[Figure 5] This is a photograph of Example 4, in which the facial lifting effect was observed using the functional cosmetic composition according to the present invention. [Figure 6] This is a photograph of Example 5, in which the facial lifting effect was observed using the functional cosmetic composition according to the present invention. [Figure 7] This is a photograph of Example 6, in which the facial lifting effect was observed using the functional cosmetic composition according to the present invention. [Figure 8] This is a photograph of Example 7, in which the facial lifting effect was observed using the functional cosmetic composition according to the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The method for producing the functional cosmetic according to the present invention and the facial lifting effect using the obtained functional cosmetic will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and photographs. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram for explaining an example of a terahertz wave irradiation system used in a method for manufacturing a functional cosmetic according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 indicates a functional cosmetic according to the present invention. This functional cosmetic 10 may be any one selected from emulsion, lotion, lotion, cream, gel, shampoo, rinse, mask sheet, pack or ointment, and the unprocessed cosmetic 10a of this functional cosmetic is placed on the terahertz wave irradiation bed 6.

[0009] Then, the unprocessed cosmetic 10a placed on the irradiation bed 6 is irradiated with terahertz waves from a terahertz oscillator 1 (and an electromagnetic wave transmitter 2) that generates terahertz waves. Or, in addition to the terahertz waves, electromagnetic waves having a frequency lower than the terahertz waves are irradiated. Reference numeral 1a is a horn antenna, and the terahertz wave irradiation system consists of a condenser lens 3 and a variable aperture plate 4.

[0010] The horn antenna 1a is inside the oscillator and outputs the generated terahertz waves to the condenser lens 3 in a predetermined mode. The condenser lens 3 is a focusing lens that uniformly directs terahertz waves to an irradiation surface (a surface parallel to the plane of the irradiation bed 6). The variable aperture plate 4 has a function of adjusting the irradiation area of the terahertz waves to an optimum value according to the size and thickness of the irradiation target (in this case, the unprocessed cosmetic 10a). Reference numeral 5 is a control device that controls settings such as the irradiation time setting, wavelength setting, and oscillation intensity of the terahertz waves (or electromagnetic waves having a lower frequency than the terahertz waves) irradiated to the unprocessed cosmetic 10a. By irradiating the unprocessed cosmetic 10a with terahertz waves, the fluctuation of the wave value originally possessed by the unprocessed cosmetic 10a is corrected, and when it comes into contact with the facial skin or the like, the lift-up function of the facial skin is exhibited.

[0011] Next, examples of the exhibition of the lift-up function of the manufactured functional cosmetic 10 will be described with several photographs. · Example 1: A test subject (male, 61 years old) was given a comparative test. That is, as shown in Fig. 2, 0.5 g of untreated facial gel (the following gel "EQLAGE") was evenly applied to the front view and the right side face of the test subject A, and on the front view and the left side face, 0.5 g of the treated functional gel obtained by irradiating electromagnetic waves with frequencies of 8 THz, 528 Hz, and 432 Hz for 30 minutes each was evenly applied. After leaving it for 2 minutes, the face was observed. As can be seen from Fig. 2, in the front view, the contour of the left side face was clearly reduced, and it was confirmed that the facial skin on the left side was lifted up. The above gel is mainly composed of silica, squalane, and purple root extract, and is "EQLAGE" (trade name) of CHARITES JAPAN Co., Ltd.

[0012] · Example 2 A test subject (male, 62 years old) was given a comparative test. That is, using the same untreated facial gel and treated functional gel as in Example 1, a test was conducted on the test subject B under the same conditions. As a result, as can be seen from Fig. 3, the contour of the left side face was clearly reduced, the position of the cheekbones became higher, the jawline became thinner, and it was confirmed that the facial skin on the left side was lifted up.

[0013] · Example 3: A test subject (female, 53 years old) was given a comparative test. That is, using the same untreated facial gel and treated functional gel as in Example 1, a test was conducted on the test subject C under the same conditions. As a result, as can be seen from Fig. 4, the position of the cheekbones on the left side face was lifted up high, the contour was clearly reduced, and it was confirmed that the facial skin on the left side was lifted up.

[0014] · Example 4 A test subject (female, 43 years old) was given a comparative test. Specifically, using the same untreated facial gel and treated functional gel as in Example 1, as shown in Figure 5, 0.5g of the untreated facial gel ("EQLAGE") was evenly applied to the left side of subject D's face in a frontal view, and 0.5g of the treated functional gel, obtained by irradiating the right side of the face in a frontal view with terahertz waves of 8 THz, electromagnetic waves of 528 Hz, and electromagnetic waves of 432 Hz for 30 minutes each, was evenly applied. After leaving it for 2 minutes, the face was observed. As a result, as can be seen in Figure 5, the right side of the face showed a reduction in width and a clear reduction in contour, indicating that the facial skin on the right side had been lifted.

[0015] • Example 5 A comparative study was conducted on subject E (female, 28 years old). Specifically, the same untreated facial gel and treated functional gel as in Example 1 were used to test subject E under the same conditions as in Example 4. As a result, as can be seen in Figure 6, the entire cheek on the right side of the face was lifted, the width of the face decreased, and the contour was clearly reduced, indicating that the facial skin on the right side had been lifted.

[0016] Example 6: A comparative study was conducted on subject F (female, 53 years old). Specifically, as shown in Figure 7, 0.5g of untreated facial cream (see below for "Agenne Fermented and Aged P Cream") was evenly applied to the left side of subject F's face in a frontal view, and 0.5g of treated functional facial cream, obtained by irradiating the right side of the face in a frontal view with terahertz waves of 2 THz, electromagnetic waves of 72 kHz, and electromagnetic waves of 390 Hz for 15 minutes each, was evenly applied. After leaving it for 2 minutes, the face was observed. As can be seen in Figure 7, in a frontal view, the right side of the face, from the corner of the mouth to the cheekbone, is generally lifted slightly, and the contour is clearly reduced, indicating that the facial skin on the right side has been lifted. The face cream mentioned above is a product of Happiness Co., Ltd., and its main ingredients are Saccharomyces / (brown sugar / placenta extract) ferment filtrate, petrolatum, isopentyl diol, and glycerin.

[0017] Example 7: A comparative study was conducted on subject G (female, 53 years old). Specifically, as shown in Figure 8, 0.5g of untreated Elixir Superieur facial emulsion (see below) was evenly applied to the left side of subject G's face in a frontal view, and 0.5g of treated functional emulsion, obtained by irradiating the right side of the face in a frontal view with terahertz waves of 1 THz, electromagnetic waves of 1000 Hz, and electromagnetic waves of 7.8 Hz for 50 minutes each, was evenly applied. After leaving it for 2 minutes, the face was observed. As can be seen in Figure 8, in a frontal view, the right side of the face shows a higher cheek position and lifted skin around the mouth, clearly reducing the contour, and the left side of the face appears to have been lifted. The above-mentioned Elixir Superieur (lotion) is a Shiseido Co., Ltd. product whose main ingredients are potassium 4-methoxysalicylate, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, St. John's wort extract, sweet clover extract, hydrolyzed conchiolin solution, olive leaf extract, coix seed extract, L-arginine hydrochloride, watercress extract, nosit, water-soluble collagen (F), purified water, and dipropylene glycol.
