This application is a Reissue application of U.S. Ser. No. 09/472,438, filed Dec. 27, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,531,165, granted Mar 11, 2003, which is a divisional of application Ser No. 09/155,012, filed Sep. 16, 1998, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a collagen production promoter composition for promoting the production of collagen, which is one of the components of the extracellular matrix.
The shoots of plants are the stage before budding. In preparation for the budding, large amounts of active ingredients such as plant hormones am stored in the shoots. Medical treatments using these highly active ingredients have been known in Europe since the 1960s as “Gemmo-therapy”.
On the other hand, subject, aging proceeds in all organs of the body. However, looking at aging of the skin, which can be visually discerned, especially the face, which people easily focus their attention on, changes is appearance such as wrinkles and crow's feet, stains and age spots, sagging, loss of tautness and gloss trouble many of the middle aged and elderly in the world, particularly women. Up until now, the need for an anti-aging cosmetic has been pointed to, but since there was much about the mechanism, definition, etc. of aging that had act been dear, in conventional cosmetics, the method had been adopted of trying to maintain moisture by adding biochemical product or synthetic polymer product such as a mucopolysaccharide, collagen. However, it became clearer that with this alone, it was not possible to sufficiently prevent aging of the skin.
However, in recent years, there have been studies advanced on aging. As the causes for aging of the skin, viewed macroscopically, actual years has been an important factor. Further, drying, oxidation, the effects of sunlight (UV rays), etc. have been mentioned as direct factors relating to skin aging. Further, it has become clear that, at the skin of the face, there is a remarkable decline in the collagen fiber, which is the most important component of the matrix of dermis. Further, it is suggested that the occurrence of wrinkles and crow's feet and the lass of tautness are closely related to the decline in the collagen fiber.
In this way, when it comes to aging of the skin, various skin aging factors cause a decline in the proliferation of fibroblasts, important cells in the dermis, and the capability to biosynthesize collagen and the like, typical components of the extracellular matrix in the skin, and consequently cause a slowdown in the speed of turnover of the collages etc. As a result, the elasticity of the skin is lost, wrinkles and sagging increase, and aging of the skin progresses.
Under the above-mentioned circumstances, there has been a demand for a collagen production promoter which promotes the biosynthesis of collagen, which is one of the important components in the dermis, so as to prevent aging of the skin and which is free from problems in safety.
Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a collagen production promoter composition having an action promoting biosynthesis of collagen, which is one of the important components of the extracellular matrix of the skin, by acting on the fibroblasts in the skin.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a collagen production promoter composition comprising an extract from a shoot of a tree belonging to Fagaceae Fagus, as an active component, in a base component.

For the extraction, solvents usually used at the time of production of a cosmetic material such as water, ethanol, methanol, propanol, butanol, 1,3-butylene glycol are used alone or in any mixtures thereof. The shoot of a tree belonging to the Fagus used in the present invention is observed to be effective if it is the shoot part, but the use of a young shoot is preferable because of higher effectiveness.

Human skin fibroblasts (hereinafter referred to as “cells”) were used to evaluate the action of an extract of a shoot of a tree of the Fagacase Fagus on the type I collagen biosynthesizing ability of cells. That is, 20,000 cells/well were inoculated in a 96-well plate (Corning: 25860) for cell culture. This was cultured in a RITC80-7 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (hereinafter referred to as “FBS”) for 48 hours, then the medium was replaced with a RITC80-7 medium containing 0.5% FBS (hereinafter referred to as the “medium”). At this time, GATULINE (registered trademark) R (made by Gattfosse S. A.) was added to the medium. The concentrations of the GATULINE (registered trademark) R were made 0.015 and 0.1%. The medium was replaced with a medium containing GATULINE (registered trademark) R, then the cells were cultured for 48 hours. After die: end of the culture, the cells of the culture supernatant were sampled for measurement of the amount of cells for measuring the type I collagen biosynthesis ability.
The type I collagen biosynthesis ability of the cells was evaluated by measuring the amount of Procollagen type IC-peptide (PIP) secreted into the culture supernatent. Specifically, this was measured using a “Procollagen type IC-peptide (PIP) measurement kit (made by Takara Shuzo KK: MK001).
The amount of cells was estimated by the amount of DNA of the cells. The amount of DNA was measured using a Hoechst 33258 reagent according to the method of Cesar Labarca et al. (Analytical Biochemistry, 102, 344-352 (1980)).
The results are shown in FIG. 1. The amount of PIP increased according to the concentration of the extract from the shoot of the Fagus crenate. At 0.1%, a significant increase was observed. As explained above, the extract of the shoot of the Fagus crenate was observed to have the effect of promoting the type I collagen biosynthesis ability without affecting the proliferation of cells al extremely low concentrations of 0.01 to 0.1%.
The following test of use was performed on creams obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 of the formulations shown in Table 1. The amounts formulated an shown in % by weight. The results are shown in Table 2.

Process of Production
The ingredients (1) to (10) shown in the above Table 1 were dissolved under heating (oil phase). On the other hand (11) and (12) were dissolved in purified water (13) and held at 70° C. (aqueous phase). The oil phase was added to the aqueous phase while stirring, Next, the emulsion was processed by a homomixer to reduce the emulsion granules it size, then stirred, then rapidly cooled with stirring, to obtain the desired cream.
Test Method
Eighty healthy adult women of ages 35 to 68 extracted a random were used as teat subjects. They were asked to us the cosmetics on the skin of their faces daily for one month then aloe effect of improvements in the tautness and sagging of the skin and the effect of improvement of wrinkles and crow's feet were investigated.
Effect of Improvement of Tautness of Skin
The state of the skin was observed visually and evaluates based on the following evaluation criteria.
