[Industrial applications]
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to cosmetics containing an extract of a natural component such as an aroma component or a pigment component obtained by extracting from a perfume plant.
[0002]
Problems to be solved by the prior art and the invention
Extracts from cotyledons, stems, petals and the like of perfume plants have been used as extracts of natural ingredients to be incorporated into cosmetics such as lotions. Here, the fragrance plant refers to a plant that contains a large amount of components used exclusively for flavoring or coloring of foods, cosmetics, etc., and from which natural fragrances and natural coloring agents are collected industrially.
[0003]
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-289010 discloses cosmetics containing an extract of a Cucurbitaceae plant, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-53717 discloses a toothpaste and a mouthwash containing an extract of a plant such as ju, age and black tea. Fees have been proposed for each.
[0004]
In order to extract natural components, mainly fragrance components and pigment components from perfume plants, the following four methods have been conventionally performed.
[0005]
(1) Distillation method This is a method of extracting a natural component by steam distillation of a plant, and is the most common method. It is mainly used for extracting natural flavors such as mint.
(2) Extraction method This is a method of immersing a plant in an extraction solvent such as water or alcohol to extract the components by solvent. It is used when a nonvolatile component or a component is decomposed by a distillation method. This method is mainly used for removing the dye component.
(3) Absorption method This is a method in which an oil-soluble fragrance component in a plant is absorbed and dissolved in oil to be taken out. The distillation method is used when components are decomposed.
(4) Squeezing method A method of mechanically squeezing the bark or pericarp of a plant to extract components.
[0006]
In particular, a distillation method is generally used as a method for extracting a natural component (especially, an aroma component) from petals of a fragrance plant.
[0007]
However, this distillation method has disadvantages such as low yield, denaturation of components by heating, and inability to extract dye components. In addition, the absorption method has the drawback that the operation of re-extraction from the absorber is complicated and the yield is poor, and the compression method requires removal of contaminants and re-extraction of aroma components and pigment components from the compressed juice. There is a disadvantage that it is.
[0008]
Although the extraction method does not have the drawbacks described above, the conventional extraction method using distilled water (purified water) as an extraction solvent makes it possible to extract natural components from perfumery plants in good yield and without destruction. Have difficulty. Even if natural ingredients destroyed during such extraction are blended into cosmetics, it is difficult to obtain cosmetics that retain the original color and scent that the natural ingredients express.
[0009]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic product in which the original color and scent of the blended natural components are retained.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Cosmetics according to the present invention for achieving the above object, Lamiaceae, Rosaceae, Oleaceae, Fennelaceae, Violaceae, Iridaceae, Convolvulaceae, Asteraceae, Asteraceae, Cucurbitaceae, Mulberry family, Mallow family, Aroma component and pigment component obtained by extracting electrolytic acid water having a pH of 2.0 to 5.0 as an extraction solvent from each of the perfume plants of the buttercup family, Buddleiaceae, Papilionidae, Papilionidae, Watermelonaceae, or Saxifragaceae. An extract of a natural component such as a natural ingredient is blended.
[0011]
The extraction solvent used for the extraction of natural components has a pH of 2.0 to 5.0 obtained on the anode side by subjecting ordinary water such as tap water, mineral water, well water, natural spring water to electrolysis with a diaphragm. Electrolyzed acidic water. By using such electrolytic acidic water, it is possible to extract natural components contained in a fragrant plant such as rose without destroying it, as compared with the case of using distilled water (purified water).
[0012]
It is preferable to use an electrolyzed acidic water having a pH of 2.0 to 3.0 in order to increase the extraction efficiency. Electrolytic acidic water and the extract obtained using electrolytic acidic water are in the acidic region, and therefore have antibacterial and antiseptic effects themselves. For this reason, there is no problem such as spoilage alteration during extraction or storage, which is preferable.
[0013]
The cosmetics according to the present invention include Lamiaceae (lavender, rosemary, etc.), Rosaceae (roses, hamanas, blackberry, etc.), Moleaceae (Kinu-mokusei, etc.), Fenidae (Kekyo, etc.), and Violaceae (Numeis violet, Violet, etc., Iridaceae (Iris, Saffron, etc.), Convolvulaceae (Asagao, etc.), Asteraceae (Calendula, Safflower, Sunflower, Chamomile, etc.), Cyperaceae (Europea, etc.), Cucurbitaceae, etc., etc., Mulberry ( Hops), Malvaceae (Mallow), Ranunculaceae (Fukujusou, etc.), Buddleia family (Jasmine, etc.), Nadesicoceae (Carnation, etc.), Lilium spp. (Lemon verbena, etc.), Watermelonaceae (Smeltwood, etc.) or Saxifragaceae ( Hydrangea, etc.) Component is formulated. Among these fragrance plants, plants of the family Rosaceae, Lamiaceae, and Papilionidae are particularly suitable, and among them, the Rosaceae plant is most suitable.
[0014]
The natural component extract may be incorporated into cosmetics by using the extract containing the natural component in cosmetics as it is, or may be incorporated in a concentrated form as needed.
[0015]
[Action]
When electrolytic acidic water having a pH of 2.0 to 5.0 is used as the extraction solvent, natural components are extracted from perfume plants in good yield without being destroyed. For this reason, in the cosmetics according to the present invention in which the natural component extract thus obtained is blended, the natural color and fragrance are exhibited since the natural component is not destroyed.
[0016]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following Examples at all, and can be implemented by appropriately changing the scope without changing the gist thereof. It is.
[0017]
(Reference example)
Electrolysis obtained by electrolyzing 100 g of petals of roses (cultivar: rotherose, petal color: red), which are cultivated for cut flowers and cannot normally collect fragrance, under the following conditions with tap water for drinking It was immersed in 1200 ml of acidic water (pH = 2.33) at room temperature for 24 hours. Further, for comparison, 100 g of the same rose petal was immersed in 1200 ml of purified water at room temperature for 24 hours.
[0018]
<Electrolysis conditions>
Raw water: tap water (pH = 6.50)
Electrode of electrolytic cell: Titanium / platinum plating Electrode voltage: 62V
Electrolytic acid water outflow rate: 0.1 liter / min
Next, the petals of the rose were removed, and sterile filtration was performed with a 0.22 micron Millipore filter to obtain an extract. Table 1 shows the properties of the obtained extract and the yield of the concentrate of the extract.
[0020]
[Table 1]

[0021]
As shown in Table 1, the extract obtained by using electrolytic acidic water as the extraction solvent had a bright pink rose flower scent. However, distilled water was used as the extraction solvent. The obtained extract had poor color and odor, and the yield of the extract concentrate was much lower than that in the case of using electrolytic acidic water.
[0022]
(Example)
Various cosmetics shown in the following (1) to (3) were produced using the extract of rose petals by the electrolytic acidic water obtained in the reference example.
[0023]
(1) Lotion A lotion was prepared by mixing the following components (A) and (B). % Indicating the blending ratio is% by weight with respect to the total amount of the lotion (the below-mentioned% has the same meaning).

[0024]
