Description

A composition for foot washing {A COMPOSITION FOR WASHING FOOT}

The present invention relates to a composition for washing feet, and more particularly, to a composition for washing feet containing an exfoliating agent and keratin degrading enzyme.

Skin is largely classified into epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is composed of horney layer, clear or lucid layer, granular layer and germinal layer. It is composed of cutaneus n. And blood vessels.

The stratum corneum is composed of about 50% keratin, about 20% fat, about 23% water-soluble substance, about 7% moisture, and other ingredients, and is a part where the cells that reach the outer surface of the skin are hardened and formed. They act as a defense against the release of substances in the body and protect the body from external physical, chemical and biological stimuli. The keratinocytes produced in the basal layer pass through the granule layer and migrate to the stratum corneum. Epidermal cells that reach the stratum corneum lose their nuclei and are converted to dead cells as they are filled with an insoluble protein called keratin. The keratinocytes are connected to each other by a protein called desmozom, and as they rise up the stratum corneum, desmosomes are degraded to weaken the cohesion between keratinocytes and eventually the keratinocytes are separated from the skin.

The time it takes to pass through multiple layers in the production of keratinocytes is called transit time. The travel time from the basal layer to the granular layer is 14 days, and 14 days until it reaches the stratum corneum from the granular layer to reach the stratum corneum. In the production of keratinocytes, desorption takes 28 days.

In recent years, attempts have been made to accelerate the turnover rate of the stratum corneum and to easily detach the aged keratinocytes to improve the whitening effect or skin elasticity.

Korean Patent Publication No. 300197 discloses a cosmetic composition for feet containing glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid having an exfoliating function, and an element having a moisturizing and exfoliating function, and Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-44978 discloses It discloses a preparation for promoting keratin exfoliation containing isoserine (3-amino-2-hydroxypropionic acid) that acts on the hairsome to promote exfoliation, and Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-66979 discloses Bacillus subtilis ( A human detergent composition comprising an enzyme solution obtained from Bacillus subtilis ) is disclosed. And, Korean Patent No. 2000-14115 discloses a rubbing cream composition for exfoliation, the composition is a proteolytic enzyme bromelain (Bromelain) obtained from pineapple stem and papain (protease obtained from papaya tree) papain). According to the above document, they tried to effectively achieve exfoliation by acting on desmosome, an intercellular adhesion material.

However, the above examples did not exhibit a rinse action by sufficient exfoliation, and therefore, a foot cleaner having good performance was required. Accordingly, the present inventors confirmed that the addition of keratin degrading enzyme to the foot washing composition including the exfoliating agent increases the exfoliation effect and the antimicrobial activity also increases, thereby completing the present invention.

Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a new foot cleaning composition with improved effect of the foot cleaning.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a composition for washing feet excellent in antibacterial action.

Another object described above and in the detailed description of the invention can be achieved by the additional supply of keratin degrading enzymes to conventional compositions comprising the exfoliating agent.

The present invention relates to a composition for cleansing feet comprising an exfoliant and keratin degrading enzyme.

As used herein, the term "exfoliant" refers to a substance having an exfoliating function, and includes both a substance serving to exfoliate a keratin or a substance acting on a desmosome to promote detachment of keratinocytes. Examples of the former include alpha hydroxy acid, beta hydroxy acid or urea. Examples of the latter include isoserine (3-amino-2-hydroxypropionic acid), bromelain and papain. Etc. can be mentioned.

As used herein, the term "keratin degrading enzyme" refers to an enzyme that degrades keratin proteins, which are the main components of the stratum corneum, and these can be easily separated from microorganisms. The keratin degrading enzyme decomposes keratin, induces softening of the stratum corneum, and plays a role of promoting keratin removal by an exfoliating agent, as well as Gram-negative bacteria. It exhibits antimicrobial activity against pathogens such as Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. The keratin degrading enzyme for use in the present invention is stable at a temperature of 25 ° C to 40 ° C and a pH of 4.0 to 9.0, an optimum reaction temperature of 30 to 37 ° C, and an optimum pH of 5.0 to 7.0 are suitable. The keratin degrading enzyme can be used in the form of a liquid state, a concentrated liquid concentrate in a liquid state, or a dry preparation. The stratum corneum of the sole lacks sebaceous glands present in the sweat glands, and fatty acids are not secreted and do not have a bactericidal action. Therefore, keratin degrading enzyme excellent in antimicrobial activity can solve this problem. Preferable amount of use is 0.01 to 1.00 weight% with respect to the whole composition, More preferably, it is 0.03 to 0.05 weight%. When used in less than 0.01% by weight, the protein resolution is lowered, when used in excess of 1.00% by weight can cause problems of excessive exfoliation due to overuse.

