[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found a component having an excellent hair-growth / hair-growth effect on the flesh of longan, which is one of the plants of the family Sapulaceae. Therefore, the present invention has been completed based on this.

That is, the present invention is characterized in that 0.001 to 10% by weight of an extract obtained by extracting water from a longan flesh with water and / or a water-soluble organic solvent is blended in a base. It concerns hair and hair restoration materials.

The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0007] The longan to be applied to the present invention in the plant of Sapindaceae scientific name Euphoria Longana (Eupholia longan
It is called a ) and is widely cultivated as a subtropical fruit tree.
The fruit of this plant is known as a highly nutritious food and is used as a tonic or sedative, but there are no examples of external application of this plant, and no examples of verifying hair growth and hair growth effects were found. It was first discovered by the inventors.

Next, regarding the method for producing an extract having a hair growth and hair growth promoting effect from longan, the pulp of longan (hereinafter referred to as longan meat) is treated with water and / or a water-soluble organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, 50% by weight of primary alcohol such as propanol or butanol, polyhydric alcohol such as 1,3-butylene glycol or propylene glycol, or organic solvent of acetone, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane alone or the primary alcohol, polyhydric alcohol or acetone, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane. % Or more of the water-containing organic solvent, or a mixed solvent thereof, to perform cold immersion or digestion extraction.

Specifically, 0.5 to 5 liters of a solvent is used per 100 g of longan meat, and the temperature is from room temperature to the boiling point of the extraction solvent at room temperature for 7 to 10 days, and at heating for 4 to 8 hours. ~
Extract twice. The extracts are combined, filtered by suction, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent to obtain a viscous or dry Longan meat extract. Below, the production example of a representative longan meat extract is shown.

Production Example 1 100 g of longan meat was extracted by immersion in 1 liter of 70% ethanol at room temperature for 10 days, the residue was filtered off with a filter paper, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to obtain an extract. (Yield 10
%)

Production Example 2 100 g of longan meat was immersed in 1 liter of ethanol, transferred to a Soxhlet extractor, and extracted by heating for 8 hours. After cooling, the residue was filtered off with filter paper, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to obtain an extract. (Yield 46%)

Production Example 3 100 g of longan meat was immersed in 1 liter of acetone, transferred to a Soxhlet extractor, and extracted by heating for 8 hours. After cooling, the residue was filtered off with filter paper, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to obtain an extract. (Yield 40%)

Production Example 4 100 g of longan meat was immersed in 1 liter of butanol, transferred to a Soxhlet extractor and subjected to warm extraction for 8 hours. After cooling, the residue was filtered off with filter paper, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to obtain an extract. (Yield 38%)

Production Example 5 Propylene glycol: distilled water = 1:
It is immersed in 1 liter of the extraction solvent of No. 1, transferred to a Soxhlet extractor, and subjected to warm extraction for 8 hours. After cooling, the residue is filtered off with filter paper, the filtrate is evaporated to dryness,
An extract was obtained. (Yield 42%)

The extract obtained as described above is blended in the base as it is or after being dissolved, dispersed and diluted with an appropriate solvent or the like. At this time, the amount of the extract to be mixed (dry matter conversion) is selected in the range of 0.001 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.05 to 5% by weight, based on the base. If the blending amount is less than 0.001% by weight, the hair-growing effect is not sufficiently exhibited,
Further, even if the amount exceeds 10% by weight, the effect is not enhanced and the stability as a hair-growth / hair-growth agent cannot be sufficiently ensured.

Other raw material components used in the hair growth / hair growth material of the present invention include hydrocarbons, waxes, oils and fats, esters, higher fatty acids, and higher grades which are usually applied to hair growth / hair growth materials. Alcohols, surfactants, fragrances, dyes, preservatives, antioxidants, ultraviolet protective agents, alcohols, pH adjusters, and medicinal ingredients suitable for the purpose of the present invention are appropriately selected and prepared. Further, it can be used in combination with a known hair growth / hair growth ingredient.

Next, there is no particular restriction on the dosage form of the hair-growth / hair-growth material of the present invention. For example, hair tonic, shampoo,
Various dosage forms such as rinses, pomades, hair lotions, hair creams and hair treatments can be mentioned.

Here, the results of evaluation of the effect of the longan meat extract according to the present invention on hair growth in mice will be shown.

(Sample) A 70% aqueous ethanol dispersion containing 5% of the ethanol extract from longan meat according to the present invention and Vitamin E, which has been known as a comparative product, which has been conventionally known as a substance having a hair-growth / hair-growth effect. 70% ethanol aqueous dispersion containing 1% and solvent as control 7
A 0% ethanol aqueous solution was used.

(Test method) Using 9-week-old C3H mice, one group has 10 mice, and 4 groups are prepared.
After removing 0.04 g of each sample on the site where hair was removed to a width of 0 × 2.0 cm on the next day after hair removal, on the 16th day, the density of hair growth of the site was measured as a degree of black increase using a color difference meter. I caught it. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0021]

[Table 1]

As is clear from the results of Table 1, it can be seen that in the longan meat extract according to the present invention, the L value is decreased and the black color is increased. On the other hand, the vitamin E of the comparative product showed almost no decrease in L value. It is presumed that this is because the longan meat extract according to the present invention stimulates hair roots, makes blood circulation around hair follicles more active, and activates metabolism.
