Description

Cosmetic composition comprising snail slime and illite extract, and method for manufacturing the same

The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition, and more particularly, by mixing snail mucus and illite extract in an appropriate ratio, including snail mucus and illite extract, which has a moisturizing effect, reduced irritation compared to conventional snail mucus, and relieved itching. It relates to a cosmetic composition constituted.

As the standard of living increases, people are putting in a lot of effort to improve their appearance. In particular, people of all ages have the desire to have clean skin, and the development of various cosmetics and the increase in consumption thereof represent this.

Cosmetics function not only for cleanliness and aesthetics, but also for free radicals (free radicals) caused by external factors such as moisture, fine dust, pollutants, stress, ultraviolet rays, and other internal factors such as decreased immune cell function and decreased cell activity. It blocks or inhibits the occurrence of skin aging such as destruction of proteins, nucleic acids, and cell membrane lipids by radicals), free radicals, peroxides, and the like.

In addition, cosmetics having whitening, skin wrinkle improvement and suppression, and UV blocking functions are continuously being developed to satisfy consumers' desire for high-functional cosmetics. Among them, skin whitening and anti-aging products are receiving a lot of attention from consumers who want to keep their skin young.

Among them, as the standards for beauty are changing, interest in skin whitening is increasing regardless of age between teenagers and the elderly in their 50s and 60s, regardless of gender. Skin whitening is a functional expression that whitens and brightens the skin. Scientifically, it is the effect of suppressing the production of melanin in the skin layer, thereby alleviating the darkening of the skin. Melanin has the function of removing harmful radicals, so it plays a role in protecting the skin of modern people who are exposed to harmful substances for a long time in their daily life.

On the other hand, the epidermis of the skin that is excessively exposed to UV light turns black and exhibits toxicity due to melanin precursors as well as blackish-brown pigmentation, leading to cell necrosis or death, skin aging, skin cancer, melasma, freckles, and pigmentation.

Melanin is a high-molecular dark brown pigment that protects the skin from UV rays by absorbing more than a certain amount of UV rays. Such melanin is produced not only by sunlight and ultraviolet rays, but also by prostaglandins or estrogen, and affects the activation of the tyrosinase enzyme. Tyrosinase activity is also responsible for the occurrence of spots or freckles.

As L-tyrosine is oxidized in melanocytes by tyrosinase present in cells, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine or L-DOPA) is formed, which is again It produces a substance called dopaquinone. The generated dopaquinone synthesizes melanin through oxidation by itself.

On the other hand, the mucus excreted by snails is known to have various positive effects on the skin. The snail (Acusta despecta sieboldiana) belongs to the gastropod family and about 20,000 species are known in the world. Because snails have weak mobility, their populations are isolated by region, resulting in many subspecies. Among them, the African onyx snail (Achatina achatina) with a large (shell height of 100 mm) and the snail (Valononiacostata) with a shell height of about 1 mm are among them. . It is known to be distributed mainly in temperate and tropical regions such as Korea, Japan, and China. A component of snail's mucus is called mucin, and a component of mucin is chondroitin sulfate. In addition, the main nutrients are known as protein (54.29%), lipid (4.18%), carbohydrates (30.45%), and ash (4.07%). It is known that glycolic acid is effective in preventing skin troubles, and collagen and elastin maintain skin elasticity.

Cosmetics using snail mucus are being developed in various ways, for example, a cosmetic composition for skin regeneration containing snail mucus, Indian frankincense resin and aloe vera complex extract, and a cream containing the same ('Patent Document 1'), and a red ginseng extract. A method for producing a moisturizing cream cosmetic using the used ('Patent Document 2') and a cosmetic composition for skin protection ('Patent Document 3') have been disclosed. Conventional cosmetics using snail mucus have been developed in the direction of enhancing the efficacy by adding plant extracts or processed plant extracts as described above.

The terms or words used in the present specification and claims conform to the technical idea of the present invention based on the "principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of a term in order to best describe his invention" It should be interpreted as the meaning and concept that

Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not represent all of the technical spirit of the present invention, so various equivalents that can replace them at the time of the present application It should be understood that there may be water and variations.

The cosmetic composition comprising snail mucus and illite extract according to the present invention comprises snail mucus and illite extract.

According to the present invention, a method for preparing a cosmetic composition comprising snail mucus and illite extract comprises: an illite extract manufacturing step (S10) of extracting an active ingredient from illite mineral; snail mucus preparation step of collecting mucus from the snail and then filtering to remove impurities (S20); and a mixing step (S30) of mixing the snail mucus and the illite extract.

