DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition containing bamboo salt, which is excellent in treating and preventing skin diseases, promoting skin beauty, promoting blood circulation, washing and massage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Salts have been widely used for a long time to lower the freezing point of water-in-oil emulsion type cosmetic compositions and to improve the storage stability at low temperatures. But recently, not only such stability improvement but also moisturizing effect,
It has been reported that it is also useful for the effect of removing skin contamination, the effect of depriving hyperkeratotic epidermis, and the antibacterial effect, and research on various cosmetic ingredients has been actively conducted. In particular, salt has been reported to be superior to urea, which has hitherto been spotlighted as a natural moisturizing factor for skin, in terms of skin moisturization and skin stability (see: Norda Briefs No. 462. Nov. Dec., 1974).
), Creams containing salt for moisturizing dry skin have been proposed and attracted attention.

[0003] Generally, cosmetics exhibit skin cosmetic effects such as skin moisturizing and skin softening by being applied to the skin, and particularly provide a massage effect when used in dosage forms such as creams or scrubs. become. As a result, cosmetics are often used for the purpose of promoting blood circulation, preventing skin aging, and at the same time removing skin wastes. It has been proposed (see: JP-A-63-238008 and 58-192814).
issue).

[0004] However, conventional cosmetics using scrubbing agents are used as cleansing or massage cosmetics in terms of bactericidal effect against resident bacteria harmful to skin, skin cosmetic effect, blood circulation promoting effect, washing effect and massage effect. The problem is that the effect of the purified salt is not sufficient, especially in the case of cosmetics using purified salt as a scrubbing agent, the cleansing or massage effect cannot be sufficiently exhibited due to the rapid dissolution of the purified salt during cleansing or massage. was there.

On the other hand, inorganic salts or inorganic acids such as sodium chloride and calcium chloride which have been conventionally used as scrub bases are salts existing in the living body, which maintain osmotic pressure of body fluids, regulate tissue metabolism, and regulate biological rhythms. In particular, sodium chloride is known to stimulate skin waste removal by high osmotic pressure, reduce edema and stimulate active blood circulation. Therefore, cosmetics containing various inorganic salts according to the respective purposes and properties are known.

That is, cosmetic lotions containing inorganic salts as solubilizing stabilizers for other components or cosmetics containing moisturizing components (see JP-A Nos. 62-20909 and 62-209010); sodium chloride and sulfuric acid Cosmetic powder containing calcium to activate cells to remove dead skin cells and improve skin roughness (see JP-A-6-305937); inhibition of bacterial growth and disinfection by sodium chloride, hypertonic salt Cosmetic agents that exhibit pharmacological effects such as blood circulation promotion and activation of skin metabolism due to skin irritation of water solution, and are expected to provide skin nutritional supplementation and protection by oils and fats (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-16409). .

However, although sodium chloride has been widely known for a long time as having pharmacological effects such as edema reduction, promotion of blood circulation and metabolism, inhibition of bacterial growth, and bactericidal action, sodium chloride is actually used for such purpose. The effect is very insignificant when used in sodium chloride.Therefore, sodium chloride is often used as a scrubbing base and at the same time as a solubilizing stabilizer for other components or a moisturizing component. Was.

[0008]

Here, the present inventors have improved the massage effect of the existing sodium chloride, inorganic salts or inorganic acids scrubbing agent, and particularly prevented the phenomenon of clumping due to the hygroscopicity of salt. Accordingly, intensive studies have been made to solve the problems of the conventional cosmetics as mentioned above. As a result, they discovered that bamboo salt maintained its solubility more sustainably than sodium chloride (ie, salt) which had been used, and incorporated such bamboo salt as an active ingredient of a cosmetic composition. And the cosmetics have skin disease treatment and prevention effects, skin beauty effects, blood circulation promoting effects,
The present inventors have confirmed that the present invention exhibits excellent enhancement and improvement effects in terms of the cleaning effect and the massage effect, and have completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention is as follows. A cosmetic composition comprising a bamboo salt.

The cosmetic composition according to the above, characterized in that the dosage form is in the form of a powder, a gel or a paste.

