Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for promoting hair growth or preventing hair loss comprising a mixed extract of silk grass and coffee. Background Technology

[0002] Although the human scalp contains approximately 80,000 to 90,000 hairs, it is normal for the average person to lose 50 to 70 hairs daily. However, if more than 100 hairs fall out excessively without any apparent reason after washing or sleeping, one may suspect alopecia. While the exact causes of such hair loss have not yet been precisely identified, it is generally known to be attributed to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, excessive stress, seborrheic dermatitis, poor blood circulation in the scalp (tension of scalp muscles), dietary habits, nutritional and iron deficiencies, hair pulling (traction alopecia), atopic constitution, hair pollution (frequent perms, dyeing, use of hair dryers, etc.), air pollution, infectious and inflammatory diseases, chemical factors (alcohol, drugs, smoking), childbirth, and menopausal disorders.

[0003] In the human body, hair grows from hair follicles located in the skin. The hair follicle, where hair grows, is a complex organ composed of an inner root epithelial sheath, an outer root epithelial sheath, a hair shaft, and a hair matrix. It is characterized by the continuous repetition of cycles such as the growth phase, regression phase, and resting phase throughout a person's life. In particular, among the cells forming the hair follicle, dermal papilla cells play a crucial role in hair growth. During the growth phase, proliferation occurs among the constituent cells of the hair follicle, including keratinocytes of the matrix surrounding the dermal papilla. During the regression phase, growth of the hair follicle ceases, and apoptosis, condensation of the dermal papilla, and reorganization of the extracellular matrix take place. In the resting phase, which is the stage preparing the hair follicle to re-enter the growth phase, only the permanently persisting portion, including the raised area, remains.

[0004] Hair is divided into the root and the shaft, and hair grows within the hair follicle surrounding the root. Two important factors regulating the biological characteristics of the hair follicle are the outer root sheath (ORS) cells, which are follicular epithelium, and the mesenchymal-derived hair papilla (DP); hair grows and falls out through the repetition of the hair cycle. Hair undergoes three main stages: the growth phase (anagen), the regression phase (catagen), and the resting phase (telogen). Hair is formed and shed from the stratum corneum through the proliferation and differentiation of the epidermis and hair follicle, respectively. It is known that mesenchymal-derived transgenic amplification cells exist in the root sheath (DP) beneath the hair follicle to maintain the hair papilla of the growth-phase follicle. Various hormones (such as testosterone), cytokines, and growth factors are known to be involved in hair morphogenesis and the regulation of hair growth. An increase in the number and size of hair follicles was observed during the growth phase; unlike hair follicles in the resting phase which are located in the dermis, hair follicles in the growth phase are located in the deep subcutaneous tissue, so the increase in the number and size of hair follicles is closely associated with the growth phase.

[0005] With the recent rise in emphasis on appearance, interest in hair loss is also increasing. While various theories regarding the causes of hair loss have been discussed—including poor blood circulation, excessive male hormone activity, excessive sebum secretion, scalp function deterioration caused by peroxides and bacteria, genetic factors, aging, and stress—the clear cause of hair loss remains unknown.

[0006] The background description of the invention is provided to facilitate a better understanding of the present invention. The matters described in the background description should not be construed as an acknowledgment that they exist as prior art. The problem to be solved

[0007] Currently, the representative hair loss treatments approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are synthetic drugs such as topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, but several side effects are continuously being reported for these products. While finasteride works by inhibiting the conversion of the male hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a substance that causes hair loss, concerns have been raised regarding its potential to decrease male libido. Minoxidil, originally developed as a treatment for hypertension, was later developed as a hair growth stimulant following reports of hair growth promotion through follicle activation, but side effects such as various skin diseases are also being reported.

[0008] Natural substances useful for hair growth studied so far include soybeans ( Glycine linne , isoflavone), ginger ( Zingiber officinale , 6-gingerol), chili pepper ( Capsicum annuum ), Aloe ( Aloe arborescens ), licorice ( Glycyrrhiza glabra ), tea tree ( Camellia sinensis ), ginkgo tree( Ginkgo biloba ), avocado( Persea Americana ), White Polygonum multiflorum ( Polygonum multiflorum Although such natural products have been reported, despite efforts to utilize them, the commercialization of hair growth promoters or hair loss inhibitors is still minimal due to their low activity compared to pharmaceuticals.

[0009] Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention, through repeated research to develop a natural material with excellent hair growth-promoting and hair loss-preventing effects, confirmed that a mixed extract of silk grass and coffee alleviates the progression of hair loss and promotes hair growth, thereby completing the present invention.