The composition of the present invention may further include a natural substance having an antimicrobial effect and a function to help metabolism, and examples thereof include humbac, mugwort, green tea, ogapi, ginseng, garlic, and ginkgo biloba. The natural substance not only increases the antibacterial activity of keratinase, but also promotes metabolism and serves to improve skin elasticity. More preferably, it is to use thick foil or wormwood. In the case of mugwort selected as a natural substance, as well as the effect of suppressing the growth of various bacteria, it has an effect on eczema and itching of the skin such as bacterial dysentery, lacquer poison, grass poison, sweat band. In addition, bakbak activates antibacterial and digestive action, and when the leg is swollen, there is an effect to relieve swelling. They are usually used by diluting the solution eluted in a water bath or boiled water, and the preferred amount is 0.01 to 10.0% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, more preferably considering the investment price, color, and the formation of precipitates, more preferably 0.1-0.5 weight%.

The compositions of the present invention may further comprise ceramide thio peptidase which is produced from the species Serratia marcescens (Serratia sp.). The seratopeptidase described above has an anti-inflammatory effect, which helps to effectively treat inflammation in the foot.

Exogenous toxic substances invade into the body and secrete a substance causing inflammation or pain. As a representative defense mechanism, anti-inflammatory enzymes remove the inflammatory substance or necrotic tissue.

As such anti-inflammatory enzymes, seraopeptidase, a proteolytic enzyme produced from Serratia sp., Is most commonly used as an anti-inflammatory agent. The seraopeptidase is a metal having a molecular weight of about 50 to 52 kD and containing Zn ²⁺ . As a metalloprotease, it is known as a protease whose optimum pH is weakly alkaline.

In addition to the above components, the composition of the present invention may further include conventional additives used in the composition for washing. Such examples include surfactants for generating cleansing, antibiotic, wetting, penetration, dispersion and foaming; Moisturizers for retaining moisture; Preservatives having antioxidant capacity and antiseptic ability against bacteria or fungi; Antioxidants that prevent oxidation of the skin; Antifungal agents that remove Candida fungi such as athlete's foot; Perfumery for removing foot odor and fragrance; Pigments that give a visual effect; Viscosity increasing agents to give the convenience and use of ointments and gels; And a moisture carrier for giving a moisturizing effect.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, with respect to the total weight of the composition, 10 to 50% by weight of surfactant, 0.01 to 10% by weight of moisturizer, 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of preservative, 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of exfoliant, 0.01 to 0.5% of antioxidant 0.05% by weight, 5 to 16% by weight of antifungal agent, 0.01 to 5% by weight of perfume, 0.01 to 5% by weight of pigment, 0.1 to 10% by weight of viscosity increasing agent, 0.1 to 5% by weight of water carrier, 0.01 to 1 keratinase Compositions containing 0.01% by weight to 10% by weight of natural substances cause synergism by the mixed composition, resulting in exfoliation, maintaining cleanliness and promoting metabolism, and have excellent exfoliation and antibacterial activity. It helped maintain the elasticity of the.

The foot cleaning composition of the present invention may add salt or sun salt to reinforce the function of athlete's foot prevention.

The foot cleaning composition of the present invention is not particularly limited in its formulation, and may be prepared, for example, in the form of a shampoo, cream, massage cream, lotion, gel, ointment or spray.

As shown in Figure 1 , the foot cleaning mixed composition of the present invention shows a better protein resolution than the conventional foot wash, and by adding keratin degrading enzyme, better protein resolution than the uncontrolled control ( Fig. 2 ) was confirmed.

As shown in the results of FIGS . 3 to 7, the mixed composition for washing feet, which further contains keratin degrading enzymes or natural substances derived from microorganisms, is a Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis , Staphylococcus aureus. ( Staphylococcus aureus ), or enterococcus lactis ( Exococcus lactis ), showed a superior antimicrobial effect than the control streptomycin, a slightly lower or equivalent antimicrobial effect to the other control tetracycline.
