[Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a method for producing an external skin preparation according to one embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 shows one embodiment of the present invention, and a skin external preparation 10 of this embodiment contains acidic spring water 12, which is hot spring water from an acidic spring that is a hot spring with high acidity, shell ginger water 14, which is an extract of shell ginger belonging to the ginger family, and loofah water 16 extracted from the loofah vine.

[0013] The acidic spring water 12 is strongly acidic with a pH of less than 2.0, and contains 1 mg or more of hydrogen ions per kilogram of hot spring water. It is characterized by a sour taste when ingested. It also has a bactericidal effect. When used for bathing, it is effective against various skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis vulgaris, impaired glucose tolerance (diabetes), and epidermal suppuration. Acidic springs are found in various places in Japan, and in this embodiment, the acidic spring water 12 from Tamagawa Onsen in Akita Prefecture is used.

[0014] The acid spring water of Tamagawa Onsen is strongly acidic with a pH of 1.05, and contains metasilicic acid and minerals. Metasilicic acid is contained in 300-450 mg per kg of acid spring water, for example 388.6 mg. Other than that, metaboric acid is contained in 201.9 mg, and sulfuric acid is contained in 251.6 mg. Minerals include sodium ion 66.2 mg, potassium ion 34.7 mg, magnesium ion 52.9 mg, calcium ion 157.5 mg, aluminum ion 275.1 mg, and iron ion 161.5 mg.

[0015] Acid spring water 12 is said to have various effects other than skin diseases. For example, it is effective for nervous system diseases including rheumatism, and increases the secretion of steroid hormones by enhancing the function of the adrenal cortex, which leads to the promotion of self-healing. It is also effective for blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases, lowering high blood pressure, not affecting normal blood pressure very much, and raising low blood pressure in contrast, which has a favorable regulating effect on the cardiovascular system, and has the effect of suppressing the increase in blood cholesterol and arteriosclerosis of blood vessels. In addition, in spinal and cerebral palsy, there is an increase in muscle function, and improvement in paralysis and speech. In anemia and leukopenia, it stimulates the hemopoietic organs and activates and regulates their function. In addition, it is effective in activating liver function, recovering from fatigue, activating and rejuvenating cells, enhancing the body's immune and antibacterial powers, and promoting health. In addition to the above, it is also effective for skin diseases such as tinea, Widal's lichen, chronic eczema, and tumors.

[0016] Shell Ginger Water14 is obtained by extracting shell ginger, a plant of the ginger family native to Okinawa, using steam distillation. It is a floral water containing shell ginger essential oil, and also contains tannins, pectin, etc. Shell ginger has been used in daily life in Okinawa since ancient times, and the leaves have bactericidal, antibacterial, and anti-body odor effects.

[0017] Shell ginger water 14 has about 34 times the amount of polyphenols compared to red wine, and has a high antioxidant effect. It also contains flavonoid compounds that prevent myocardial infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, and has high potential for use in medicine. It also has an insect repellent effect, repelling mosquitoes. It has also been found to tighten the skin, increase metabolism, revitalize the skin, and improve age spots and wrinkles, making it effective as a beauty ingredient. It has also been revealed that it has the effect of promoting collagen synthesis in cells, and is effective in beauty because it contains a lot of polyphenols that remove active oxygen, which causes aging and lifestyle-related diseases. Shell ginger is said to have various other effects, such as hair growth, insect bites, atopic dermatitis, athlete's foot, acne, eczema, age spots, fine wrinkles, stomatitis, the calming effect of aromatherapy, and itchy eyes, rhinitis, and stuffy nose caused by hay fever.

[0018] Loofah water16 is said to improve dry skin and other skin conditions. It is said to have been introduced from China during the Muromachi period, and since ancient times it has been recognized for its detoxifying properties, as well as its efficacy in treating swelling, pain, chapped skin, promoting blood circulation, and dermatitis. It contains moisturizing ingredients and gives hair a glossy finish. The saponin contained in loofah water16 activates skin cells and prolongs their life. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect that is effective against sunburn and hot flashes, and promotes the regeneration of damaged skin cells. Loofah water16 is also said to have various other effects. For example, it has medicinal properties such as eliminating fever and regulating the nervous system, and is also effective on cuts.

