[0003] Generally, there are various causes for human skin to darken, but the primary cause, in particular, is skin darkening due to ultraviolet rays. It is exposure. When skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays, melanin within melanocytes, a type of skin cell (melanin) is synthesized and released, causing the skin to turn black.
[0004] If we examine the process of melanin synthesis in melanocytes, tyrosine within the cell acts as a substrate for tyrosine An enzyme called tyrosinase acts to produce dopaquinone, and from dopaquinone, spontaneous Melanin, a copolymer black pigment, is produced through phosphorus and enzymatic reactions.
[0005] Therefore, in order to prevent the skin from turning dark, the aforementioned melanin is inhibited by inhibiting some reactions during the melanin production process. Methods to reduce synthesis are generally easily carried out.
[0006] For such uses, conventionally ascorbic acid, kojic acid, arbutin, and hydroquinone have been used. Various plant extracts, such as hydroquinone, were frequently used. Among these, kojic acid is tyrosinase It acts to inhibit enzyme activity by chelating copper ions present in the active site, and although it has good performance, Its use is restricted due to safety issues when formulated into cosmetics, and hydroquinone is irritating to the skin. Due to this high level, this ingredient is also currently not being applied to cosmetics due to safety concerns. means of solving the problem
[0007] The present invention aims to overcome the problems of existing known natural ingredients having whitening functions, and has skin safety Developing new, previously undiscovered uses as whitening cosmetics from these outstanding and diverse natural plant ingredients It aims to do so. Effects of the invention The rose petal extract according to the present invention and the cosmetic composition containing the same have a previously unknown skin whitening function. By containing it, it has a skin-whitening effect when applied to cosmetics, and at the same time, as a natural plant ingredient, for the skin It has the advantage of being less irritating, making it significantly more advantageous in terms of safety compared to existing ingredients.
