Abstract

The present invention relates to an antioxidant cosmetic composition, and more particularly to an antioxidant cosmetic composition containing, as an active ingredient, either an extract of at least one of Chrysanthemum indicum and Citrus unshiu peel, processed using a medicinal herb processing technique, or a mixture of said extract and an extract of at least one of unprocessed Chrysanthemum indicum and Citrus unshiu peel.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An antioxidant cosmetic composition which contains, as an active ingredient, a mixture of a honey-added and roasted Chrysanthemum indicum extract and a honey-added and roasted Citrus unshiu peel extract,
wherein the mixing ratio of the honey-added and roasted Citrus unshiu peel extract and the Chrysanthemum indicum extract is 1:1, and
wherein each of the honey-added and roasted Chrysanthemum indicum extract and honey-added and roasted Citrus unshiu peel extract is prepared through a method comprising the steps of:
a) adding honey to Chrysanthemum indicum or Citrus unshiu peel and allowing the added honey to be absorbed into the plant for 30 minutes to 1 hour;
b) roasting the plant of step a) at 100-180° C. for 10 minutes to 1 hour; and
c) extracting the roasted Chrysanthemum indicum or Citrus unshiu peel of step b) with water or an organic solvent.

2. The antioxidant cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further contains at least one of Chrysanthemum indicum extract and Citrus unshiu peel extract, and each of the Chrysanthemum indicum extract and Citrus unshiu peel extract is prepared from a plant different from a plant used to prepare the honey-added and roasted Chrysanthemum indicum extract and honey-added and roasted Citrus unshiu peel extract,
wherein the Chrysanthemum indicum extract and the Citrus unshiu peel extract are an extract obtained by extracting each of Chrysanthemum indicum and Citrus unshiu peel with water or an organic solvent.

3. The antioxidant cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein the organic solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of ethanol, methanol, butanol, ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, and mixtures of these solvents with water.

4. The antioxidant cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein the honey-added and roasted Chrysanthemum indicum extract and the honey-added and roasted Citrus unshiu peel extract are respectively or mixedly contained in an amount of 0.0001-30 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

5. The antioxidant cosmetic composition of claim 2 , wherein said composition is a mixture of the extract of at least one of the honey-added and roasted Chrysanthemum indicum extract and the honey-added and roasted Citrus unshiu peel extract, and the extract of at least one of the Chrysanthemum indicum extract and the Citrus unshiu peel extract is contained in an amount of 0.0001-30 wt % based on the total weight of the composition.

6. The antioxidant cosmetic composition of claim 2 , wherein the organic solvent is ethanol.

7. The antioxidant cosmetic composition of claim 3 , wherein the organic solvent is ethanol.

8. The antioxidant cosmetic composition of claim 7 , wherein the ethanol is 80% ethanol.

9. The antioxidant cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein said honey-added and roasted Chrysanthemum indicum extract has a DPPH oxidation inhibitory effect that is at least two folds more than Chrysanthemum indicum extract which is not honey-added and roasted; and wherein said honey-added and roasted Citrus unshiu peel extract has a DPPH oxidation inhibitory effect that is at least two folds more than Citrus unshiu peel extract which is not honey-added and roasted.

10. The antioxidant cosmetic composition of claim 1 , wherein the organic solvent is ethanol.
