Description

A shampoo composition with anti-inflammatory properties containing Ecklonia cava extract as an active ingredient The present invention relates to a shampoo composition having anti-inflammatory efficacy containing a sea tangle extract as an active ingredient. More specifically, the invention relates to a shampoo composition having anti-inflammatory efficacy containing a sea tangle extract as an active ingredient, which is an extract utilizing natural substances that is non-cytotoxic and ensures safety regarding side effects, and also possesses excellent anti-inflammatory effects by optimizing the manufacturing conditions of the sea tangle extract. Generally, human hair protects the skull from external physical impacts, ultraviolet rays, fine dust, and sudden temperature changes, and plays a role in absorbing heavy metals that are unnecessary to the body, such as arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), or zinc (Zn), and expelling them from the body. Furthermore, the human scalp is composed of the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue; among these, the epidermis, located on the outermost layer, functions to protect the body's sensitive tissues from damage. An average adult has approximately 100,000 to 150,000 hairs, and each hair undergoes repeated growth and degeneration through a process that includes an anagen, catagen, and telogen phases. Hairs that have entered the telogen phase fall out at an average rate of 50 to 100 per day, thereby maintaining a constant number of hairs. However, due to causes such as an unbalanced diet, excessive drinking and smoking, drug use, lack of sleep, childbirth, menopausal disorders, frequent perms and dyeing, and hormonal imbalances, the moisturizing function of the scalp and hair may be lost, which can cause irritation and further affect hair loss. Among the diseases that may be caused by the aforementioned scalp irritation, seborrheic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that occurs in areas with high sebum secretion. Seborrheic dermatitis is characterized by erythema and dandruff as its main symptoms; it occurs frequently within 3 months of birth or between the ages of 40 and 70, and particularly affects 3 to 5% of adult men. The above seborrheic dermatitis can be caused by excessive secretion of sebaceous glands, hormonal imbalances, and excessive proliferation of scalp cells, and can also be caused by the excessive proliferation of fungi inhabiting the skin. In many cases, it recurs frequently and is accompanied by itching, which causes the patient to injure the scalp, and in severe cases, it can even cause hair loss. In particular, dandruff, which is one of the symptoms of the above-mentioned seborrheic dermatitis, involves fungi that reside on the skin, and the causative agents are mainly known to be Plasmodium ovale (P.ovale), species of the genus Malessezia, or species of Filobasidium. Due to this trend, topical skin agents and shampoos are being developed to eliminate the aforementioned causative bacteria and improve the condition of the scalp by washing away waste and supplying artificial nutrients. However, if the ingredients of the aforementioned improvement products remain on the scalp, they can cause irritation such as stinging, itching, or redness and swelling; consequently, consumers with sensitive scalps are currently reluctant to use scalp and hair improvement products. Therefore, there is a need for scalp-related products that can effectively improve scalp inflammation while exhibiting low irritation to alleviate and soothe scalp irritation. Figure 1 is a diagram showing the amount of NO produced by the Ecklonia cava extract according to the present invention. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The present invention relates to a shampoo composition having anti-inflammatory efficacy containing Ecklonia cava extract as an active ingredient. First, the Ecklonia cava extract according to the present invention is prepared by extracting Ecklonia cava with a solvent, and it was confirmed that this natural extract, which is free from toxicity and side effects and can be used long-term, has anti-inflammatory prevention and improvement effects. Here, the method for preparing the Ecklonia cava extract is not particularly limited and can be carried out using conventional methods known in the industry. In the present invention, the sea mustard is washed, dried, and ground, then a solvent is added for extraction, followed by filtration, vacuum concentration, and freeze-drying to produce the product. More specifically, 5 to 10 times the amount of solvent is added to the washed and dried sea tangle with a moisture content of 5% by weight or less and ground to a size of 100 to 200 mesh, and the mixture is extracted at 60 to 80°C for 2 to 5 hours,
