Description

Composition for Whitening Containing Jasmine Extract as an Active Ingredient {{Composition for Whitening Containing Extract of Jasminum grandiflorum}

The present invention relates to a whitening composition containing jasmine extract as an active ingredient, and more particularly, to a cosmetic composition containing jasmine extract and a dermatologically acceptable carrier, and a jasmine extract and a food acceptable carrier. It relates to a food composition.

Skin is a very important tissue that protects the human body while directly contacting the external environment and has biochemical and physical functions. The skin is divided into three types: the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis. Melanin is a pigment present in the epidermal layer of the skin. It is made from melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis and migrates to epidermal cells called keratinocytes. There are no enzymes in the body that break down melanin, but they are removed by falling off the skin as keratinocytes fall off the epidermis.

In the melanin synthesis process, melanocyte vesicles in melanocytes are first converted into tyrosine through dopa (DOPA) by an enzyme called tyrosinase and then into dopaquinone (DOPAquinone). Dopachrome produces melanin, a blackish brown copolymer. The melanin thus produced is transferred to keratinocytes through the melanosomes, where it is lost to the surface of the skin along with the keratinization process for about 28 days.

Melanin absorbs the light energy of sunlight UV to protect skin organs under the dermis from UV damage, and it protects the skin from external harmful factors such as trapping harmful oxygen and free radicals generated in skin skin. Play a role. In addition, the skin color of a person is determined according to the amount of melanin in the skin cells, and those with a lot of melanin pigment have brown or black skin, while those with a small amount of melanin have white skin.

When abnormally low melanin is produced, skin lesions such as vitiligo are caused, and conversely, if melanin accumulates due to excessive synthesis or keratinization due to excessive daylight, hormonal changes, inflammation, and drugs, damage to the skin can occur. In addition to the skin pigments are deposited to form blemishes, freckles, and even from these lesions can cause skin cancer. Therefore, in order to prevent such pigmentation phenomenon, it is necessary to inhibit a part of melanogenesis process to reduce melanin production.

Today, Asian women prefer white and clean skin and make it an important standard of beauty. Therefore, the development of whitening agent for treatment of abnormal skin pigmentation and satisfying beauty needs is being actively developed. At present, in the development of a whitening agent for skin beauty, a method of reducing the generated melanin pigment by decolorization and a method of inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme that forms melanin pigment, are known. However, whitening agents using tocopherols and vitamins used to reduce the melanin pigment are known to have a slight decolorizing effect of the melanin pigment. Therefore, many studies have been conducted on inhibitors that inhibit the production of melanin pigment.

In the conventional cosmetic field, as a whitening component, for example, substances that inhibit tyrosinase enzyme activity such as kojic acid, arbutin, hydroquinone, vitamin-C (L-Ascorbic acid) and Their derivatives and various plant extracts have been used.

However, the whitening components are deteriorated due to poor stability in the prescription system, or the use thereof is limited due to the occurrence of off-flavor, efficacy at the biological level, unclear effect and safety problems. Kojic acid inhibits enzymatic activity by adsorbing copper ions present in the active site of tyrosinase, but has been discontinued as a raw material for cosmetics because of its instability, skin side effects and recent animal experiments. Vitamin-C and its derivatives are difficult to use as raw materials for cosmetics due to their oxidative instability. Hydroquinone has excellent whitening effect on skin, but it causes allergies, toxicity to melanin producing cells, permanent depigmentation to skin, etc. It is highly irritating to skin, and is recently prescribed as a carcinogenic substance, so its use is banned and only a limited concentration is allowed in each country. In addition, arbutin is a derivative in which glucopyranoside is combined with hydroquinone, and has little side effects when using hydroquinone and inhibits the synthesis of melanin pigments without toxicity to humans, thereby increasing melanin pigmentation. Applicability has been suggested as a therapeutic agent for skin diseases, but it has a disadvantage of being partially degraded by skin enzymes.

In addition to these whitening substances, research has been conducted to find whitening active ingredients in natural products, especially plants. Among them, white skin (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-44375, Small 64-26507, Small 64-83009, Pyeong 1-25687 No. 5-139950, Korean Patent Publication Nos. 92-002109, 97-021273, Licorice (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-214721, No. 60-214728, No. 63-23809, No. 64- 63506, Hei 1-149706, and Korean Patent Nos. 92-002109, 97-025601), Peony (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-246109 and Korean Laid-Open Patent No. 92-002111), Cinnamon Patent Nos. 63-30403, Hep. 5-139954), Gosam (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-26507 and Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 92-002110), Brown root (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Nos. 60-214727, Small 64-16709 ), Angelica (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-92211, Hei 4-26610), Mokdanpi (Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 60-214721, No. 61-50915, No. 61-246109), Banha (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication) Pyeong 2-207028, Korea A number of plant extracts and herbal extracts, such as Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 96-033442) and Aloe (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 52-44375, Hei 2-207030, Hei 5-139950), act on tyrosinase to inhibit melanin production. Although it has been found that, they also have a lot of problems in the use of more than the effective concentration in cosmetics or pharmaceuticals in terms of safety, discoloration, etc., and still does not show an excellent effect.
