Cosmetic composition comprising white rose flower extract for skin whitening and improving skin wrinkle

Abstract

Provided is a functional cosmetic composition of white rose extract and a gartanin derivative compound isolated therefrom, and specifically, to a cosmetic composition for skin whitening and skin wrinkle alleviation containing, as active ingredients, white rose petal extract and gartanin derivative compounds isolated therefrom. The white rose extract and gartanin derivative compound, according to the present invention, are safe without causing side effects on the skin, prevent melanin production through a mechanism inhibiting tyrosinase activity, thereby having a whitening effect, and exhibit a wrinkle alleviation effect by a mechanism inhibiting MMP-1 activity, and thus the composition, of the present invention, containing the same as active ingredients, can be utilized as a material for functional cosmetics for skin whitening and wrinkle alleviation without causing skin irritation.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a functional cosmetic composition including, as an active ingredient, white rose extract, and more particularly, to a functional cosmetic composition having skin whitening and wrinkle alleviation functions including, as an active ingredient, white rose extract.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The skin is a defense organ on the front line of the human body which protects the body from external stimuli and even from the aesthetic point of view, an interest thereof has been gradually increased. Accordingly, studies on a variety of functional cosmetics are actively conducted and among the studies, various functional cosmetics for wrinkle alleviation and whitening functions are being launched.[0003]Skin aging is largely divided into two types of intrinsic aging and extrinsic aging according to a cause thereof. The intrinsic aging is an aging process which is naturally caused while a physiological function of the living body is deteriorated as the ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a chemical called 3,5-di-o-methyl-gartanin, which is found in a white rose petal extract. This chemical has the ability to whiten skin by reducing melanin production, improve skin elasticity and reduce wr wrinkles by inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called MMP-1. Therefore, this chemical can be used as an active ingredient in cosmetics to achieve skin whitening and wrinkle reduction without causing skin irritation.

Problems solved by technology

Various causes of the wrinkle generation have been reported and first, when the skin is exposed to excessive UV, decomposition of collagen as a skin ingredient is accelerated and thus the skin elasticity is lost and the wrinkle may be generated.

Further, when the skin is excessively dried by an excessive change in temperature, a decrease in humidity, wind, or the like, the skin function as a barrier to the outside is deteriorated and the wrinkle is generated.

As a result, the wrinkle is generated due to functional and structural damages and thus the skin aging is accelerated.

Particularly, in recent years, whitening cosmetics using the placenta extracts have been in the limelight, but in the placenta extracts, the supply amount is limited and the use there is limited in a combination of ethical issues.

However, in these whitening ingredients, the effect thereof is somewhat minimal and there is a problem during storage, and a wrinkle prevention effect and an aging prevention effect in addition to the whitening effect are not sufficiently exhibited.

Particularly, there is a problem in that functional cosmetics including chemical ingredients cause skin irritation and are not suitable for sensitive skin, and an interest in functional cosmetics having small stimuli to the skin and derived from eco-friendly natural plants has been focused.

Meanwhile, a white rose flower includes, as an active ingredient, a white rose extract in the related art as a species belonging to the genus Rose, and effects such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergy are already disclosed, but skin whitening and wrinkle alleviation effects on the white rose flower are not yet studied.
