leaves and seeds. "Collectively"). Such cosmetics, when applied to skin and hair, maintain and improve physiological functions of skin and hair by eliminating active oxygen, antioxidant, wound healing, antibacterial / anti-wrinkle, deodorant / deodorant, etc. As a result, especially skin and hair aging, degeneration and mutation are prevented, and various disorders and lesions of skin and hair such as spots, rough skin, wrinkles, senile plaques, gray hair, hair loss, etc. are prevented and cured to maintain a healthy state. It is effective to do.

  The skin is the largest organ in the human body, as a barrier to prevent external damage irritation, water loss, and harmful factor invasion, and to maintain homeostasis by regulating body temperature, and at the same time as percutaneous breathing and transcutaneous excretion organs It also functions as a sensory organ. The hair, together with the sebaceous glands and the blood vessels / nervous system, constitutes the appendage of the skin and thus functions as a protective and protective organ as well, and is formed by keratinocytes and pigment cells in the dermal papilla in the hair follicle. However, growth and hair removal are repeated according to the hair cycle, and in a healthy state, hair is removed at a rate of about 50 to 70 hairs / day, and then a constant amount of hair is maintained by the growth of new hair. Hair is composed of keratin, which is a hard protein like skin, but its amino acid composition is different and the content of cystine, which is a cross-linked bond, is as high as 16 to 18%.

  In human skin and hair, in addition to external injuries caused by physical and chemical stresses such as ultraviolet rays, mental stress, burns, and bruises, aging-related stains, wrinkles, white hair, excessive hair loss, etc. In addition, it develops pathological symptoms such as atopic dermatitis, warts, tumors, malignant melanoma, pathological alopecia due to abnormal immune function and is susceptible to stings from plants and insects, resulting in skin and hair As a result, the body's original physiological function is impaired, and eventually, the body's homeostatic function is impaired, resulting in various disorders, lesions and diseases.

  In addition to the above-mentioned obstacles, lesions and diseases, odors emanating from the skin and hair, so-called body odors, often become a problem. Body odor has a specific odor depending on race, sex, age, etc., and sweat glands widely distributed in skin and hair, especially sweat and neutral fat secreted from apocrine glands and sebaceous glands distributed in specific areas Sebum is caused by saturated or unsaturated lower and higher fatty acid groups, and aldehydes, lactones and androstenoids, which are produced by degradation by resident microorganisms such as acne and yeast that grow on the skin and hair. It is supposed to occur. Sebaceous glands, which are often found on the scalp and forehead, secrete sebum containing lipids such as neutral fat and cholesterol, but they are decomposed into short-chain fatty acids, higher fatty acids, aldehydes, and lactones by resident microorganisms such as yeast and acne bacteria, resulting in odors. Cause. In addition, underwear and socks that are in close contact with the human body have changed into a suitable culture medium for these resident microorganisms, especially in the high temperature and humidity from spring to autumn, and unpleasant sweat odor, especially odor due to apocrine glands and keratin due to eccrine gland secretions. Foot odor due to decomposition is a serious problem.

  Antiperspirant and deodorant products used to prevent and prevent body odors such as hazy odor, sweat odor and perspiration are known antiperspirant components such as aluminum chloride and zinc oxide, and quaternary ammonium salts and chlorinated phenols. Contains bacteriostatic and disinfectant. However, these conventional general-purpose antiperspirant components have an unclear elucidation of the exact mechanism for publishing them, and the antiperspirant effect is not sufficient, and there is a problem in toxicity to the human body. In addition, disinfectants and bacteriostatic agents used as deodorant ingredients have a broad antibacterial activity spectrum and low toxicity to the human body, such as skin irritation, and are considered odorless. In the presence of mineral components, the antibacterial effect is greatly diminished and it is easy to acquire resistance by microorganisms. As a result, not only is the deodorizing and deodorizing effect not sufficient, but there is little persistence, rather than a short time after application We apologize for the problem of generating off-flavors. Chlorine compounds are not only toxic but also cause environmental pollution and have many problems. Therefore, the conventionally known commercially available antiperspirant / deodorant containing the above-mentioned components has drawbacks in many respects such as effects and efficacy, in particular, long-lasting effect and feeling of use, and is not satisfactory.

