[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The effect of improving skin roughness is one of the basic effects that are most often required for skin external preparations. Therefore, attempts to impart a skin roughness improving effect to an external preparation for skin have been limited to a limited number of times, regardless of the form or dosage form of the external preparation, regardless of whether direct or indirect effects are intended. Has been done without. As typical compounding ingredients for imparting the currently used skin roughness improving effect to external preparations for skin, for example, amino acids, polysaccharides, lipids, various extracted extracts and the like are used based on their anti-inflammatory effects and moisturizing effects. ing.

[0003]

However, the "roughness" can be said to be in various forms, and only the above-mentioned components used at present have sufficient effects of improving various forms of roughness. There are aspects that cannot be said. Therefore, a problem to be solved by the present invention is to find a more excellent skin roughness improving component and to provide a new generation of skin roughness improving means capable of coping with more various skin roughening symptoms.

[0004]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION In view of this problem, the present inventor has searched for a drug that extremely effectively improves proliferative skin thickening, erythema, dryness, and rough skin accompanied by desquamation. as a result,
It has been found that an extract of the root of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) has this excellent skin roughness improving effect, and the present invention has been completed.

That is, the present inventor provides in the present application a skin external preparation containing a root extract of chicory (Cichorium intybus L.), for example, a skin external preparation for improving rough skin.

[0006] There has been no report on the effect of the extract of chicory root for improving the rough skin. Examples of blending an extract of chicory root with an external preparation for skin include a skin blended with an extract of chicory flowers (JP-A-6-219958) and leaves (JP-A-8-12521) as a whitening component. Only topical preparations have been reported.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. Chicory (chicor) used in the present invention
y: Cichorium intybus L.) belongs to the genus Cichorium in the Compositae family and is a perennial plant widely distributed in Europe, North Africa, West Asia, China and the like, and its leaves (young leaves) are used for food.
