Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic, and more particularly to a cosmetic that not only has an effect of eliminating facial wrinkles, but also can improve the skin-beautifying effect.

  There is a strong demand for beautiful faces by women at any time, and there is a strong interest especially in eliminating wrinkles that increase with age. In other words, many people think that the number of wrinkles on their face reflects their age, and maintaining the state with as few wrinkles as possible affects the psychology of wanting to look as young as possible. Because.

  Such wrinkles on the face are called facial expression wrinkles, which are groove-like lines formed in the skin by regular movements of facial muscles such as laughing faces. Not only can it be slack, but it becomes apparent when the tension in the facial muscles of the face becomes difficult to be resolved. Here, the tension state of the facial expression muscle is a state in which the state in which the muscle that pulls the skin inward is contracted is maintained.

  Methods to reduce facial wrinkles include a method of removing skin slack by surgery, a method of making facial facial muscles mildly paralyzed by injection of botulinum toxin, and reducing wrinkles themselves, etc. It has been known. In particular, wrinkle reduction treatment using botulinum toxin is called botox treatment, and the effect of relieving tension by lightly paralyzing facial muscles and reducing wrinkles is called a botox effect.

  However, these methods are relatively expensive, and it is easy to understand that these methods were used because the degree of facial change in one treatment was large, and it is economical to use these methods. And psychological obstacles were great. In particular, in the case of botox treatment, periodic administration of botulinum toxin is necessary, and the economic burden tends to be extremely large.

Therefore, it has also been proposed to improve wrinkles with cosmetics without using these methods. Specifically, cosmetics (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) containing an extract of Asparasus lineias, 1 selected from antialol, rioniresinol, rhododendrol and platifironol, and glycosides thereof. Cosmetics containing seeds or two or more kinds (for example, see Patent Document 2), and cosmetics containing one or more of mushroom fruit bodies and / or fungal bed extracts of the genus Mushroom (for example, see Patent Document 2) In other words, cosmetics having various compositions have been proposed.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 06-128121 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-236940 JP 2003-73225 A

  However, it has been difficult to say that the conventionally known cosmetics have a sufficient wrinkle-removing effect to meet the demands of users.

  In other words, conventional cosmetics focus on supplementing components that are deficient in the skin with aging, activation of skin cells, etc., and have not focused on the effects of facial facial muscles at all It is. In particular, for facial wrinkles that are easy to wrinkle because facial muscles are in tension, replenishing ingredients and activating skin cells with cosmetics may not be effective in eliminating wrinkles. .

  In view of the current situation, the present inventors have conducted research and development to provide a cosmetic with an improved wrinkle-removing effect by eliminating the tension state of the facial expression muscle, and the present invention has been achieved. is there.

  The cosmetic composition of the present invention contains an anise fruit extract and argylline, and penetrates subcutaneously by application to the skin to stimulate skin nerves and induces alpha waves in the brain based on the nerve stimulation. Was used as a cosmetic.

  Further, the α-wave inducer is at least one of everlasting extract, red snapper extract, rock rose extract, and french lavender extract, or everlasting extract, red snapper extract, and rock It is also characterized by blending equal amounts of rose extract and French lavender extract.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, it contains anise fruit extract and argylline, penetrates subcutaneously by application to the skin to stimulate skin nerves, and induces α waves in the brain based on the nerve stimulation. As a cosmetic containing a wave inducer, the facial muscles can be relaxed and relaxed using anise fruit extract and algilrin, which has the effect of relaxing facial muscles like botulinum toxin in botox treatment. Inducing α waves in the brain with an α wave inducer can promote relaxation of tension from the nervous system, effectively relax facial expression muscles, and improve the effect of eliminating wrinkles.

  According to the invention of claim 2, in the cosmetic of claim 1, the α-wave inducer is at least one of an everlasting extract, a red snapper extract, a rock rose extract, and a French lavender extract. By doing so, it is possible to reliably induce the α-wave and to improve the effect of eliminating wrinkles.

  According to the invention of claim 3, in the cosmetic of claim 1, as an α-wave inducer, there are an everlasting extract, a red snapper extract, a rock rose extract, and a French lavender extract, By blending in equal amounts, the α wave induction effect can be enhanced, and the effect of eliminating wrinkles can be improved.

  The cosmetic composition of the present invention contains an anise fruit extract and argylline, and penetrates subcutaneously by application to the skin to stimulate skin nerves and induces alpha waves in the brain based on the nerve stimulation. It is made into the cosmetics containing.

  Cosmetics include lotions, creams, emulsions, essences, cleansings, facial cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, hair restorers and the like.

