Description

A cosmetic composition for skin whitening containing chrysanthemum flower extract as an active ingredient {A COMPOSITION FOR WHITENING THE SKIN}

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition for skin whitening, and more particularly, by using chrysanthemum flower extract as an active ingredient and further mixing ginseng root extract, mulberry leaf extract, reishi mushroom extract and lotus extract to prevent photoaging, not only whitening function but also It relates to a cosmetic composition for skin whitening with improved anti-atopic and antioxidant functions.

Cosmetics refer to "goods used on the human body to clean and beautify the human body to add attractiveness, to brighten the appearance, or to maintain or promote the health of the skin and hair", and refers to those with a slight effect on the human body.

As the standard of living of modern people improves and the social status of women increases, women's interest in beauty is increasing. In the past, research on functional cosmetics is being actively conducted beyond the function of simply protecting the skin. There is a demand for the development of high-functional cosmetics that prioritize safety, and the preference for whitening cosmetics among functional cosmetics is increasing.

Functional cosmetics are products that have intermediate characteristics between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. While general cosmetics emphasize stability, functional cosmetics emphasize efficacy and effectiveness. Functional cosmetics can be divided into whitening products, wrinkle improvement products, and products that burn the skin finely or protect it from UV rays.

Whitening cosmetic refers to a cosmetic with the function of helping to whiten the skin by preventing the blackening of the skin due to the excessive deposition of melanin in the skin, or by lightening the color of the existing deposited melanin to suppress the generation of freckles or freckles. .

Blackening of the skin is caused by the reaction of skin cells to internal and external factors, and a representative factor is due to exposure of the skin to ultraviolet rays. That is, when the skin is exposed to UV rays, tyrosinase is activated, which acts on tyrosine, a kind of amino acid present in the skin tissue, to generate dopa, and through the oxidation process to generate dopaquinone again, melanocytes, which are pigment cells of the skin. ), a polymer called melanin is synthesized in melanosomes.

This melanin is transferred to keratinocytes, which are keratinocytes of the skin, and reaches the skin surface by the keratinization process to protect the skin from UV rays. Therefore, melanin is an essential UV protection agent for our human body and also plays a role as an effective free radical scavenger to remove various radicals that modify biocomponents such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

However, when melanin is locally synthesized excessively or the physiological function of the skin is deteriorated due to skin lesions and aging, melanin is deposited on the skin surface, causing melasma, freckles and various pigmentation. As the cause and mechanism of skin blackening have been elucidated, substances having an inhibitory effect on the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in the skin blackening process, are added to cosmetics, or melanin production is reduced by inhibiting some reactions in the melanin production process. This method is generally used in whitening cosmetics.

Representative substances used for this purpose include ascorbic acid, kojic acid, hydroquinone, and plant extracts such as sagebrush extract and licorice extract. However, in the case of kojic acid, while it has an excellent tyrosinase activity inhibitory action, it has problems in stability such as discoloration and a decrease in potency due to changes over time when formulated in cosmetics, and there is a limitation in use due to large skin irritation.

Ascorbic acid has a low inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity and is not suitable as a melanogenesis inhibitor due to its low molecular stability. In addition, most plant extracts exhibit a relatively high inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity only at a high concentration, and have problems such as almost no inhibitory effect at a low concentration. In particular, the biggest problem of the existing inhibitors of melanogenesis is that the whitening effect is weak during clinical trials on actual human skin.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to directly prevent photoaging by using chrysanthemum flower extract as an active ingredient and further mixing ginseng root extract, mulberry leaf extract, reishi mushroom extract and lotus extract to prevent photoaging as well as whitening function, anti-atopic function and antioxidant To provide a cosmetic composition for skin whitening with improved function.

The cosmetic composition for skin whitening according to the present invention for solving the above-described technical problem includes an extract of Chrysanthemum flower as an active ingredient.

And it is preferable that the cosmetic composition for skin whitening according to the present invention further comprises a reishi mushroom extract.

In addition, the cosmetic composition for skin whitening according to the present invention preferably further comprises any one or a mixture of two or more selected from the group consisting of a ginseng root extract, a mulberry leaf extract, or a lotus extract.

In addition, the cosmetic composition for skin whitening according to the present invention may further include a mixture of reishi mushroom extract, ginseng root extract, mulberry leaf extract and lotus extract.

At this time, it is preferable that the cosmetic composition for skin whitening is mixed in a ratio of 60% by volume of the chrysanthemum flower extract and 40% by volume of the mixture.

And in the present invention, the mixture, reishi mushroom extract, ginseng root extract, mulberry leaf extract and lotus extract is preferably mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1: 1: 1.

According to the cosmetic composition for skin whitening of the present invention, it not only exhibits excellent whitening function, but also directly prevents photoaging by using chrysanthemum flower extract as an active ingredient and further mixing ginseng root extract, mulberry leaf extract, reishi mushroom extract and lotus extract, It has the advantage of simultaneously improving anti-atopic function and antioxidant function.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

The cosmetic composition for skin whitening according to the present embodiment has Chrysanthemum flower extract as an active ingredient.

In general, in plants, flowers give priority to species preservation. However, these flowers contain various pigment components such as anthocyanins, carotenoids and flavonoids for each color, and these components exhibit various functions as much as their types.

Anthocyanin, which is typically contained in the flowers of plants, is called hwajeung (花靑素) and refers to Anthocyan and its aglycon, anthocyanidin. Basically, all of them exist as glycosides in the cell and show red, blue, and purple colors. When hydrolyzed with acid, it is a water-soluble pigment that is divided into a red part (Anthocyanidin) and a sugar part. It promotes cell aging and causes various adult diseases. Antioxidant action to remove oxygen, anti-mutagenic action to suppress the action of carcinogens, suppression action of changing factors that cause cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis and myocardial infarction, action to remove cholesterol in the body, and improvement of liver function by activating liver function Various effects such as prevention and treatment of fatty liver, cirrhosis and alcoholic liver disease, improvement of brain metabolic function and prevention of dementia by promoting blood circulation are being revealed.

In addition, the flavonoid is called Vit P or Vit C2 (Vit C synergist) and is a yellow plant pigment. Flavonoid is a plant pigment with flavone as its basic structure, meaning Anthoxanthin. It is a water-soluble pigment that is stable in acid and exhibits many effects such as antibacterial, anticancer, antiviral, antiallergic, and antiallergic action.

In addition, carotenoids, which are insoluble pigments of yellow, orange, and pink series, are largely divided into carotenes (which do not contain oxygen in the molecule) and Xanthopylls (contains oxygen), with the former being β -Carotene, Lycopene, and the latter include Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Violaxanthin (tricolor violet). These carotenoid pigments also have various functions such as antioxidant action, immune enhancement action, anticancer action, vascular disease improvement action, and anti-aging action.

In addition, although relatively few in flowers, representative plant pigments such as Chlorophyll, Betacyanin (nitrogen-containing anthocyanin), Cytochrome (pigment protein), Quinone-based and Curmarin-based pigments are present in various plant flowers.

Even in the efficacy of the flowers of such general plants, the chrysanthemum flower is used in this embodiment because the skin mimac and anti-atopic efficacy through the prevention of photoaging of the chrysanthemum flower is superior to that of other plants.