[0019] Furthermore, the skin topical preparation 10 of this embodiment contains pine sap 18 or a surfactant 20 produced from a pine sap component and a natural oil fatty acid, and the water containing each component contains high-concentration active hydrogen ion water 22. High-concentration active hydrogen ion water 22 has extremely small water molecule clusters compared to tap water and a high active hydrogen ion concentration.

[0020] Pine sap 18 contains Pycnogenol (registered trademark), an antioxidant containing flavonoids such as procyanidin. When ingested, pine sap components such as Pycnogenol (registered trademark) have antioxidant effects, as well as anti-inflammatory effects, blood pressure lowering effects, blood sugar lowering effects, etc. Furthermore, when applied to the skin, they have effects such as hemostatic, antiperspirant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects.

[0021] The surfactant 20 to be mixed with the pine sap 18 is added so that each component of the pine sap 18 and the like is mixed uniformly, and is a plant-derived surfactant 20 that is not harmful to the skin. For example, the surfactant 20 is made of tall oil fatty acid of tall oil extracted from pine. This surfactant 20 is less toxic to human skin than synthetic detergents. For example, the LD50 value (mg / kg) (median lethal dose: an index of acute toxicity of a substance, a lethal dose value, which is the dose at which half of the administered animals die, mg of administered weight per kg of animal body weight (mg / kg)), which is a standard for measuring the safety of a drug, is 2700 for the safest synthetic detergent, while the tall oil fatty acid surfactant 20 of this embodiment is 34400. Furthermore, when an antibacterial agent such as hexaclofen is used, the effect is well exhibited.

[0022] Surfactant 20 may be a plant-derived surfactant using orange oil, rice bran, or palm oil, in addition to tall oil. Furthermore, the surfactant may contain pure soap and potassium fatty acid. This surfactant is weakly alkaline and does not contain any fluorescent whitening agents, bleaching agents, coloring agents, preservatives, or foaming agents.

[0023] High-concentration active hydrogen ion water 22 has the smallest possible clusters of water molecules and a high concentration of active hydrogen ions compared to tap water. High-concentration active hydrogen ion water 22 is water in which clusters are minimized by pressurizing water molecules to ultra-high pressure (over 200 atmospheres) and spraying them from a nozzle to collide with each other. As a result, it has good permeability to the skin, an extremely low deuterium content, and is rich in natural hydrogen ions despite not being subjected to any processing such as electrolysis. When humans drink it, the hydrogen electrons contained in the water are taken by active oxygen in the body and the water turns into water.

[0024] Natural water is said to contain about 150 ppm of deuterium (2H). In this embodiment, the high-concentration active hydrogen ion water 22 is produced by applying ultra-high pressure to water molecules using nanotechnology, causing them to collide, disintegrating the water molecules and deuterium, and producing hydrogen (light hydrogen). In ultrapure water, there is little oxygen, so light hydrogen is not taken away and is mixed in with the water. Light hydrogen (active hydrogen) is a free radical and tries to bond with something. Hydrogen electrons are easily taken away with one electron, and are particularly likely to bond with oxygen electrons to become water (at this time, heat and electric ions are generated). In ultrapure water, water is ionic-bonded to a 6-membered ring, so light hydrogen (active hydrogen) enters the 6-membered ring and exists in the water due to light ionic bonds.

[0025] In ultrapure water, the amount of oxygen is extremely small, so light hydrogen (active hydrogen) remains in the six-membered ring of the water molecule. In addition, the high-concentration active hydrogen ionized water 22 according to this embodiment maintains an extremely high state of electronic vibration (wave motion) by colliding at a pressure equal to or higher than the limit point of water (373.95°C: 220.64 bar), so it is expected that light hydrogen (active hydrogen) is unlikely to escape from the water. From the above phenomenon, the high-concentration active hydrogen ionized water 22 according to this embodiment is deuterium-reduced water and also contains a large amount of light water (active hydrogen).

[0026] The high-concentration active hydrogen ion water 22 according to this embodiment is particularly effective against Helicobacter pylori, acne bacteria, and bacteria that have active oxygen due to its reductive and sterilizing power against malignant bacteria in the body. It has a reductive and sterilizing power that has a sterilizing effect against positively charged bacteria, but is ineffective against negatively charged bacteria. In addition, although active oxygen is the cause of aging, it is thought that it is possible to delay aging by reducing it with hydrogen ions. In addition, the high-concentration active hydrogen ion water 22 is thought to be applicable in many fields, such as drinking water, cosmetics, pharmaceutical extraction water, culture solution, dye promotion solution, cleaning solution, and sterilizing solution.

