Description

  The present invention relates to a composition for scalp and hair that can prevent and prevent hair loss and hair loss, and promote and maintain hair growth.

  Conventionally, in order to prevent alopecia and the previous stage of hair loss and gray hair, it is important to keep the scalp clean and supply appropriate hair-growth nourishing ingredients on a daily basis. To keep the scalp clean, the scalp and hair are usually washed with a detergent containing a surfactant such as shampoo to remove sebum along with dirt from the scalp, and then a hair growth nourishing agent is supplied to the scalp. Is.

  However, the surfactant contained in the shampoo destroys the sebum film that is the barrier of the scalp. On the other hand, it is difficult to remove scalp and pore dirt, stratum corneum, and lipid peroxide sufficiently with normal hair washing, and surfactants and silicone resin components are likely to remain on the scalp. It adheres to and solidifies or melts the hair roots and hair follicles to cause clogging of pores. As a result, in the scalp, sebum accumulates in the hair follicle due to abnormal sebum secretion and sebum regurgitation, leading to hair loss, itching and dandruff. Even if a drug or cosmetic that has a hair-growth effect is applied in such a state, the hair-growth cycle or cell cycle is disturbed, sebum secretion is further inhibited, sebum secretion disorder worsens, and hair matrix tissue cells Atrophy and stagnation of peripheral blood flow occur, and the scalp loses elasticity and hardens. In addition, the hair root function decreases or stops due to the hardening of the scalp, causing abnormal hair growth cycles, resulting in hair loss and hair loss, which eventually leads to a decrease in hair.

The present inventor has already provided a cholesterol-lowering action for a composition containing a water-soluble extractive component of a bacterium belonging to basidiomycetes and a water-soluble extractive component and / or a water / alcohol mixed extract component of the root of the family Araceae. (Patent document 1).

It is preferable to use the same container as that used for extraction with hot water. The extraction operation is preferably performed using a reflux condenser.

  The following operation can be mentioned as a typical example of extracting basidiomycetous fungi of the genus Amanita and Kawaratake with a mixture of water and alcohol. 35 g / v% ethanol solution is added to 150 g of shrimp chopped shrimp (preferably fruit body, preferably striped) to make 1000 ml, and this liquid is maintained at about 70 ° C. for about 30 Decoct time. Alternatively, immerse in a dark room at room temperature for 1 month. After 30 hours at 70 ° C. or 1 month at room temperature, hot water (or water) can be added so that the total amount becomes 1000 ml. It is preferable that the alcohol concentration finally becomes about 20 v / v%.

  Moreover, the following operation can be mentioned as a typical example in the case of extracting the roots of Argiaceae plants with water / alcohol mixed solution. A 35 v / v% ethanol solution is added to 30 g of dried roots of Araceae plants that have been crushed into pieces to make 1000 ml, and this solution is maintained at about 70 ° C. and roasted for about 30 hours. Alternatively, immerse in a dark room at room temperature for 1 month. After 30 hours at 70 ° C. or 1 month at room temperature, hot water (or water) can be added so that the total amount becomes 1000 ml.

  The basidiomycetous raw material and the root raw material of the family Araceae can be extracted separately, but the raw material composition containing both can be extracted with the same extraction medium and simultaneously extracted. Even in the case of simultaneous extraction, the extraction conditions for the above-mentioned basidiomycetous raw materials or root raw materials of Argiaceae plants can be employed.

  A typical example of simultaneous extraction is shown below. Add 800 ml of hot water to 10-15 g fruit body of 3 mushrooms and 3 g of root of chixetsu carrot, which are crushed into 5 mm square or less, preferably about 0.5-2 mm, and extract in the heating range described above Decoct the remaining amount of the liquid to 500 ml. Preferably, the heating adjustment is performed so that the volume becomes 500 ml in about 30 minutes. Alternatively, immerse in a dark room at room temperature for 1 month. After 30 hours at 70 ° C. or 1 month at room temperature, adjust the total amount as necessary. Also, add a 35-40 v / v% ethanol solution to a raw material mixture of the same form and composition (however, 100-150 g fruit body of garlic mushroom and 30 g of chixen carrot root) to make 1000 ml. Maintain at 70 ° C. for about 30 hours. Alternatively, immerse in a dark room at room temperature for 1 month. After 30 hours at 70 ° C. or 1 month at room temperature, hot water (or water) is added so that the total amount becomes 1000 ml. It is preferable that the alcohol concentration finally becomes about 20 v / v%. Since these two kinds of extracts each contain all of the active ingredients of the present invention, they can be provided individually as the present composition. On the other hand, two kinds of extracts can be mixed in advance to make this composition as one agent, or two preparations that are mixed at the time of application, or they can be applied separately but simultaneously. Provided as a scheduled set of compositions.

  As the composition thus prepared, a composition having an oxidation-reduction potential of 1230 mV or less at the time of solution is used. Preferably, those having an oxidation-reduction potential of 900 mV or less are used as the composition of the present invention. In particular, it is preferable to use those having such a redox potential as an antitumor active composition or a blood glucose effect agent composition. The redox potential is a value measured in an aqueous solvent, preferably in water. For the stock solution obtained by the above extraction or its aqueous dilution, the redox potential can be measured as it is. When the composition is solidified, it is measured in a state where it is dissolved and suspended in an appropriate solvent or water.

