Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a composition including a Nypa fruticans extract and a fucoidan extract for reducing skin swelling, and more particularly, to a composition having an excellent effect in alleviating swelling by including a Nypa fruticans extract and a fucoidan extract as active ingredients. BACKGROUND ART Skin swelling occurs when excessive water or salt accumulates in the skin. This reduces skin elasticity and hydration, contributing to wrinkles and aging. Severe skin swelling may lead to skin cracking, loss of skin elasticity and radiance, and increased wrinkles. Such skin swelling is known to be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, excessive salt intake, stress, increased free radicals, lack of sleep, allergic reactions, and hormonal imbalances. A variety of products, including functional foods and cosmetics, are being released to reduce skin swelling, but most of these products lack significant effects or may cause skin irritation due to physical pressure or chemical ingredients. Meanwhile, with the growing demand for products made from natural ingredients that are non-irritating to the human body and do not cause skin problems, extensive research is being conducted to discover and enhance the efficacy of natural ingredients. Furthermore, research is actively underway on mixtures of different natural extracts, utilizing the functions of various natural extracts. However, mixing one extract with another may lead to problems such as precipitation, formulation instability, and reduced user experience, and the desired effects are often not fully implemented. Therefore, the present inventors have conducted ongoing research to develop a composition effective in reducing skin swelling using a combination of natural extracts, and as a result, discovered that by including a Nypa fruticans extract and a fucoidan extract as active ingredients, a composition may be produced that exhibits an excellent effect in at least one of alleviating skin swelling, improving hydration, enhancing elasticity, and increasing skin density, thereby completing the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION TECHNICAL PROBLEM An objective of the present invention is to provide a composition including a Nypa fruticans extract and a fucoidan extract as active ingredients, thereby exhibiting an excellent effect in at least one of alleviating skin swelling, improving hydration, enhancing elasticity, and increasing skin density. The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to above-mentioned technical problems, and other technical problems that are not mentioned will be readily understood by those skilled in the art from the description below. TECHNICAL SOLUTION According to one embodiment of the present invention, a composition including a Nypa fruticans extract and a fucoidan extract for reducing skin swelling is provided. ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS The composition according to the present invention has an excellent effect in at least one of alleviating skin swelling, improving skin hydration, enhancing skin elasticity, and increasing skin density. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS To help better understand the drawings cited in the detailed description of the present invention, a brief description of each drawing is provided. FIG. 1 shows a diagram illustrating the antioxidant effects (radical scavenging activity) of examples and a comparative example.FIG. 2 shows a diagram illustrating the results of reducing swelling in both cheeks, both calves, and both ankles in the placebo-control group, and the E-001 and E-002 administration groups before administration and after two weeks of administration.FIG. 3 is a photographic representation of the results shown in FIG. 2.FIG. 4 shows a diagram illustrating the results of improving skin moisture in both cheeks and the backs of both hands in the placebo-control group, and the E-001 and E-002 administration groups before administration and after two weeks of administration.FIG. 5 shows a diagram illustrating the results of enhancing skin elasticity in both cheeks, the backs of both hands, and both calves in the placebo-control group, and the E-001 and E-002 administration groups before administration and after two weeks of administration.FIG. 6 shows a diagram illustrating the results of increasing skin density on both cheeks, the backs of both hands, and both calves in the placebo-control group, E-001, and E-002 groups before administration and after two weeks of administration.FIG. 7 is a photographic representation of the results shown in FIG. 6. BEST MODE According to an embodiment of the present invention, a composition for reducing skin swelling, including a Nypa fruticans extract and a fucoidan extract, is provided. In addition, the Nypa fruticans extract may be obtained by hot water extraction or ethanol extraction. In addition, the fucoidan extract may be obtained by hot water extraction.