  In this example, a lotion containing an anise fruit extract and argillin was further blended with an everlasting extract, a red snapper extract, a rock rose extract, and a French lavender extract as an α-wave inducer.

The specific prescription is as follows.
・ Everlasting extract 0.5%
・ Chicken extract 0.5%
・ Rockrose extract 0.5%
・ French lavender extract 0.5%
・ Alzylline 0.001%
・ Anise fruit extract 0.001%
・ Polyhydric alcohol 5%
・ Purified water residue

  In addition, as will be described later, it is not a combination of all four extracts of everlasting extract, red snapper extract, rock rose extract and french lavender extract, but everlasting extract, red snapper extract, and rock When either a rose extract or a French lavender extract was selected and added, purified water was added in an amount equal to the amount of the extract in place of the extract other than the selected extract.

  Everlasting extract is a powder of Everlasting, which is a type of flower, dried by sun drying or mechanical drying, and then powdered Everlasting is added to an aqueous solution containing ethanol. It is a liquid produced by leaving this mixed liquid in a dark place for a predetermined period and then filtering off the Everlasting powder and adjusting the components. The everlasting extract is not limited to the one produced by this method, and the mixed solution may be distilled to promote extraction of desired components, or the mixed solution may be boiled.

  Snapper extract is dried by pulverizing the dried Snapper (Akishi grass) by sun-drying or mechanical drying to form a mixed solution by adding powdered Snapper to an aqueous solution to which ethanol or the like is added. It is a liquid produced by leaving the powder of Achillea mill after filtering for a predetermined period in a dark place and adjusting the components. In addition, a red snapper extract is not limited to what was produced | generated by this method, Distillation of a liquid mixture may accelerate | stimulate extraction of a desired component, or a liquid mixture may be boiled down.

  Rock rose extract is a type of flower that is dried by sun drying or mechanical drying to produce a mixed liquid by adding powdered rock rose to an aqueous solution containing ethanol, This liquid mixture is a liquid produced by allowing the mixture to stand in a dark place for a predetermined period of time and then filtering out the powder of Rockrose and adjusting the components. In addition, a rock rose extract is not limited to what was produced | generated by this method, Distilling a liquid mixture may promote extraction of a desired component, or a liquid mixture may be boiled down.

  French lavender extract is a flower of French lavender, which is a type of flower, dried by sun drying or mechanical drying to produce a mixed solution by adding powdered French lavender to an aqueous solution to which ethanol has been added. This liquid mixture is a liquid produced by leaving the mixture in a dark place for a predetermined period of time and then filtering off the French lavender powder to adjust the ingredients. The French lavender extract is not limited to the one produced by this method, and the mixed solution may be distilled to promote extraction of desired components, or the mixed solution may be boiled.

  Applying the lotion prescribed as described above to each subject's face with healthy males and females aged 25 to 58 years old, and measuring the electroencephalogram before application and the electroencephalogram one hour after application, alpha waves The results of observing the expression behavior are shown in Table 1 below. Table 1 shows the results obtained when any one α-wave inducer is added to the lotion from among the everlasting extract, the red snapper extract, the rock rose extract, and the French lavender extract.

  Table 2 shows the results in the case of using any two α-wave inducers added to the lotion from among the everlasting extract, the red rhododendron extract, the rock rose extract, and the French lavender extract.

  The table below shows the results when using any lasting extract, red snapper extract, rock rose extract, and French lavender extract, and all α-wave inducers added to the lotion. 3 shows.

  In Tables 1 to 3, each figure showing the expression state and the activity level of α-wave under each condition indicates that the α-wave activity is higher in the darker region, and the greater the spread of the darker region, the greater It shows that α waves are expressed throughout the brain.

  As shown in Tables 1-3, by adding and using at least one α-wave inducer of everlasting extract, red snapper extract, rock rose extract, and French lavender extract to the lotion, It was confirmed that alpha waves were induced in the electroencephalogram with the use of.

  In particular, the α wave inducer has an average α wave expression rate of 72.2% when one species is blended, and an average α wave expression rate of 83.3% when two species are blended. As can be seen from the fact that the average value of the α-wave expression rate is 88.8%, the more α-wave inducers to be added, the better, the Everlasting extract, the red snapper extract, and the rock rose When the extract and all of the French lavender extract are added, it can be confirmed that the expression rate is 100.0%. By adding four kinds of alpha wave inducers, alpha waves are hardly affected by individual differences. It was confirmed that it could be expressed.

  Table 4 in the table below shows the expression behavior of other brain waves, that is, β waves, δ waves, and θ waves when all of the everlasting extract, the red snapper extract, the rock rose extract, and the French lavender extract are added. Shown in Here, the number of subjects is 18.