  The oxidation-reduction potential of the solution of the present composition is preferably 330 mV or less, more preferably 300 mV or less, and further preferably 250 mV or less. Most preferably, it is 0 mV or less. The redox potential is preferably −1200 mV or more, more preferably −300 mV or more.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the pH of the solution of this composition is 4.5 or more and 6.5 or less. This is because weak acidity is a pH convenient for living cells, and the active ingredient of the present composition functions most effectively. The composition obtained by extracting each extraction raw material with hot water usually has a pH of 4.5 or more and 6.5 or less in the state of a stock solution.

(Form of composition)
The extract thus obtained, for example, a water extract and / or a water / alcohol mixed extract, can be used as it is, or can be diluted as appropriate and used as the composition of the present invention. If necessary, it can be concentrated to give an active ingredient. Moreover, a dried extract component is obtained by further drying. In consideration of the dosage form and dosage form of the composition, an additive that stabilizes the formulation or the extracted component may be added when the extract is concentrated or dried. In particular, for liquid dosage forms, it is easy to use the extract as it is or after concentration or dilution as necessary.

  In the present composition, the content of various extraction components is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.05% by weight or more, more preferably 0.1% by weight or more, based on the dry weight of the extraction components, Preferably it is 0.5 weight% or more. Moreover, Preferably it is 5 weight% or less.

  These active ingredients may be artificially produced based on the extracted components and their compositions. In the composition of the present invention, only the present composition can be used as it is as a composition for scalp and hair, but it does not preclude containing other active ingredients. Other active ingredients can be included as long as they do not interfere with the synergistic action of the two kinds of extraction components in the composition of the present invention. As such other components, other components usually used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and quasi drugs, for example, various oily or aqueous components, surfactants, humectants, thickeners, preservatives, ultraviolet absorbers, An antioxidant, a fragrance, a colorant, water, alcohol, various chemicals and the like can be blended and prepared according to the intended dosage form by a conventional method.

  In addition, the present composition may be an external preparation applied to the scalp or hair as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or quasi drugs, and the dosage form is arbitrary. For example, any of liquids, emulsions, ointments, creams, gels, aerosols and the like that can be applied externally may be used. Specific embodiments suitable for the present composition include hair art, hair cream, hair lotion, hair spray, mousse, shampoo, rinse, treatment, scalp treatment and the like. In particular, hair lotions, hair nicks, shampoos, hair colorants and the like are preferable.

  In the present invention, it is particularly preferable to use honey and / or royal jelly as part of the substrate. By using these, it is possible to improve the moisture retention of the scalp and hair, thereby ensuring and enhancing the action of the composition. Honey is also preferable in terms of smoothing the comb. Preferably, honey and royal jelly are preferably used, and more preferably in a range of 5 to 8 parts by weight of royal jelly with respect to 1 part by weight of honey. These are preferably mixed in advance.

  In particular, when the composition is used as a lotion or tonic, gum arabic or camellia oil can be added to enhance the fixability of the extracted component to the scalp and hair. These can be added in the range of 0.1 wt% or more and 15 wt% or less of the entire composition. Moreover, the hair-styling effect can be enhanced using glycerin or the like. The alcohol concentration is preferably 5% by weight or less of the entire composition. It is because the irritation to the scalp increases when the content exceeds 5% by weight. In order to adjust the alcohol concentration, it can be adjusted by the amount of water and alcohol used, as well as the amount of water / alcohol mixed extract or water extract used.

  In addition, when used as a shampoo, various fatty acid metal salts (preferably alkali metals such as potassium and sodium), palm oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, or fatty acid salts derived from these fats and oils can be used. In addition, lecithin, squalane, collagen, stearic acid, oleic acid and the like can be added to enhance the surface active effect. A preferred example of the shampoo composition is 10% by weight to 40% by weight, more preferably 15% by weight to 35% by weight, more preferably 15% by weight to 35% by weight, based on the total composition. Preferably, the composition contains about 25% by weight of a metal salt of a fatty acid in an amount of 0.1% by weight to 10% by weight and has a pH of 6.0 to 8.5.

  Moreover, when using this composition as a coloring agent for hair, it is preferable to contain a squid ink component as a coloring agent. As the squid ink component, it is preferable to use a dried squid ink powder suspended in the above water extract and / or water / alcohol extract. For example, it is preferable to prepare a squid ink slurry at a ratio of 100 ml or more and 1000 ml or less of the water / alcohol mixed extract and / or water extract to 3 g of dried squid ink powder. More preferably, it is 200 ml or more and 400 ml or less, More preferably, it is about 300 ml. Moreover, it is preferable that such a squid ink slurry shall be 10 to 50 weight% of the whole composition. When used as a hair coloring agent, it is preferable that gum arabic is contained in an amount of 0.5% by weight or more and 5% by weight or less of the entire composition. This is because when the hair is in this range, the squid ink does not easily peel from the hair when the hair is dried, and the fixing action is easily exhibited. More preferably, it is 1 to 3% by weight. Moreover, it is preferable that it is pH 6 or less of a composition, More preferably, it is 4.5 or more and 6.0 or less. Glycerin can also be added to the hair colorant composition. Further, the alcohol concentration of the hair colorant as a whole is preferably 5% by weight or less. In addition, the coloring agent for hair containing a squid ink component as a coloring agent can exhibit a hair growth effect and gradually color the hair by applying it to the hair by using lotion or treatment.
