Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lotion composition, and more particularly to a lotion composition that provides various nutritional ingredients to the skin, promotes skin metabolism, and provides smoothness and moisture to the skin surface. The present invention relates to a moisturizing lotion composition.

Technical background of the invention and its problems The skin consists of the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
It has a variety of functions, including acting as the outer skin of the human body to protect various organs within the body from the outside world, sensory functions, body temperature regulation, and substance metabolism. When such skin is exposed to harmful stimuli directly from the outside world, the skin epidermis becomes rough, resulting in so-called rough skin, rashes, etc.
Symptoms called sores may appear. Alternatively, the skin may become dry and flaky due to a decrease in the skin's moisturizing function.

It is widely practiced to apply lotion compositions to skin in such rough conditions.
The lotion composition is applied to the skin, especially the outermost layer of the stratum corneum, to moisturize the skin, promote blood circulation in the skin,
It is used for skin cleansing. In addition to such cosmetic lotions, lotion compositions with special purposes have also been developed. Toner compositions with such special purposes include, for example, those to which powders such as calamine, zinc oxide, and bentonite are added to soothe hot flashes on excessively sunburned skin, and astringent compositions such as zinc paraphenolsulfonate. Examples include those with added agents.

Purpose of the invention and its summary As a result of intensive research to develop a lotion that is more effective against symptoms such as rough skin, rashes, sores, and dry skin, the inventor of the present invention discovered that the use of shiitake mushroom mycelium extract as a makeup lotion. The inventors have completed the present invention by discovering that when the resulting lotion composition is applied to the skin by incorporating it into a water composition, the above-mentioned symptoms are rapidly recovered.

That is, the lotion composition according to the present invention is characterized in that a shiitake mushroom mycelium extract is blended into the lotion base.

The lotion composition according to the present invention has been found to be particularly effective when applied to skin roughened by tinea fungi such as athlete's foot or skin that has become dry due to cold weather.

Detailed Description of the Invention The Shiitake mycelium extract blended into the lotion composition is obtained by extracting various active ingredients from a solid medium containing Shiitake mycelium obtained by growing Shiitake fungi on a solid medium based on Bacchus. It is an extract obtained by extraction with water or a mixed solvent of water and an organic solvent such as alcohol. This shiitake mushroom mycelium extract contains large amounts of various amino acids and vitamins.

Furthermore, it has been discovered that shiitake mushroom mycelium extract also contains lentinol, a compound with strong antibacterial activity, and this lentinol exhibits antibacterial activity against Trichophyton, for example. It is speculated that it provides quick recovery to skin damaged by athlete's foot, etc.

It has been confirmed that the shiitake mycelium extract contains extremely large amounts of nutritional components and medicinal components compared to the shiitake mushroom extract. For example, 2.07g of shiitake mushroom mycelium per 100g of mycelium.
Contains threonine, an essential amino acid, whereas shiitake mushroom fruiting bodies only contain 0.8g per 100g of fruiting bodies.
It only contains threonine.

This Shiitake mushroom mycelium extract is produced by inoculating Shiitake fungus into a solid medium based on Bacas, and then multiplying the mycelium. After adding enzymes such as cellulase, protease or glucosidase, the solid medium is crushed and crushed to extract the active ingredients, and then heated to a temperature of up to 95°C to deactivate the enzymes and sterilize the solid medium. You can get it.

The time to unravel the solid medium containing mycelium is preferably when the mycelium has grown sufficiently in the solid medium and immediately before or immediately after the fruiting body appears.

The lotion composition according to the present invention can contain components other than the shiitake mushroom mycelium extract that are commonly used in lotion compositions. For example, (a) alcohols such as ethanol and isopropynol, (b) humectants such as glycerin, propylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol, (c) softeners such as ester oils and higher alcohols, and (d) dry and moisturizers such as potassium hydroxide. Softeners, (e) Solubilizers such as polyoxyethylene oleyl ether, (f) Thickeners such as quince seed and gum tragacanth, (g) Preservatives such as benzalkonium chloride and paraoxybenzoic acid ester, (h) Astringents such as zinc paraphenolsulfonate, (i) fragrances,
Dyes and the like can be added to the lotion composition.

If the shiitake mushroom mycelium extract is concentrated, it can be diluted with purified water and used as a base for a lotion composition, or if the extract is not very concentrated, it can be used as it is in a lotion composition. It can also be used as a base.

The lotion composition according to the present invention can be produced by a general manufacturing method for a lotion composition, except that the shiitake mushroom mycelium extract is used as a lotion base either as it is or after being diluted with purified water.
