The present invention relates to a composition for external application for skin using lava sea water minerals or fermented products thereof.

Lava seawater, which is distributed only in the eastern part of Jeju Island (Gucheong-eup, Seongsan-eup, and Seokseon-myeon), is clean and has a constant water temperature throughout the year and contains a large amount of various minerals not found in ordinary saltwater or seawater. , A Study on the Hydrological Geology in the Eastern Part of Jeju Island (Ⅱ), 2003, Kyungwon University, "A Study on the Underground Geological Structure and Groundwater Variation and Water Quality in the Eastern Part of Jeju Island, , Vol. 3, pp. 15-43 "," Meiwon et al., Underground Distribution of Seogwipo Formation in Jeju Island and Its Relation to Groundwater, 1991, Geology Journal, Vol. 27, No. 5, The production of lava seawater from the existing data, including, can be summarized as follows. In other words, seawater infiltrated into the underground lava flows from the outer ocean and huge seawater mass was formed on the Seoguipo (or Seifuri) layer, which is an impervious sedimentary layer that is difficult to move water. This is supported by the fact that lava seawater is not found in the western part of Cheju island and northern part of Cheju island where the Seoguipo layer is thin and only Seogwipo is found only in eastern part of Cheju island.

<Experimental Example 2-3> Collagen biosynthesis experiment ( Collagen synthesis assay )

<1> Cell culture

Fibroblasts (CCD-986SK, human fibroblasts) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC , Rockville, USA). FBS (fetal bovine serum, Hyclone) and 1% Antibiotic-Antimycotic Gibco) supplemented with DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium.Hyclone) at 37 ° C and 5% CO ₂ .

&Lt; 2 > Evaluation of cell survival rate

Human fibroblasts are divided into 96 wells at a concentration of 2 × 10 ⁴ cells / well and cultured for 24 hours under cell culture conditions. The medium was discarded and the sample of the example was diluted with serum-free medium, treated at a concentration of 200 μg / mL, and cultured for 24 hours. MTT solution (50 μl of 2 mg / ml 3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5 diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide solution) is added to each well and incubated for 4 hours. After the culture medium was removed, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solution was added, and the mixture was shaken for 10 minutes. Absorbance was measured at 540 nm using an ELISA reader.

The results are shown in Table 6 below as a percentage of the sample-untreated group (negative control group).

Cell survival rate sample Cell viability (%) Negative control group 100% The mineral composition of Example 1 109% The mineral fermentation product of <Example 2-1> 101% The mineral fermentation product of <Example 2-2> 99%

The results of the above Table 6 show that neither the mineral composition of the examples nor the fermented product showed any cytotoxicity.

<2> Effect of Type I collagen synthesis promotion

Human fibroblasts were divided into 96 wells at a concentration of 2 × 10 ⁴ cells / well and cultured for 24 hours. The medium was discarded and the sample of the example was diluted with serum-free medium and incubated at a concentration of 200 / / mL for 24 hours. The amount of collagen synthesis in the cell culture medium was measured using procollagen type I peptide EIA kit (Takara Biomedical Co.). 100 μl of anticody-POD conjugate solution was added to each well, and 20 μl of sample and standard were added and incubated at 37 ° C. for 3 hours. After the reaction was completed, the culture medium was removed from each well and washed four times with 400 μl of PBS (phosphate buffered saline). 100 μl of the substrate solution was added and reacted at room temperature for 15 minutes. After stopping the reaction, 100 μl of stop solution (1N H ₂ SO ₄ ) was added and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured with an ELISA reader. A standard concentration curve was drawn to confirm the amount of collagen.

Table 7 below shows the percentage of the sample-treated group (negative control group).

Promotion rate of collagen biosynthesis sample Collagen biosynthesis rate (%) Negative control group 100% The mineral composition of Example 1 137% The mineral fermentation product of <Example 2-1> 167% The mineral fermentation product of <Example 2-2> 159%

The results of the above Table 7 show that both the mineral composition of the examples and the fermented product thereof have an activity of promoting collagen biosynthesis, and when combined with the results of the cytotoxicity experiment, the collagen biosynthesis promoting activity is not a result of cytotoxicity Tell me. Here too, the mineral fermented product has high collagen biosynthesis promoting activity.

< Experimental Example  3> Experiment of ultraviolet blocking effect

For the UV blocking activity test, the cosmetic composition of [Table 8] was prepared with the following components and contents (wt%). For the mineral fermented product, only the mineral composition of Example 2-1 was used, and the cosmetic composition of Comparative Example was prepared by further containing talc by the amount of the mineral composition and mineral fermented product of the examples.

Cosmetic composition division Production Example 1 Production Example 2 Comparative Example Mica 32.0 32.0 32.0 Talc 42.0 42.0 54.0 Octylmethoxy cinnamate 6.0 6.0 6.0 Titanium dioxide 4.0 4.0 4.0 Zinc oxide 4.0 4.0 4.0 The mineral composition of Example 1 12.0 - The mineral fermentation product of <Example 2-1> - 12.0 -

The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) and PFA (Protection Factor of UVA) of the cosmetic composition prepared above were measured according to the 'UV Protection Function Test Method' of the 'Standards and Test Methods for Functional Cosmetics' notified by the Korean Food and Drug Administration. Here, the higher the SPF / PFA, the better the UVB / UVA blocking effect.

Specifically, the SPF was applied to a transpore tape so that the sample was 2 mg / cm ² , dried for 15 minutes, and then measured with an SPF 290 measuring apparatus. PFA measurement was performed in 10 male and female subjects. ² and applied with a Xenon lamp. Using a multi-port solar simulator 601-300W (Solar Light, USA) as a light source, after a lapse of 2 to 4 hours from ultraviolet A irradiation, (MPPD) was calculated and PFA was calculated according to the following equation.

PFA = [MPPD of the sample application site] / [MPPD of the site where the sample is not toppled]

The results are shown in Table 9 below as MEAN ± SD, which is repeated three times.

SPF and PFA measurement results division SPF PFA The cosmetic composition of Preparation Example 1 31.27 ± 0.37 6.87 + - 0.46 The cosmetic composition of Preparation Example 2 35.31 + - 0.52 7.21 + - 0.37 The cosmetic composition of Comparative Example 18.63 + - 0.31 5.64 + - 0.41

The results of the above Table 9 show that the mineral composition and the fermented product exhibit ultraviolet shielding effect against UVA and UVB, and that the mineral fermentation product has a higher ultraviolet shielding effect.
