DP+-ai l,~.d Desc"rip tion; of the r"llvention
A body cosmetic pigment composition of the present
invention is produced by a predetermined process after mixing
various ingredients extracted from marine plants, such as sea
tangles and brown seaweeds, together with sodium chloride
solution, silica, aluminum, magnesium, and the like. At first,
characteristics of the brown seaweeds and the sea tangles and
a method for extracting its solution will be explained herein.
The brown seaweed and the sea tangle contain calcium and
potassium in a rich amount, specially th.e potassium twice as
much as sodium. When ingesting plenty of the potassium, the
potassium is excreted in company with the sodium in urine, so
preventing water from being supplied extremely to the interior
of the body primarily.
Additionally, the seaweed and the sea tangle contain
iodine in a rich amount. The iodine is closely related to the
thyroid gland, so lack of the iodine may cause the thyroid
gland diseases. Specially, it is known that abnormality of
hormone secretion leads to gain a weight, while a functional
deterioration of the thyroid gland can be prevented by
ingesting the brown seaweeds and the sea tangles among the
3

kelps.
The brown seaweeds and the sea tangles also contain
selenium. The selenium exists in sea water and soil in a very
3a
CA 02244286 1998-09-11
small amount and is a rare mineral essential to a metabolism of
the human body. In addition, the selenium is a component of
glutathione-peroxidase, which prevents cells from being
oxidized or broken down. Therefore, the selenium is considered
as a necessary mineral for cellular functions in human body.
In particular, the seaweeds and the sea tangles contain a
lot of alginic acid. According to experiments, it is known that
various antibacterial materials, physiological activator, and
various minerals are contained in the alginic acid, and that,
l0 when injecting the alginic acid in a laboratory rat, the level
of neutral lipid and cholesterol decrease.

Also, when eating the brown seaweeds and the sea tangles,
they are crushed by teeth, resolved by digestive enzymes, and
then absorbed in viscera in ion state. Therefore, it is
important for various ingredients of the brown seaweeds and the
sea tangles to be extracted in the ion state and absorbed in
capillaries through skin in a simple manner without the
20 numerous processes, as described above.
Therefore, to extract solution, which are ions of various
ingredients, from the brown seaweeds and the sea tangle is
CA 02244286 1998-09-11
important first of all in the present invention. But, heating
to about 100°C for extraction may result in breaking the
physiological activator and several minerals.
In the present invention, the solution of the brown
seaweeds and the sea tangles is extracted by freezing and
thawing them repeatedly because it derives tissue destruction
of leaf body cells so to easily extract various ingredients.
The leaf body is most easily destructed when repeatedly
freezing to -7°C and then thawing to +5°C. On the contrary, when
repeatedly freezing to -3°C and thawing to +1°C, the cell tissue
destruction is decreased but as acceptable degree. It is
understood that the leaf body tissue cell can be destructed by
generating freezing points. Then, the leaf body is grinded by
a grinder, such as 'Polytron pt2o00', in 6,000 revolutions per
minute for destructing more than 90% of the leaf body. When
grinding, it is difficult to grind the leaf body only.
Therefore, for grinding the leaf body effectively, sodium
chloride solution mixed with the leaf body under consideration
of concentration in the leaf body, so the sodium chloride
solution is at about 2.0 - 2.2% concentration. On the other
hand, the brown seaweeds and the sea tangles, which are live,
frozen, stored, or treated, are all available.
Secondly, roles of the sodium chloride will be explained
below.
It is well known that the human body mainly consists of
water. The water solves several kinds of nutritive elements and
minerals, which are physiological activating materials, and
intermediates physiological reactions in cells.
A total amount of water in human body is about 60 - 70% of
body weight, and men generally have higher percentage of water
than women, and the fat than the thin. Water in human body is
referred to humor, which is divided in two classifications of
intracellular humor and extracellular humor.
The intracellular humor is water existing in cells, and is
occupying 2/3 of the humor. The remaining 1/3 of the humor is
dispersed among the extracellular humors. Therefore, in case of
6
CA 02244286 1998-09-11
an adult of 70kg in weight, a total amount of the humor is
about 4oL, in which about 25L corresponds to the intracellular
humor and about 15L to the extracellular humor. On the other
hand, the extracellular humor is divided into the blood plasma
and intercellular humor, which has 1:3 ratio.
Water, which people ingest day after day, is mainly
entered through oral system by drinking water or eating
foodstuffs containing water. Additionally, it may be generated
in the body as a product of the metabolism reaction, although
l0 it is a small amount. Usually, about 2,50om1 of water enters
into the human body in a day, while about 2,200m1 which is 900
thereof is ingested through the oral system. On the other hand,
even if amount of water, lost out of human body, changes
according to circumferential temperature or movement degree, in
a normal condition, about 90om1 of ingested water is dispersed
in the body and excreted by vaporization of respiratory organ
and skin, in which human cannot feel sensually the loss of
water.