  In order to maintain healthy physiological functions of complex and important skin and hair, such as skin wound treatment agent, cleaning agent for removing dirt, deodorant agent for elimination and prevention of bad breath and body odor, moisturizing, oil replenishment, etc. Cosmetics such as skin conditioning and skin protection, basic cosmetics such as physiological preparations for collagen synthesis promotion, antioxidant, UV protection, hair restoration and hair growth, and various skin care and hair care products and incense Cosmetics are on sale. However, all of them have been provided with a single function, and a product having a composite function that comprehensively improves various disorders / lesions and odors associated with the skin and hair as described above has not been commercially available. Not at all. There is a strong demand for the development of multifunctional skin care and hair care products with improved safety such as performance / effect, durability and skin irritation.

Problems to be solved by the invention

  An object of the present invention is to provide an improved cosmetic that protects skin and hair from damage / lesion, aging, and physicochemical stress, and maintains and further enhances the physiological function of skin and hair. That is.

Means for solving the problem

  As a result of various studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor has found that amygdalin or an extract of an amygdalin-containing plant has an antioxidant action, skin conditioning action, wound healing promoting action, antibacterial / anti-wrinkle action, cleaning action, deodorization action -It discovered that it had a deodorizing effect etc., and also discovered that the said subject can be solved by continuing further examination and mix | blending this with cosmetics. That is, this invention relates to the cosmetics formed by mix | blending the extract of amygdalin or an amygdalin containing plant.

  Amygdalin has the chemical name [6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl] oxy] benzeneacetonitrile ([6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl] oxy) benzeneacetonitile) or D-mandelonitrile-β-D-glucoside-6-β-D-glucoside, which is a glycoside in which 2 moles of β-1,6-linked glucose is further linked to benzocyanohydrin by β-glucoside. is there. The melting point is 220 ° C. for trihydrate and 200 ° C. for anhydride, it is easily soluble in water and hardly soluble in alcohol, and the pH of the saturated aqueous solution is up to about 7. As far as the applicant knows, it has never been reported that amygdalin exerts a specific pharmacological effect when applied externally or locally.

  As for apricots, peaches and persimmon seeds, and plum seeds or leaves containing a relatively large amount of amygdalin, aside from the fact that apricots and persimmons have long been used as antitussives and expectorants, there are no known special uses. There are no known cases of topical or topical administration.

  Amygdalin is known to be contained in trace amounts in vegetables such as Japanese cypress, bamboo shoots, and grains such as brown rice, mackerel, millet, buckwheat, buckwheat and soybeans in addition to the fruit seeds described above. Amygdalin is converted into a component compound, one mole of mandelonitrile and two moles of glucose under the action of β-glucosidase such as emulsine. Mandelonitrile is toxic by hydroxynitrile lyase (elimination enzyme) It is decomposed into benzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide. β-Glucosidase is widely recognized in bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. On the other hand, in mammals including humans, several types of α-glucosidases that break down α-glucoside bonds, such as starch ingested in the intestine, have been found. In contrast, β-glucosidase that breaks down the β-glucoside bond found between cellulose and glycoside aglycones and glycones is only slightly present in the liver and spleen, except for parasitic microorganisms. It is said that there is no. Therefore, for microorganisms such as bacteria and molds that have a relatively large amount of β-glucosidase, toxic substances are produced according to the amount of β-glucosidase secreted and present when applied by spraying or spraying amygdalin, As a result, it is considered that a limited and specific microbicidal action is exhibited.

  Amygdalin is usually extracted from the above-mentioned stone seeds such as apricot and peach seeds with water, hot water or an alcoholic aqueous solution such as an ethanol aqueous solution, purified and isolated, and is commercially available as a reagent. In the present invention, it is preferable that an extract obtained by extracting the seeds of such stone fruits with hot water or an alcoholic aqueous solution can be used as it is.

The invention's effect

  As described above, amygdalin is a kind of naturally occurring glycoside, and flavonoids such as anthocyanins, flavones, hesperidin, quercetin glycosides, and saponins, which are plant pigments, are similar glycosides. It is clear that it has various physiological functions as phytochemicals, such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral effects, and also exhibits synergistic effects with phytochemicals contained in ginger, turmeric, etc. Can be expected to do. Therefore, when an appropriate amount is applied externally to the skin and hair, favorable physiological effects such as skin conditioning, hair restoration, antibacterial / anti-wrinkle, cleaning, deodorization / deodorization, etc. are obtained, and the physiological function of the skin and hair is maintained / improved. As a result, it is possible to improve the skin / hair damage / lesion, promote healing, and prevent aging, degeneration and mutation. Accordingly, it can prevent and heal skin roughening, wrinkles and spots, white hair and pathological hair loss, and can exhibit a deodorizing and deodorizing effect against body odor such as scent and aging odor.