  From Table 4, the incidence rate of subjects who became more than the increase was 100.0% for α wave, 5.6% for β wave, 44.4% for δ wave, and 50.0% for θ wave. there were. It can be seen that the incidence rate in the decreasing direction is relatively high except for the α wave, and the influence of the α wave in the electroencephalogram becomes relatively large, which can be induced to a more physically relaxed state.

  Next, the moisturizing effect of a lotion (hereinafter referred to as “test product”) containing all four extracts of the everlasting extract, the red rhododendron extract, the rock rose extract, and the french lavender extract, Comparison was made with a commercially available lotion (hereinafter referred to as “control product”) that does not contain a red snapper extract, a rock rose extract, or a French lavender extract.

  The comparison results are shown in the graph of FIG. In this moisturizing test, the skin moisture content before application of the test product and the target product was measured, and the skin moisture content was measured immediately after application of the test product and the target product and after a predetermined time. Moisture checker manufactured by SCARA Co., Ltd. was used for the measurement of skin moisture content. The test product and the target product are applied to the arm where the difference in skin moisture is relatively small, and a blank area where the test product and the target product are not applied is applied between the test product application area and the target product application area. The amount of skin moisture in each region was measured. Here, the number of subjects is 18.

  In FIG. 1, the transition of the relative value after application | coating of a test article and a target article is shown by setting the skin moisture content before application to 1.0. FIG. 1 displays an average value for all subjects.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the test product generally has a higher water content than the target product. In particular, the water content after 5 minutes is double the water content increased by lotion application in the application area of the target product. It is above and it turns out that higher moisture retention is shown.

  In this way, in the test product, not only the botox effect by anise fruit extract and argillin, but also the moisturizing property of the skin is improved by the relaxing effect by the α wave inducer, and it is effective for the glossy and moist skin quality. You can eliminate the habit.

  Moreover, when the lotion of the test product was applied to the whole body as a whole body lotion, a tendency to increase the blood flow was observed, and this was confirmed by measuring the blood flow.

    FIG. 2 is a graph showing the blood flow measurement test results. After measuring the blood flow before application, apply the lotion of the test product to the whole body, measure the blood flow after a predetermined time, It is the graph which showed the relative value when blood flow volume is 1.0. Here, the number of subjects is 24. The blood flow was measured by measuring the blood flow in the blood vessels below the skin surface using a laser Doppler blood flow meter.

  As shown in FIG. 2, it can be seen that the blood flow increases as time passes after application. This increase in blood flow is effective for promoting metabolism and beauty, and is extremely important from the viewpoint of the effectiveness of cosmetics.

  Moreover, the result of having measured the blood vessel age using the acceleration pulse wave meter is shown in FIG. In the transition of blood vessel age before and after application, the blood vessel age was significantly decreased after application. A decrease in blood vessel age indicates that the blood vessel is soft, and a soft blood vessel suggests that the relaxed state has increased. Therefore, it is recognized that there is a relaxation effect by evaluation from the direction of blood vessel age separately from the electroencephalogram, and this is due to the effects of Everlasting extract, Hydrangea extract, Rockrose extract, French lavender extract. it was thought.

  In this way, by using the lotion of the test product, not only can the moisture retention of the skin be improved, but also blood circulation can be improved, wrinkles can be eliminated and skin age can be improved, Show youthful.

  In this example, the compounding amounts of everlasting extract, red snapper extract, rock rose extract, and French lavender extract are each 0.5%, but may be 0.001 to 5.0%, preferably 0.01 to 2.0%.

  If the blending amount is less than 0.001%, the expression of α-waves may be reduced. If the blending amount is more than 5.0%, the scent of each extract may be strongly felt, which may cause discomfort in some cases. Remembering can cause stress.

  In addition, by blending equal amounts of Everlasting Extract, Rhizome Extract, Rock Rose Extract, and French Lavender Extract, each scent can be harmonized, and the aromatherapy effect also helps the body. It seems to be relaxing and making it easier to express alpha waves.

  In the above-described moisturizing test and blood flow measurement test, the test product is only applied directly to the skin, but it stimulates the skin with a vibrating surface or a vibrating body that vibrates ultrasonically or with low frequency. It is possible to improve the absorption of the test product by the skin by stimulating the skin to which the test product is applied with a facial device with a function, etc., and the skin due to further improvement in moisture retention and increase in blood flow The anti-aging effect can be increased.

It is the graph which showed the result of the moisture retention test. It is the graph which showed the measurement result of the blood flow rate. It is the graph which showed the measurement result of blood vessel age.
