PURPOSE:To provide a cosmetic containing a lipid obtained from cuticle cell and preferably a surfactant and capable of radically improving the moisture- retaining function of cuticle layer, giving moistness to the skin and softening the skin. CONSTITUTION:The objective cosmetic contains a lipid obtained from the cuticle cell of mammal such as human, swine, cattle, rabbit, etc., and preferably a surfactant. The lipid derived from cuticle cell can be produced by immersing cuticle cell in a solvent such as chloroform, ethanol. acetone, etc., for 30sec-10 min to effect the preliminary extraction and removal of lipid (e.g. triglyceride, squalene, etc.) originated from sebum gland, and extracting the extraction residue with a solvent such as chloroform, ethanol, etc., at 5-40 deg.C for 2-5hr. The surfactant is nonionic, anionic or amphoteric surfactant. The cosmetic can be used in the form of cream, beauty wash, milky lotion, lipstick, hair tonic, etc. |
