Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic and a method for producing the same, and more particularly, to a cosmetic useful for degrading advanced glycation end products related to skin aging and improving aging. .

  Aging is a phenomenon that humans always meet if they live long, and it is said that early signs have already begun in their 30s or 40s. The skin loses its elasticity due to aging, and the skin that is light-skinned is darkened and its appearance is never preferable. It is a feeling that everyone wants to be beautiful, and it can be said that development of a means to resist such aging is desired.

  Regarding aging, even if it is limited to skin aging, many mechanisms have been proposed, and anti-aging means based on each mechanism have been devised. For example, a result obtained by a method of constructing an experimental model by a method of inducing photoaging by cumulatively irradiating light and screening a component that resists this (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2) Etc. can be exemplified. In such photoaging, it is known that the dermis collagen fibers are ruptured, the dermis collagen fiber bundle structure is broken, and the like, and the dermis elasticity and water retention ability are lost. A method of blending such a component for normalizing dermal collagen fiber bundles with an external preparation for skin is also a stream of development of one effective anti-aging external preparation for skin. (See, for example, Patent Document 3) Other than this, generation of Maillard reaction and subsequent advanced glycation end products (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as AGEs) are the aging mechanisms that have attracted attention in recent years. Accumulation. Such a reaction is a mechanism in which the skin protein is deprived of its function because it oxidatively denatures the skin protein, and this is reflected in various states of aging. It is said that such AGE generation reaction is an irreversible reaction, and once AGEs are generated, they only accumulate thereafter. Various components have been reported for the suppression of the production of AGEs, but only an olive extract and a yukinoshita extract are known for the degradation of AGEs. (For example, see Patent Document 4 and Patent Document 5) AGEs are products generated as a result of the Maillard reaction, but the Maillard reaction is a Schiff base formed by a non-catalytic condensation reaction between a living amino group and a carbonyl group. The azomethine bond undergoes an Amadori transition, and the Amadori transition product undergoes a complex reaction such as dehydration, condensation, cyclization, and cross-linking, resulting in brown, fluorescence, insolubilization and a later product. Dividing into late stages, AGEs are this final product. These AGEs are usually difficult to decompose, but it is known that they can be decomposed by cleaving the CC bond between the ketones of the α-diketone structure existing in AGEs. However, only N-phenacyl thiazolium bromide is known as such a cleavage-active component, and this substance is a cosmetic component. It is hard to say that it is appropriate in terms of safety.

  On the other hand, the extract of plants belonging to the genus Rosaceae Potentilla contains a component having a Maillard reaction inhibitory action (see, for example, Patent Document 6 and Patent Document 7), and has an inhibitory action on matrix metalloprotease. Although it is known that the component which has it is contained (for example, refer patent document 8), the component which has a rough skin prevention action is contained (for example, refer patent document 9) etc., accumulated AGEs It is not known at all that a component having an action of decomposing and reducing the content of bismuth is contained.

  On the other hand, as for the relationship between rosaceae plants and AGEs, it is known that the extract of rosaceae bituminous plants contains a component having an inhibitory action on the generation of AGEs (see, for example, Patent Document 10). There is no known component that decomposes accumulated AGEs.

  The cosmetic of the present invention is produced according to the method for producing a cosmetic of the present invention, and contains an extract or a fraction-purified product of the plant belonging to the genus Rosaceae, which is effective for degrading AGEs. It is characterized by that. Since the cosmetic of the present invention has an action of decomposing accumulated AGEs, it improves the loss of skin elasticity, dullness of skin, decrease in moisturizing ability, etc. caused by accumulation of the AGEs, and is elastic and dull. It can lead to no, fresh skin. Moreover, since it mix | blends after confirming an effect about such an effect, there is no fluctuation | variation of the titer for every lot and it can be set as biochemically stable cosmetics. Usually, in cosmetics containing herbal medicine extracts and the like, the content of the active ingredient varies depending on the lot, place of origin, and season of the herbal medicine, and thus the physiological effect may vary greatly. The physiological potency is stable even in a form containing a herbal extract as an active ingredient.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to such examples.

  After cutting 100 g of dried whole plant of Potentilla genus Tormentilla, 500 ml of 50% aqueous ethanol solution was added and heated under reflux for 3 hours. After cooling, insolubles were removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. And then freeze-dried to obtain an extract 1. Thereafter, 200 ml of water and 200 ml of ethyl acetate were added to Extract 1 to perform liquid-liquid extraction, and the ethyl acetate phase was collected and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain Extract 2.

  Extracts 1 and 2 were measured for the C—C bond cleavage ability of α-diketone according to the procedure of [0011]. Extract 1 has a cleavage capacity of 56%, and it has been found that it is necessary to increase its effectiveness by fractional purification. The extract 2 subjected to fractional purification was 85.4%, and it was found that the extract 2 had an appropriate effect when blended into cosmetics.

For Extract 2, according to the procedure of [0014], the dose of the extract was shaken to measure glucose-bovine serum albumin AGE resolution. The results are shown in Table 1. From this, it can be seen that Extract 2 effectively decomposes AGEs even at 10 ⁻⁵ %. Therefore, a cosmetic containing ^10-5 % or more of extract 2 can be said to be a cosmetic of the present invention.

  Using the extract 2, the lotion 1 which is the cosmetic of the present invention was prepared according to the formulation of Table 2. That is, the prescription ingredients were solubilized by stirring at 80 ° C. and stirred and cooled to obtain a skin lotion 1.

  Using the lotion 1 and the lotion 1 of Comparative Example 1 in which the extract 2 of the lotion 1 was replaced with water, a use test was conducted with a person who had a dull skin age 60 years or older as a panelist. Prepare 10 panelists and divide them into 2 groups of 5 so that there is no variation. 1 group will receive lotion 1 and the remaining 1 group will receive the lotion of Comparative Example 1 and will receive the appropriate amount twice a day for 12 weeks. We had you use continuously in aspect to apply. Before and after the test, the ΔL value with respect to the white plate was measured with a color difference meter manufactured by Konica Minolta Co., Ltd., and the degree of increase in lightness was measured by the equation: ΔL value after test−ΔL before test. As a result, the group of the lotion 1 was 12.3 ± 3.6, the group of the comparative example 1 was −1.9 ± 2.2, and in the lotion 1 use group which is the cosmetic of the present invention, AGEs Is decomposed, and it can be seen that yellowishness and dullness are improved. In addition, the elasticity of the skin was also felt in the skin lotion 1 use group.

  The present invention can be applied to cosmetics.