One of essential factors, determining the distribution of
20 water in human body, is an osmotic pressure. In general, water
moves from hypotonic solution to hypertonic solution, which is
an osmotic action. For example, when a semipermeable membrane.
is deposited between a sugar solution in one side and a water
as a solvent in the other side, then the sugar solution cannot
permeate the membrane but the water can permeate the membrane
so to move toward the sugar solution. As described above, the
osmotic action occurs when dividing a solution and a solvent
with the semipermeable membrane. At this time, the solution
indicates a peculiar pressure. The pressure is called as the
30 osmotic pressure. The osmotic pressure is in proportion to a
concentration of a solution when a temperature is constant.
Solution which has equal osmotic pressure is called as an
isotonic solution, and solutions which has lower osmotic
pressure are called as the hypotonic solution. The osmotic
pressure plays essential roles in a bio-phenomenon such as
generation of edema, and a hemolysis of red corpuscles by the
7
CA 02244286 1998-09-11
osmotic pressure.
The osmotic pressure means the number of particles solved
in a solution per unit volume. While the osmotic pressure of
the humor can be controlled by varying the number of the
particles or amount of water, a living body controls the
osmotic pressure of the humor by varying the amount of water in
the body. Such controlling action is achieved by a thirst or an
anti-urination hormone.
Because water moves by free diffusion between cells, the
extracellular humor and the intracellular humor consequently
have equal osmotic pressures. If the osmotic pressure of any
humor changes, water is redistributed until the osmotic
pressures of both humors become equal.
A major factor for determining the effective osmotic
pressure is a concentration of the sodium chloride, which
consists 90% of total extracellular solute which causes the
effective osmotic pressure. Therefore, the increase and
decrease of the concentration of the sodium chloride accompany
the change of the osmotic pressure and the cell volume.
When a person ingests water excessively more than that to
be excreted, the body is in an excessive state of water. The
excessive water then becomes the extracellular humor so to
increase the volume of the cells and dilute the solute.
Therefore, molecules of water continue moving from the
extracellular humor to the intracellular humor until the
osmotic pressures of both humors become equal to each other. As
a result, more water is distributed in the cells rather than
out of the cells, which is a water redistribution phenomenon by
volume change of total humor in body.
In addition, when a person ingests a sodium chloride
solution at rich concentration, the concentration of the sodium
chloride in the extracellular humor is increased. At this time,
although much sodium chloride enters into the cells, an
excretion rate of the sodium chloride is also increased such
that the increase of salt is mainly restricted to the
extracellular humor region. Therefore, while water moves until
8
CA 02244286 1998-09-11
the osmotic of both humors equal to each other, the water
redistribution from the intracellular humor to the
extracellular humor is promoted.
Also, between the blood plasma and the intercellular
humor, water and electrolyte in the blood plasma are let out of
blood vessels in level of a capillary vessel by a colloidal
osmotic pressure of blood plasma protein. The egress and
ingress of humor are balanced by force for drawing the
intracellular humor in the blood vessel inversely by the
colloidal osmotic pressure of the blood plasma protein. That is
a principle of the osmotic pressure. Water is prevented from
excessively flowing in by making normal amount of the sodium
chloride remaining in the blood plasma with use of the above
principle. When applying the solution containing the sodium
chloride on a sagged skin, the concentration of the
intercellular humor increases instantaneously by the sodium
chloride entered into the capillary vessel. Then the increased
concentration makes the water in cells move out of the cells,
resulting in excreting water collected among cells through the
kidneys out of body.
At third, an ion exchange for securing viscous materials
will be explained. The viscous materials are no more than
viscous materials extracted from loess. The viscous materials
show a surprising effect to provide elasticity to the skin. The
viscous materials of the loess are difficult to obtain because
they are combined in ionic bonds. But, when using sea water,
they are easily obtained by method of ion substitution. The
viscous materials are secondary minerals fully containing
minerals such as silica, aluminum, magnesium and so on.
The loess is generally designated as a part of soil which
has yellow color. But the color of the soil varies according to
ingredients contained in the soil. The soil is mostly
recombined in a generating process, and has various forms
according to circumferential condition. The soil is generally
classified in five types, such as Kaolinite, Montmorlillonite,
Illite, Chlorite, and Vermiculite. The classification follows
9
CA 02244286 1998-09-11
a component ratio of silica and aluminum.
The experiments of viscous characteristics of the soils
show that the Kaolinite and the Montmorlillonite have
distinguishable viscous effect. In special, it is shown that
the viscous materials provide hard tightness on the skin when
applied thereon. The degree of the tightness is
Montmorlillonite > Kaolinite > Chlorite > Illite > Vermiculite.
Therefore, according to the result of the experiments, it is
effective to use the Kaolinite and the Montmorlillonite as a
viscous material.
To obtain suitable viscous materials, the natural loess
are pulverized finely. They pass through a sieve two or three
times so to select minute ones, then completely solving them in
purified water. At this time, after throwing away unsolved
ones, the solved loess is stirred and mixed with sea water, and
then keeping the mixture, until the loess sinks, and the
viscous mineral is extricated therefrom. Then, the loess is
eliminated so to obtain the viscous mineral only. The obtained
viscous mineral is mixed with ingredients extracted from the
brown seaweed and the sea tangle. Then, the viscous material
obtained by the ion substitution is electrically combined with
the ingredients of marine plants, which are in ion state, in
sea water, and consequently, the viscous material-combined
cosmetic pigments are obtained.