The illite extract manufacturing step (S10) includes a powder manufacturing step (S12) of pulverizing the illite to prepare a powder illite powder; Extraction step (S14) of putting the illite powder and water in an airtight container and pressurizing and heating at 1 to 200 atm and 100 to 400 ℃; It is configured including a condensation step (S16) of condensing water vapor in a closed container to obtain an illite extract.

In the powder manufacturing step (S12), the illite powder is manufactured by pulverizing the illite. Illite rocks or rocks can be crushed, and the crushing can be crushed by installing a repulsion plate on the inner wall of the crusher to repeat hitting repulsion, and it can also be classified by installing an additional screen or grid under the crusher. Or turbo mill, super micron mill, port mill, tube mill, conical mill, jet mill, disk mill, pin mill, stamp mill, shredder, hammer mill, hammer crusher, cone crusher, jaw crusher, cutter mill, edge runner, roller Mills, Raymond mills and turbo micron mills or jet mills may be used to pulverize.

Illite can be pulverized into a powder of 100 to 500 mesh size and used for extraction.

In the extraction step (S14), the illite powder is put in an airtight container, water is added, and the active ingredient is extracted from the illite by pressing and heating. In this case, distilled water or purified water may be used as the water. In the case of using tap water or groundwater, it is preferable not to use it because the water contains mineral components and various ions in addition to pure water molecules, which may affect the pH when preparing the illite extract.

Distilled water or purified water may be added in 2 to 4 parts by weight based on 1 part by weight of the illite powder.

A pressure of 1 to 200 atmospheres may be applied to the inside of the sealed container, and may be heated to a temperature of 100 to 400 °C. The heating time may be variously set according to design conditions, and may be heated for 1 to 5 hours.

In the condensation step (S16), the illite extract is obtained by condensing the water vapor eluted from the tube connected to the airtight container. Condensation of water vapor may be performed by a conventional method, and preferably, water vapor may be condensed by water cooling using cooling water.

On the other hand, the present invention can adjust the pH of the illite extract by adjusting the diameter of the tube in the process of elution after the extraction step (S14). That is, if the heating time is increased or the diameter of the tube is set to be small, the residence time of the water vapor in the container is increased and the concentration of ions extracted from the illite is increased by compressing the water vapor, thereby decreasing the pH of the illite extract. Conversely, if the heating time is shortened or the diameter of the tube is set to be wide, the residence time of the water vapor in the container is reduced, the concentration of ions extracted from the illite is relatively decreased, and the pH of the illite extract is increased.

pH control is also closely related to the activity of snail mucus.

The snail mucus preparation step (S20) is a step of preparing snail mucus from which impurities are removed by collecting mucus from the snail and then filtering it. Specifically, the snail mucus preparation step (S20) is a snail breeding step (S22) of feeding the illite extract prepared in the illite extract preparation step (S10) to the snails; A snail pre-processing step (S24) of washing and preparing the reared snails; A mucus collection step of collecting mucus from the pre-treated snails (S26); It is configured to include a filtration step (S28) of removing impurities by filtering the collected mucus.

The snail breeding step (S22) is a step of breeding snails that are mucus collection targets, and the illite extract prepared in the illite extract manufacturing step (S10) is mixed with the feed and fed to the snails. The ratio of feed and illite extract is fed by mixing in a ratio of 1:9 to 3:7 by weight.

The snail pre-treatment step (S24) is a pre-treatment step before collecting mucus. In the snail pretreatment step (S24), the feed is cut off for about 2 days before the mucus is collected and only the illite extract is consumed so that wastes are removed. Then, clean it with tap water or salt water to remove parasites and bacteria that inhabit or parasitize in the snail's body. When using brine, brine with a concentration of 3 to 5% is used. In addition, it is possible to minimize the discharge of mucus by adding vinegar at a content of 2%. Repeat the process of soaking in water and removing it 5 to 10 times.

The mucus collection step (S26) is a step of collecting mucus from the snails that have been washed through the snail pretreatment step (S24). Immediately before the mucus collection step (S26), the snails are immersed in water and then the snails are stimulated by applying ultrasonic waves to the water to induce vibration, and then mucus can be collected. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the efficiency of collecting the mucus.

In the filtration step (S28), the snail mucus collected in the mucus collection step (S26) is filtered using a filter or a filter to remove impurities.

The mixing step (S30) is a step of mixing the snail mucus and the illite extract. The present invention has the advantage of reducing irritation such as itchiness and erythema in addition to moisturizing effect by mixing snail mucus and illite extract.

In the mixing step (S30), it is preferable to mix the snail mucus and the illite extract in a weight ratio of 1:3 to 1:6.