[0016]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The bamboo salt used in the present invention is produced through a firing step using bamboo and salt,
This is achieved by repeatedly heating the bamboo, which has the function of generating new cells, that is, the bamboo that has the function of generating new cells, and the salt that has the function of preventing disinfection and decay, several times in a furnace and performing high heat treatment.
It removes the toxins they possess and maximizes their efficacy.

In the production of bamboo salt, solar salt is usually used as a salt. In addition, salt, rock salt, reagent grade sodium chloride or potassium chloride can be used, and bamboo or bamboo is used as bamboo. There is no need to limit the type of bamboo.

As the bamboo salt which is an active ingredient of the cosmetic according to the present invention, a commercially available bamboo salt, that is, bamboo and salt are repeatedly subjected to high heat treatment (1000 ° C. or more) in a furnace to remove toxins, thereby improving the efficacy of the drug. It is possible to use a maximally enhanced one, and also to use one manufactured by the following method.

[0019] Wang bamboo (appropriate for the third grader) who grew up exposed to the sea breeze is opened on one side and cut in order to block the other.
Fill the bamboo cylinder with the sun salt, put the non-greasy loess in the mountains through a fine sieve nine times, dry it in shade, add water, and stiffen it.
After inserting about 1 cm of red pine needles, pong, and bamboo leaves, seal with ocher kneaded to about 2 cm at the end. A lot of bamboos made in this way are put in a pottery kiln made of ocher, pine is laid down, rosin is sprinkled, and then fire is applied (furnace temperature 1000 ° C or higher). Take it out after about 24 hours (at this time, bamboo, red pine needles,
Only the salt column that absorbed the fat of the pong and loess remains), and after crushing the salt column finely, repeat the process of adding salt to a new bamboo tube and burning with the same method as the first, eight times. In the ninth time, if a special stainless steel furnace is used to generate high heat (over 1500 ° C) and lit with pine resin alone and melted, it will flow like molten iron in a blast furnace, but the fire will be extinguished. And this liquid becomes hard and changes like a stone mass. This lump is bamboo salt, which is appropriately ground and used. The efficacy of bamboo salt produced through such a special method is known as detoxification, blood purification, anti-inflammatory, cell regeneration, constitutional improvement, antibacterial, anticancer, etc. It is described in Kim Shin Hung's Shinyaku (1986) Synthetic New Medicine and Shinkaku Yakuhin (1989) as an effective medicine for symptoms.

On the other hand, if we look at the efficacy of bamboo and salt used in the production of bamboo salt, bamboo contains components such as cyanine, paeonin, cyanidin, peonidine, and galactose, and causes toothache, gum bleeding, cold symptoms, It has excellent effects on tumors and cell neogenesis.
It is described in the primary color Korean medicinal plant picture book, etc., and salt shows disinfection and bactericidal effect by high osmotic action, eliminates gum bleeding, edema, inflammation, bad breath, and is effective for wind teeth (toothache sometimes caused by neuropathy) These are described in the Toho Hokan, Honzo Tsuname, Shinnohon Honzo, etc.

The cosmetic composition of the present invention is preferably used in the form of a powder, gel or paste. Cosmetics according to the present invention in such a dosage form are for facial massage,
It can be used for face cleansing, whole body massage or whole body cleansing. When the cosmetic composition is formulated into a powder form, it can be manufactured by a general method of manufacturing a powder formulation in which a bamboo salt as an active ingredient is uniformly mixed with a usual cosmetic ingredient in a mixer, When the dosage form is formed into a gel or paste, it can be produced by a general method of producing a gel or paste dosage form in which bamboo salt is blended with a surfactant and oil.

In the cosmetic composition according to the present invention, when the dosage form is powder, the content of bamboo salt is preferably 1.0 to 99.0% by weight based on the whole composition, and the dosage form is gel or In the case of a paste, the content of bamboo salt is preferably 1.0 to 70.0% by weight based on the whole composition. If the bamboo salt is contained in less than 1.0% by weight, the effect is weak. In particular, if the mixture exceeds 70.0% by weight in a gel or paste formulation, the feeling of use is not good.

The cosmetic composition of the present invention further contains, in addition to bamboo salt as an active ingredient, components such as inorganic salts, pigments, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, and fragrances commonly used in cosmetic compositions. be able to. Among them, as the inorganic salts, one or more selected from solar salts, dead sea salts, purified salts, rock salts, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium silicate can be used.