[0027] The ultra-high concentration active hydrogen ionized water 22 according to this embodiment has a safe sterilization effect (reductive sterilization) without the generation of bacteria for a long period of time due to the ability of active hydrogen, even without UV sterilization, etc. As described above, the penetration power, safety, and active hydrogen ability of the ultra-high concentration active hydrogen ionized water make it suitable for a wide range of uses, such as long-term storage water, extraction water for medicines, improvement of the penetration of cosmetics, cleaning of electronic parts, and harmless sterilization and sterilization water.

[0028] As described above, the high concentration active hydrogen ion water 22 according to this embodiment has stable hydrogen ions, contains 10 to 20 times more hydrogen ion concentration than tap water with a pH of 7, and has an extremely excellent reducing power of active oxygen. Furthermore, since the pH value is stable even over time, it can be said that the hydrogen ion concentration is stable.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, this skin external preparation 10 is a liquid produced by mixing the above-mentioned acidic spring water 12, shell ginger water 14, loofah water 16, pine sap 18, plant-derived surfactant 20, and high-concentration active hydrogen ion water 22. The mixing ratio of the acidic spring water 12 from the source, the shell ginger water 14 extracted and not diluted, the loofah water 16 extracted and not diluted, the pine sap 18 or pine sap components, the surfactant 20, and the high-concentration active hydrogen ion water 22 is, for example, about 4:1:1:0.5:0.5:3 in mass ratio. The preferred range is 3-6:1:0.5-2:0.2-1:0.2-1:2-5, assuming the shell ginger water 14 is 1. The preferred range of mass ratio of the high-concentration active hydrogen ion water 22 to the pine sap 18 is 10:1-4:1.

[0030] The skin topical agent 10 is used by applying the liquid to the skin of humans or animals. The application method is to apply it directly by hand or by spraying. In addition to applying it directly to the skin, it can also be sprayed in a room to deodorize the room or repel mosquitoes. Furthermore, the skin topical agent may be made into a mousse-like form and may be allowed to penetrate the skin while brushing the animal. This allows the active ingredient to be applied evenly all over. In addition, if it is made into a mousse-like form, it will not scatter around, and it is hygienic and easy to use without soiling the surroundings. The target animals may be pets such as dogs, cats, and ferrets, as well as livestock. The timing of use is preferably after shampooing, but it may be used at an appropriate time.

[0031] According to the skin external preparation of this embodiment, a bactericidal component and a moisturizing component are blended, and the high bactericidal power keeps the skin of humans and animals clean, and is effective in preventing and curing skin diseases, while the moisturizing power prevents irritation caused by the bactericidal component. By using it on animals kept in captivity, the coat and skin condition can be kept good. Since the proliferation of bacteria on the skin and bad odors can be prevented, a deodorizing effect can be obtained, and even if the animal is indoors, it does not generate bad odors, and it can be kept comfortably. Furthermore, the number of times shampooing can be reduced, and dermatitis and stress caused by excessive shampooing can be prevented.

[0032] In addition, since it is made of natural and safe ingredients, it is harmless even if the animal licks itself after applying it to the animal's body. It is also effective on cuts and can heal small wounds. It is also effective in curing existing skin diseases. It has a mosquito repellent effect, so by applying it to the animal's skin or spraying it in the room, it can prevent heartworm, which is transmitted by mosquitoes.

[0033] The skin external preparation 10 of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and even if ingested, it is safe and does not cause any health problems, and can be used for preventing bad breath by washing the mouth of humans or animals, maintaining healthy gums, and treating or preventing periodontal disease. It can also be used to treat bedsores, etc.

[0034] The acid spring water may be strong acid spring water other than Tamagawa Onsen, so long as it has the same bactericidal power and other efficacy as Tamagawa Onsen. The ratio of acid spring water, shell ginger water, and loofah water may be other than the above, and the concentration may be set appropriately. The pine sap preferably contains Pycnogenol (registered trademark), but may be various pine saps or their refined components. The surfactant may be one whose main ingredient is naturally derived fatty acid, and may contain surfactants produced from other fatty acids as described above. The form of the skin external preparation may be a liquid aqueous solution used as a spray or mousse, or may be any form such as a cream or ointment. [Explanation of symbols]
