Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising Acer okamotoanum Nakai sap treated at an ultrahigh pressure and a manufacturing method thereof and more particularly, to Acer okamotoanum Nakai extract having anti-inflammatory effects and anti-atopic effects, which is treated at a low temperature of 25°C and a ultrahigh pressure of 300 to 500 MPa for 15 to 35 minutes, a functional cosmetic composition comprising the extract as an active ingredient and a manufacturing method thereof. The Acer okamotoanum Nakai extract treated at a low temperature and an ultrahigh pressure according to the present invention has enhanced storability because the growth of microorganisms contained in the extract is inhibited owing to the conducted ultrahigh pressure process, and reduces the loss and inactivity of useful bio-active substances contained in Acer okamotoanum Nakai, which is induced by a high temperature, owing to the treatment at a low temperature. Also the cosmetic composition comprising the Acer okamotoanum Nakai sap, which is manufactured by the method according to the present invention, as an active ingredient is safe in a long-term usage owing to the used natural materials and has no toxicity and no side effect. And the present invention can be useful in manufacturing functional cosmetics owing to the excellent effects of inhibiting inflammation and alleviating and treating atopy.