  That is, the present invention comprises amygdalin or an extract or extract from amygdalin-containing plant as an active ingredient, skin conditioning, hair nourishment, cleaning, disinfection, deodorization / deodorization, promotion of wound healing, gray hair / hair removal The present invention relates to functional cosmetics that are excellent in various physiological activities such as prevention and healing. Conventionally, there is no known cosmetic containing amygdalin or an extract or extract from an amygdalin-containing plant, and such cosmetics are suitable for skin conditioning, hair nourishing, cleaning, antibacterial / anti-wrinkle, deodorant / It has not been known at all that it exerts favorable physiological activities on skin and hair such as deodorization, prevention and healing activities such as white hair and hair loss.

  The active ingredient used in the present invention is not limited to amygdalin itself, but may be any as long as it does not contain harmful ingredients as long as it is a plant extract or extract containing amygdalin. Examples of the latter include leaves and seed extracts and extracts of plants containing amygdalin, such as apricot kernels, peach seeds, plum seed seeds, and persimmon seeds and leaves.

  Amygdalin is commercially available as a reagent, and such a commercially available product may be used as it is, and if necessary, it is dissolved by stirring with heating in aqueous ethanol or the like, and used in cosmetics as a colorless transparent solution. You can also In that case, the mixing ratio of amygdalin alone to the final cosmetic is 0.1 to 20.0% by weight, preferably 0.2 to 10.0% by weight, and most preferably 0.5 to 5.0% by weight. is there.

  Extraction from an amygdalin-containing plant is obtained, for example, by extracting leaves, fruits, seeds, stems, etc. of an amygdalin-containing plant with water or aqueous alcohol, for example, an aqueous solution of 20 to 80% by weight ethanol or isopropanol. Specifically, plants containing amygdalin, such as peach seed, apricot kernel, persimmon leaf or its seed, and plum seed seed, and extracts and extracts thereof with water or aqueous alcohol solutions are exemplified. These extracts are, for example, Kashiwanoha hot water extract, which has been drunk in summer especially as “Kashiwayu” since the Edo period. It is self-evident that it is safe and harmless to the human body because it has customs and does not contain any harmful or toxic substances.

  As an extraction solvent for the amygdalin-containing plant, water or a hydrophilic solvent, for example, a water-containing alcohol solution such as ethanol or isopropanol is used, but hot water or an aqueous ethanol solution of about 20 to 80% by weight is preferable.

  Extraction is done by adding 2 to 10 times the amount of water by weight to seeds obtained from commercially available apricot seeds, peach seeds, ome, or persimmon seeds, etc. A light brown transparent solution can be obtained by heating to boiling or adding the same amount of an aqueous solution of 25 to 35% by weight of alcohol and allowing to stand at room temperature or intermittently as appropriate for 30 to 40 days. And then filtered as necessary.

  The obtained extract is filtered or concentrated or evaporated to dryness as it is to obtain a powdery extract, and then a specific amount is added to various cosmetics applied to the skin and hair by a conventional method. What is necessary is just to mix | blend.

  Such an extract or extract may be blended in the blending ratio range that is the blending amount of the above pure and simple substance amygdalin with respect to the final finished cosmetic.

  Amygdalin or an amygdalin-containing plant extract or extract can exhibit the above-mentioned preferred effects and actions by being added to cosmetics used for skin and hair of all dosage forms, and also contains preservatives such as parabens. Can be omitted or its firing capacity can be reduced. Specific examples of cosmetics include, for example, soaps, cleansing creams, facial cleansing creams, body shampoos, shaving creams, and other skin lotions, lotions, emulsions, milky lotions and other skin lotions, emollient creams and various skins. Activators such as creams, massage creams, foam packs, essences, sun protection milks, whitening and sunscreens such as sunscreens, basic cosmetics such as anti-wrinkle, anti-stain and anti-aging cosmetics, antiperspirants, deodorants, and colognes Examples include fragrance products, bath oils such as bath oil, finished cosmetics such as lipsticks, hair cosmetics such as hair shampoos, hair rinses, hair arts, and oral care products such as mouthwashes and toothpastes.

  In addition, amygdalin or an extract of amygdalin-containing plant is not used as a cosmetic in order to prevent / suppress / remove body odors such as sweat odor and sebum odor, odor of scalp and hair and bad breath, etc. An amygdalin-containing solution having an appropriate concentration using water or an aqueous ethanol solution is preferably used alone as it is, for example, by spraying. Such an amygdalin-containing solution is sprayed not only for the human body, but also for preventing and removing odors from pets, clothes, carpets, etc., as well as to prevent and remove off-flavors such as tobacco odors in closed spaces such as indoors and cars. Applicable by
